How Do You Program Your Mind? One of the most important and useful aspects of using NLP to master yourself and fine tune your technique is in the art of creating resource states. Resource states are states of mind that can be 
used to positively re-program your past, present and future.
One of the classic uses in NLP is for programming a state of
confidence into your future. Most guys have had this experience of profound sense of confidence at some stage in their life. Maybe it only lasted a few seconds and was many years ago. This is fine. The beauty of this technique is that it allows one to capture that wonderful resource, create more of that state, and place it exactly where one desires!

The amount of different useful states of mind is vast and
the fact is we hardly ever tap into these hidden
resources. Some of the more useful resource states include; Confidence, Creativity,
Relaxation, Playfulness, Concentration, Perseverance,
Ecstasy.... etc etc.
Here's a couple of examples to clarify what I'm getting at:
Have you ever read a book that was really deep, like the book "THINK", that made you feel really
inspired, fired up and motivated? In what capacity could you use that? How about programming
that state into your workplace, your hobby, your sales pitch, dating techniques?
Now think - can you remember or imagine a time being in nature, surrounded by mellow shades of green, spotted shadows with gleams of sun, with soft sounds of birds in the distance and a close by stream. Where could you use that state of tranquility? Can you program your mind to recall that state in the future? Yes you can. Just like how we use binding to bind a prospects thoughts together and using kino to re-call this feeling, we can program ourselves with the same results.
And now to the actual technique. Treat yourself to 10 - 15 minutes to do this the first time. You will begin to notice that the more you PRACTICE the technique more you'll be able to achieve good results in less time....
NLP Technique:
Program A Resource State Into A Future Situation
- Think of a resource state you want more of in a future
situation. (Joy, Ecstasy, Fun, Creativity, Confidence,
Compassion etc.)
- Relax down into a trance. (Use whatever way you want to
go into a relaxed state. e.g. Deep breathing, self-hypnosis,
meditation techniques.) The more relaxed you become the more
powerful the rest of the exercise will be, so enjoy becoming
more relaxed.
- Remember a time you felt the chosen resource state
strongly. Or imagine a situation in the future that would
allow you to feel that resource state.
- Fully internalize the experience and see what you saw
at the time, hear what you heard and feel those feelings.
Make the colors brighter, turn up the sounds and amplify
the feelings. Anchor this feeling by squeezing your finger
and thumb together.
- Notice where those feelings are in your body. What color
would you give these feelings? Imagine spreading that
color/feeling up and down your body, amplifying the
feelings. When the feelings are amplified, again squeeze
your finger and thumb together to capture that feeling.
- Break state. (Look around the room or remember your phone
number etc.)
- Test Anchor: Squeeze your finger and thumb together. If
you've done the above steps correctly you should feel those
feelings coming back.
Congratulate yourself (This is very
powerful as it re-enforces the idea in your mind that you can
do these exercises and they will become even easier to do!)
- Here's a great tip they don't often tell you in NLP
books. You can "double-up" and make a 'Super Resource State'? Go
back to step one and stack another state on top of the first
one. Squeeze the same finger and thumb together (Example: Confidence AND Relaxation). Great! Now you have programmed your mind to recall not only your confidence, but now you can espress your "confidence" and also be "relaxed" simultaneously.
- Now think of a specific situation where this supreme
resource state would be useful.
- Imagine what you will see/hear just before you want this
state to kick in. Example: Her profile as you approach her, her eyes as she turns to look at you, how she responds etc etc.
- Now fire the resource anchor by squeezing your finger
and thumb together whilst imagining being in the chosen
situation, unfolding as you desire it too.
Wonderful! Now you can look forward to that future situation with alot more anticipation and excitement.
The technique you just learned can be used in tons of situations with the greatest outcome.
Each time you practice the technique with another resource
state/situation you will condition your mind to make the
procedure even easier next time...

Overcomming Your Fear: Imagine discovering a way to get rid of your fears in a quick and painless manner. In fact it can even become fun!
Did you know only two of all the fears you have are innate: The fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. Most of your fears were learned in early childhood and then in later life under stressful conditions.
So just how do fearful feelings occur then? Consider this: Fred wants very badly to talk to the hot sexy bunny that always occupy the seat the the reception desk for months. Finally he muster up some courage from his losy jelly back self to ask. Needles to say, he got cold feet and as he starts the walk down the corridor he starts to feel certain sensations (wimp sensations) in his body. Weird stomach feelings.
His breathing is constricted. Slight sweating in his palm and on parts of
his body. His vision is effected. 
Fred decides to turn back
and then sits down feeling slightly annoyed with himself (classic jelly-back)
His body started producing 'fear chemicals.' What happened?
Well it was because he defied his Dad one time when he was
four. Let's explore those forgotten memories....”
NO! NO! NO! Hell no! Let's do something alot smarter and definitely
more fun.
Hey Fred come over here I want to show you something really
cool! O' come on, pick your lip up.
You know how before you got up to go ask that girl out, you felt OK right? So between the time you got up and
started walking something happened. Something triggered
those feelings in you. Here's what happened: You either
made a picture in your head or talked to yourself in a way
that created those fearful (jelly-back) sensations and that happened at
an unconscious level out of your awareness.
OK Blake that might be true but so what, what's your
point?”
Well the point is by changing the internal sounds, pictures
and voices in your head you can begin to gain control of
your emotions.
Fair enough but how can I do that so when I'm in a similar
situation I automatically make useful pictures, sounds and
voices in my head so I remain in a resourceful state?
Good question, here's just one way you can achieve the
results you want using a simple and powerful tool from the
field of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
Soothing Movie Music:
- Think of a situation where you feel fear.
- Dissociate: See yourself in the situation like you would a
movie with you in it.
- Imagine running the memory from the END of the fearful
situation, BACKWARDS to the START. Do this very fast in less
then 1 second!
- Think of some music that makes you feel the opposite of
fear. For example soothing classical music makes you feel
relaxed. Perhaps certain rock or dance music makes you feel
energised/courageous etc.
- Now hear the music, nice and loud, inside your mind whilst
looking at yourself going through the situation from START
to END.
- Break state. Now think of the situation you choose in Step
1 and notice how your fearful feelings have diminished.
- What will you see or hear just before you want this new
feeling to set in?
