'Directionalising' Your Mind
The first question when doing change work is to ask, What do I want?
For example many people want to stop, beating themselves up.
However the mind gives you more of what you focus on. So it would be much more useful to re-phrase the above example in a positive statement, such as, I want to totally accept myself and become a more loving person.
If you can't think of anything you want to change, ask yourself the inspiring question, If I woke up tomorrow and a miracle had happened, how would my life be different?
And then you remove the blocks that get in the way of you achieving that goal!
The following tool allows you to define exactly what you want so your change-work is elegant and efficient...
Well-formed Outcome Tool
1. Stated in positives:
State your outcome in positive terms (the unconscious does not process negatives. The sentence I don't smoke
will be computed the same as I smoke.
)
What do you want, specifically? When, where, with whom do you want it?
2. Be in control:
Don't be dependant on other people or the circumstances changing.
What resources do you have to accomplish this?
3. Have an evidence procedure:
How will you know when you have it?
How will you know that the outcome has been realised?
What will you see? What will you hear? What will you smell/taste? How will you feel?
4. Preserve the Positive by-products of the present state:
Behind every negative behaviour, there is a positive intent. This intent must be fulfilled by the new behaviour/state/goal, otherwise your unconscious will satisfy the intent by either going back to the old behaviour or creating a new one.
5. Ecology Check: Verify that your outcome is ecological and desirable:
How will this new behaviour affect other areas of you life? How will it affect family, friends, work place, etc.
Are there any parts that object to this goal?
Does it enhance your life?
NOTE: Even if you don't go through each step of the Well-formed Outcome Tool each time you set yourself a goal, simply writing down what you want to achieve has been proven to increase your chances of attaining that outcome by as much as ten times compared to just thinking about it!
Questions to Help Elicit Present States
1. What is the problem, specifically?
2. How do you know that it is a problem?
3. How do you know how to have it?
4. How do you know when to have it?
5. How do you know with whom to have it?
6. How do you know where to have it?
7. What stops you from changing the problem?
Now that you know what you want you can rummage around in the Treasure Chest and pick out a tool that you think will help you. Look at the different sections in the contents, at the start of this book, to get started.
First off though you might find it useful to read about some fundamental principles of using your mind...
The 'Code' of Your Mind Creates Your Reality! (Sub-Modalities)
It was only in recent decades that the field of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) discovered and systemised something amazing about the way the mind process's reality.
Sub-Modalities, or Sub-Mods for short, are the special sensory qualities perceived by each of the five representational systems/modalities (your five senses in plain English.)
For example if you were remembering a pleasurable learning experience you may recall a picture in your mind of the learning environment.
Where is the picture located in space? That is a sub-modality.
Is it in colour or black & white? That is a sub-modality.
Where are the sounds located in and around your mind? That is a sub-modality.
What are the qualities of the feelings associated with this memory? Where do you feel those feelings in your body? They are sub-modalities.
Below are charts that list sub-modalities for each of the senses:
VISUAL
Number of images
Motion/Still
Colour/B&W
Bright/Dim
Focused/Unfocused
Bordered/Panoramic
Associated (Seeing out of your own eyes)/Disassociated (Seeing yourself in the picture)
Centre Weighted/Wide Angle Size (relative to life)
Shape Three Dimensional/Flat
Close/Distant
Location in space
AUDITORY
Number of sounds/sources
Volume Tone
Tempo
Pitch
Pace
Timbre
Duration
Intensity
Direction
Rhythm
Harmony
Right or Left
Dominance
KINESTHETIC
Location in body/energy field/aura
Breathing Rate
Pulse Rate
Skin Temperature
Weight Pressure
Intensity
Tactile Sensations
OLFACTORY & GUSTATORY (Smell & Taste)
Sweet
Sour
Salt
Bitter
Aroma
Fragrance
Essence
Pungency
It's interesting to discover that, if you listen carefully, you can hear 'sub-modality language' in everyday conversations and in your own 'internal dialogue.'
Examples:
She's making a mountain out of a mole hill.
(Visual – Size)
I feel like I've got a massive weight on my shoulders
(Visual, Kinaesthetic – location)
The right decision was screaming at me
(Auditory – Volume, Direction)
Let's look at the big picture
(Visual – Size, Location)
He's hot!
(Kinaesthetic – Temperature, location)
Quick Sub-Modalities Exercise
Because experience is the best teacher you will gain much greater understanding if you do the following quick exercise now:
1. Think of someone you like. A good friend.
2. Now actually physically point to where the image of that person is located. Good.
3. Break state. Remember we learned about this earlier. eg) Recall your phone number backwards.
4. Now think of someone you dislike. eg) a politician?
5. Notice where you represent them. Actually point to the location of that image.
6. Now look at them simultaneously. Most people discover that they are in different locations. And as you compare both images notice how they have different qualities (sub-modalities) such as one is brighter, one is 3d, the other is blurry, etc. Just take your time and become more curious as you delight in the way your mind works!
7. Great! Now this is cool. Try moving your 'friend' image into the 'despicable so and so' location. It won't go will it! I bet it kind of springs back. And I bet a part (remember 'parts'?) of you doesn't want to do it either and that's a very good thing because your mind helps to protect you: Ecology.
TOP TIP: Location is one of the most important sub-modalities to become aware of as it tends to drive all the other sub-modalities when it changes.
Quick Sub-Modalities Exercise II
1. If you were to imagine your favourite actor or actress speaking to you in a really seductive 'bedroom voice' what would that be like?
2. As you enjoy this experience allow yourself to become aware of where the voice is located. Notice the volume, tone and rhythm.
3. Put that aside for a moment.
4. Now what's it like when you are ragging on yourself? You know, what do you say to yourself when you are beating yourself up?
5. As you hear those harsh words, what's it like as you now change the tonality into the 'sexy bedroom voice' ?
6. Hear a few of your favourite 'beat ups' with this new tonality and try in vain to respond in the same way as before!
TOP TIP: Our internal voices are often out of our conscious awareness and can have a powerful influence on the way we behave.
This way of comparing two experiences is very useful and it enables you to discover which sub-modalities make a difference to your experience:
The difference that makes the difference.
