The Big Picture:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You’re going to create two pictures in your mind, one at a time.\u00a0 One is a picture of “the problem.”\u00a0 However you want to represent it is fine.\u00a0 The other is a picture of “the goal.”\u00a0 This second picture represents the result you want to achieve, whether it be a physical thing (like a new body size), or an emotional thing (like calmness).\u00a0 Then you’re going to manipulate these images as described on an imaginary computer screen.<\/p>\n

The Details:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \u00a0Create an image in your mind of “the problem.” It can be realistic, or it can be symbolic.\u00a0 For example, a problem called smoking might be represented by a pack of cigarettes (realistic) \u00a0or a dark cloud in the sky (symbolic).\u00a0 It doesn’t matter what you choose.\u00a0 Any image THAT MEANS TO YOU the problem.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Example:<\/p>\n

    \"Stop<\/a><\/p>\n

    Some of you say:\u00a0 “But\u2026 wait, I can’t make pictures in my mind.”\u00a0 Yes, you can, and yes, you do.\u00a0 All the time.\u00a0 Quick.\u00a0 What color is your car?<\/p>\n

    If you can answer that question, here’s what you just did, even if it was outside of conscious awareness.\u00a0 You looked at the car in your mind.\u00a0 Yes, we are all visual beings.\u00a0 And that means you.\u00a0 So, let a picture form in your mind of the problem.\u00a0 Any picture.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Create an image in your mind of what you want to achieve. “The goal.”\u00a0 Again, it can be realistic or symbolic.\u00a0 For our smoking example, the goal \u00a0of nonsmoker might be a healthy lung (realistic) or a picture of a green smiley face (symbolic).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Example:<\/p>\n

      \"Happy<\/a><\/p>\n

      The content of your picture that you create in your mind does not matter for our purposes.\u00a0 It only matters that\u00a0the picture is\u00a0what your mind conjured to represent your success.<\/p>\n

      Ok, great!\u00a0 You’ve got these two images in your mind, the problem and the goal.\u00a0 We’ll use them in a moment.\u00a0 For now, set them aside.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Imagine a computer screen in front of you. It’s blank.\u00a0 White.\u00a0 Nothing at all on it.\u00a0 Like a blank piece of paper.\u00a0 This is a third image.\u00a0 We’ll call it “blank screen” and it will be used in our process as well.\u00a0 Memorize the nothingness of a white blank screen.<\/li>\n
      2. Understanding the process. Read this section carefully, more than once if you like, before you perform the technique.\u00a0\u00a0 Follow these directions to the letter, to give the proper communication to your unconscious mind for your success.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Here’s what you do.\u00a0 You take the problem picture and see it filling the entire computer screen in your mind like wallpaper.\u00a0 You’ll be shrinking it.\u00a0 Quickly!\u00a0 Resizing it.\u00a0 Down, smaller, smaller, into a speck, a dot, a nothing, into a bottom corner of the screen.\u00a0 In my mind’s eye, I see it as similar to Window’s minimize function.\u00a0 You click that little _ symbol at the upper right of the window, and watch what happens.\u00a0 A very quick shrinking, shrinking, shrinking.\u00a0 It’s gone.\u00a0 The instruction to your mind through this visualization:\u00a0 make my problem less and less until it’s gone.<\/p>\n

        That’s one piece of what’s going to happen.\u00a0 The problem picture shrinks and vanishes.<\/p>\n

        AT THE SAME TIME<\/strong>, something else is going to be happening, on the same screen.\u00a0 Simultaneous to the problem picture shrinking, the goal picture is going to be expanding and enlarging.\u00a0 The goal picture starts as a speck in the bottom corner of the screen and rapidly maximizes to fill the screen like a wallpaper.\u00a0 Bigger, bigger, bigger until it takes over, and it’s all you see.\u00a0 The instruction to your mind through this visualization:\u00a0 I want more of this!<\/p>\n

        Again, these two images transform simultaneously.\u00a0 The problem picture only shrinks and leaves.\u00a0 The success desired outcome picture only grows and takes over the screen.\u00a0 To the best of your ability, see these two things as happening together at the same time.<\/p>\n

        The process.\u00a0 Look at the problem picture filling the screen.\u00a0 See the goal picture as a tiny dot in the corner.\u00a0 Now, SWISH.\u00a0 See them trade places.\u00a0 Suddenly, you’re looking at the goal picture filling the screen and the problem picture is gone.<\/p>\n

        Once you’ve made that happy transition, imagine the third image.\u00a0 “Blank Screen!”<\/p>\n

        Set the full-sized problem image back onto the screen, and repeat the above, with simultaneous shrinking of the problem and growing of the goal.\u00a0 Repeat this process approximately 15-20 times.\u00a0 Problem image turns into goal image, then blank screen.\u00a0 Problem image turns into goal image.\u00a0 Blank screen.\u00a0 Problem image turns into goal image.\u00a0 Blank screen.\u00a0 Problem image turns into goal image.\u00a0 Blank screen.<\/p>\n

        You are giving the following Instruction to your creative unconscious mind:\u00a0 Not that, this!\u00a0 Not that, this!\u00a0 Not that, this!\u00a0 Note:\u00a0 it may become harder to conjure up the problem picture.\u00a0 If that happens, GREAT!<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Read section four until you fully understand the process. And then, go for it! Do the process, either with eyes open or closed.<\/li>\n
        2. Test! Try to conjure up the original problem image.\u00a0 If it’s somehow weakened or blurred or tiny or even nonexistent, that’s success.\u00a0 If your mind jumps now to the goal picture, that’s success.\u00a0 What you focus on expands, so we want your mind to see success, not problems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          You have just performed a very explicit unconscious communication with your own mind. \u00a0“Not that!\u00a0 This!!” \u00a0Here’s what happens now.\u00a0 You get out of the way and allow your unconscious mind to guide you into living “this” goal picture.\u00a0 It gives you nudges toward behaviors that support that goal.\u00a0 It creates new beliefs that empower that goal.\u00a0 It creates new energy and responses in you.<\/p>\n

          Good job! \u00a0I hope you enjoy your “Not That, This!” outcomes. \u00a0There’s so much more to this control panel in our minds. \u00a0If you’d ever like to learn how to run your mind and optimize your life, take our Seattle NLP Training<\/a> course. \u00a0Michael and I are Licensed Trainers of NLP \u00ae through the originator of NLP.<\/p>\n
