Quote of the Week

"In moments of excellence, embrace and anchor them."

- Richard Bandler (Co-Creator of Neuro Linguistic Programming "NLP")🌼

This Week's "Subconscious Success" Tip

What if you could receive a boost of confidence, motivation, or energy on demand?

The founders of NLP created a really cool technique for that! It's called the Circle of Excellence - a transformative exercise to instantly anchor and evoke strong, positive emotions.

Here's how to apply this tip:

Step 1: Think of something you'd like to access on demand. It might be confidence, peace, motivation, or something else!

Step 2: Visualize a Circle on the Floor - Begin by imagining a circle on the ground in front of you. Imagine it shining and radiating with the energy you want to embody.

Step 3: Recall Powerful Moments - Think of at least one time when you felt incredibly confident, motivated, or whatever emotion you want to evoke. Really imagine yourself re-living those powerful moments, seeing what you saw, hearing what you heard, and feeling what you felt at the time. Feel the emotions flowing through you.

Step 4: Step into the Circle - As you step into this circle, allow these intense positive emotions to envelop you. Feel the energy, feel the power. The circle preserves and amplifies this state of excellence.

Step 5: Anchor the Feeling - Once inside the circle and feeling the peak of this emotion, make a unique gesture or touch a specific part of your body to anchor this feeling. Maybe connect your thumb and ring finger or pointer finger, for example.

Step 6: Step Out and Test - Step out of the circle. Notice how you feel. Now activate your anchor. You should immediately feel a rush of those positive emotions.

Step 7: Use as Needed! Whenever you need that boost, invoke your anchor. With practice, the emotions will come more swiftly and intensely.

Why this works (the short version):

The Circle of Excellence uses associative conditioning - connecting a specific physical trigger (the anchor) to an emotional state. This way, whenever you activate the trigger, the emotional state returns. It's kind of like having a superpower button you can press whenever you need it!

Ready to try it?

Entrepreneurship and life are filled with ups and downs. Equip yourself with tools like the Circle of Excellence to keep your energy, motivation, and confidence levels optimal. And remember, the more you practice, the more powerful it becomes. Set aside a few minutes today and harness your badassery!
