FEEL GREAT INSTANTLY! A powerful NLP technique to improve sports performance is anchoring.
This is when a positive emotional state from a past experience is captured, intensified, and then programmed to be triggered at any time when needed. ANYTIME!
Imagine being able to switch a state/mood whenever you wanted!? On demand!?
Setting an Anchor and feeling great INSTANTLY!
Anchored states are created and triggered naturally all through our lives.
Aristotle wrote: “Excellence is not an act, but a habit.”
The actions that we take each day are what define us.
Our habits shape our achievements; this means that our success is more of a journey than a destination.
Anchoring an ‘In the Zone’ State
An anchor is any stimulus that changes your state and creates a response.
It can involve any kind of sensory input - visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, olfactory or gustatory. It might be the smell of coffee brewing, or bacon frying, hearing a snippet of music, or seeing the outline of someone who looks familiar - and it changes the way you feel.
Your state is created by your sensory experience, your memories and thought processes.
Nobel prize winner Ivan Pavlov trained dogs to expect food when a bell was rung, the result was that their minds and bodies were conditioned and aroused to the point that they salivated whenever they heard a bell, even though there was no food.
NLP practitioners train people to access really intense feelings by remembering when they performed at their very best and experienced winning states.
Clients can use anchors to manage their state when they need confidence and to choose how they will feel, rather than allowing other people’s moods or ‘the world’ to decide how they feel.
They learn how to enhance a small stimulus and at the peak of that experience to harness that state.
