#8 Accessing Desired Mindsets and Creating Anchors
Ever wish you could effortlessly enter a state of focus or confidence? Or maybe you’d like to be more joyful or peaceful. In this episode, I discuss the importance of being able to access a variety of emotional and mental states. Your state of mind has an enormous influence on your behavior and actions. I offer a few easy NLP techniques that will help you access more desired and resourceful states. I’ll also show you how to create and use “Anchors” (conditioned stimuli) to quickly and easily enter into any mental or emotional state you desire.

Steps to Create an Anchor:
- Identify the emotional state or feeling you want to increase (e.g., a state of happiness or confidence). Then identify what you will want to use as your Anchor (e.g., a specific scent or something you’ll touch).
- Before you fire the Anchor, access your desired state of mind by vividly remembering a time when you felt that way. Use all your senses—sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, feeling—as you remember this moment and the feeling. Bring yourself there as much as you can and really feel the sense of confidence or happiness that you want to feel. Notice your current state as you re-experience this moment. Are you smiling? Are you sitting up straight? Feel the moment and emotional state as if it’s happening to you right now.
- Once you feel that you’ve hit the peak of this experience and you feel it intensely, Anchor the feeling (i.e., touch the item or smell the scent). Let it settle in for a bit. Experience the feeling of confidence or happiness as you fire the Anchor.
- When you start to feel the experience fade a little or get less intense, break the emotional state. Put your Anchor down and find a way to distract yourself.
- Repeat these steps until you are able to automatically enter your desired state when presented with the Anchor.
- After you’ve accessed the state and Anchored it a few times, it’s a good idea to imagine a situation in the future when you’d like to be in that desired state. Then fire your Anchor and see how you feel. After a while, and with a few repetitions, you’ll find that the Anchor brings you into that desired state.
