Get The Life You Want

I have been reading Get The Life You Want by Richard Bandler, the father of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) and I wanted to share the first of many exercises that he includes in the book.  This one is simple yet very powerful the more you practice it.  I will be posting more of them as the days pass, but for now, enjoy this.

HOW TO FEEL WONDERFUL EXERCISE

1)   Think of a time you felt wonderful.

2) Close your eyes and imagine that time in vivid detail.

See the image clearly, hear the sounds loudly, remember

the feelings as they were then.

3) Imagine yourself stepping into that experience and

imagine being in that memory as if it's happening

now. See what you'd see, hear what you'd hear, feel

how good you'd feel. Make the colors stronger and

brighter if that helps. Notice how you were breathing

back then, and breathe that way now.

4) Pay attention to the wonderful feeling in your body

and get a sense of where the feeling starts, where it

goes, and the direction it moves in. Imagine taking

control over the feeling and spinning it faster and

faster and stronger and stronger through your body as

the feelings increase.

5) Think of a time in the future where you could use

these good feelings. Spin these feelings throughout

your body as you think about the future and the things

you are doing over the next few weeks. Don't be too

surprised if you find yourself feeling really good for

absolutely no reason.
