“Man is a filter for the truth, for it clings to him but never penetrates.”

Submodalities (2)

Last week we already created positive and negative images in our mind's eye. We reduced the unpleasant images. In the next step, we will destroy the unpleasant images to get rid of them forever! We will let the positive images grow larger and create our success film.

Exercise for This Week

a) Now we want to destroy unpleasant images!
Is there something that burdens you? Have you learned everything good there is to learn from this situation? Then let's get started: Imagine the unpleasant image.

1) Imagine you are setting the image on fire. Hold an imaginary lighter under the image and imagine how the image slowly shrinks, turns black, and crumbles to ash.

2) Imagine the image is made of watercolors and you pour water over it with a watering can – all the colors blend together and create a colorful something on which nothing can be recognized anymore.

3) Imagine the image as a glass mirror. Then take a hammer and destroy the image – it shatters into a thousand pieces. You take a shovel and broom, sweep everything together, and dispose of it as hazardous waste.

b) Create your success film today!
Imagine you have just achieved an important goal. You are happy and cheering. Now enhance this film with a few tricks from Hollywood. Change the perspective, add music, change the color intensity – until it feels really good. You are the director of your life. You write the roles, you applaud yourself, you play the lead role in your theater.

c) Contrast method
Imagine something you are very motivated for and write down all the submodalities for it. Then imagine something you cannot motivate yourself for and determine the submodalities for it as well. Now compare the differences and transfer the differences to the unmotivated image. With this method, you can motivate yourself for something you previously had no motivation for. Have fun with it!

Metaphor of the Week

Until the soul catches up

A European biologist had hired a group of Indian porters for a Himalayan expedition. The researcher was in a great hurry because he wanted to reach his destination quickly. After the group had crossed the first major pass, he allowed them a short rest. But after a few minutes, he called for them to set off again. The Indian porters simply remained seated on the ground, as if they hadn't heard him. They were silent and their gaze was directed to the ground.

When the researcher urged the Indians more sharply to continue, some of them looked at him in surprise. Finally, one said: “We cannot go on. We must wait until our souls have caught up.”

Often we set ourselves big goals and want to achieve them sooner rather than later. In doing so, we often forget that achieving goals usually means change and that change is a process that takes time. Take this time to let your soul catch up in peace.

Book Recommendation

The subtle difference
Authors: Richard Bandler & Will MacDonald

Short Description:
A flexible approach to submodality change patterns requires practice. This book offers plenty of inspiration and detailed instructions. Clear demonstrations illustrate the easy-to-follow, well-explained practice steps. Richard Bandler once again makes it clear how much a flexible approach to NLP methods helps to fully exploit the fantastic possibilities and resources of subjective experience – as a basis for effective motivation strategies as well as for the process of transforming confusion into understanding, for the induction of trance states as well as for changing attitudes. A learning book on the submodalities concept: indispensable for NLP training.
