Page 3 of 6Exercise 1:Imagine someone who makes you feel uncomfortable, or someone who makes you feel small and insignificant, someone who you have trouble dealing with, or someone who you find difficult to communicate with, or someone who always seems to hold the upper hand, and restricts the ways in which you can respond. I think you get the idea. Now think about dealing with them at some point in the future. Right, now in your mind you’re probably making a picture of that person. | |||||||||

If not, or if you have trouble creating an image in your mind, then just imagine a picture of them instead. So what kind of image do you make? Think for a moment, if this image was real what element of it would make you feel uncomfortable? If the person in the image is much larger than you, then that would be scary for instance. If they are very loud, that would be scary. If they have a nasty facial expression then that would be scary too. Imagine if a boxer, prior to a fight, imagined himself fighting his opponent, but imagined his opponent as being twelve feet tall. I guess his confidence wouldn't be very strong and his chance of winning the fight quite slim. Usually there is something unrealistic in the image you make - something that in real life would be scary. There are a number of ways to change the way this representation makes us feel, and we will be coming to many of them later on in the lesson NLP Submodalities - Change your Reality, but for now we’re going to concentrate on the 'content' of the memory. So as a first step, think about some time you are going to be dealing with that person who bothers you, and notice what is unrealistic about the picture and make it realistic. For example, if you imagine them as being unreasonably tall, shrink them down. One by one, change all the unrealistic elements in the image to make the picture more normal. |

Custom StatesPosted May 28, 2010 at 05:33 Maybe you should check the article on NLP state management elsewhere on the site and create yourself a custom state. Put something like playfullness in to prevent you being too serious about the whole thing. Playing around with different states is really cool and a good way to build some flexibility into your behaviors.

Powerful around women?
Posted May 14, 2010 at 10:40
Making yourself feel more powerful around people you find intimidating is good and useful, but doesn't feel right in the situation where I am trying to talk to a woman who makes me feel uncomfortable. What would you use for that?
