First and foremost, you need to know what NLP anchoring is. NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is your automatic response to stimuli. NLP is similar to classical conditioning that is taught in many psychology classes. Anchors are just one of the tools in NLP and are used to hold a feeling or reaction in place.
Throughout are lives we are constantly being conditioned whether we realize it or not. For instance, maybe as a small child, a relative would lock you in a dark closet just to bully you around a bit. As a result, you might be claustrophobic or afraid of the dark. These feelings are a negative result of the incident. In order to overcome the phobia, you have to retrain your brain with positive thoughts and feelings.
Maybe you do not know why you react the way you do to certain situations, then again, maybe you do. All of us have memories and feelings associated with those memories. Of course, they are not all good; but, they are not all bad either. The goal of NLP Anchoring is learning new associations with stimuli.
What if you cannot focus on anything at all much less anything good when you are in this state? Well then let's try something else.
If it will help you with NLP Anchoring, when you attain the feeling that want, touch a certain place on your hand, wrist, leg, etc... When the anxiety, fear or whatever feeling you do not want to feel fades, let go of the memory. Now, think of another time when you felt confident, happy, etc... Use the same gesture and see how long it takes for the good feelings to replace the bad ones.
NLP Anchoring can also be associated with a person. If you have someone that you really love to spend time with, think of them when negative situations arise. We all have the situations in life that even just the thought of them makes us cringe. The above mentioned NLP Anchoring will help to make the situations more bearable if you practice. - 31969
