Attractive Future

The “Attractive Future” format consists of 8 steps, explained in detail below:

1. Define your goal: Find a goal you would like to achieve, for example, in five years. Reflect on who you want to be, what areas of your life you want to change or maintain, how and with whom you want to live, and what will be good for you. (Apply the well-formedness conditions for NLP goals.)


2. Visualize your goal: Create a dissociated self-image of your goal — see yourself from the outside having already achieved it. Does anything about this image need to be optimized? (Adjust submodalities as needed.)


3. Place the goal image on your timeline: Bring your timeline to mind. Where does this goal image belong? Choose the point that intuitively feels right. Then associate into the image and check whether it feels complete and aligned.


4. Check for missing elements: Step out of the image (dissociate) and ask yourself whether anything is missing. If so, send the missing resources to that point and adjust the submodalities to strengthen them. Associate again and test the image from the inside — does it now feel fully right?


5. From the dissociated state: Ask yourself: What else do I need to truly achieve this goal?


6. Anchor supporting resources: Locate all the resources on your timeline that will be useful and anchor them there. Distribute these resources along the timeline where you will need them (activate anchors). Check again — is anything still missing? If yes, repeat the process.


7. Check alignment: From your present perspective, feel how your future draws you forward, how your past supports you, and how all of this gives your present moment direction and energy.


8. Future Pace: Imagine yourself naturally moving toward this desired future, applying all resources and skills along the way.
