Do you ever feel anxious, nervous, depressed, frustrated or angry? Or that your self confidence and self esteem seem to be bottoming out and in need of a boost?

These tips and techniques come from a Master NLP practitioner. They are clinically tested methods you can start to use right now to eliminate all your negative emotions and replace them with positive and empowering emotions and feelings.
These techniques aren’t my creation - they’re part of a powerful personal development technique known as Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP for short. The program was created by a Master NLP practitioner who coaches with some of the biggest “blue chip” and Fortune 500 companies around today. The very simple techniques will teach you how to turn a negative and disempowering emotion into a position of strength and power.
Having the knowledge is nothing without action.
You may be familiar with the saying that “knowledge is power” - unfortunately that’s not quite true. You could read everything here, gain the knowledge but still not see any improvements in your life. That’s because “Action is Power”, not knowledge. To reap the benefits of these techniques you must put them into action. It will only take you 10 - 15 minutes a day, but they will likely be the most powerful and stimulating 15 minutes.
Have You Got Your Magic Hats
The whole process you are going to discover here can be broken in to 5 simple steps - these steps are known as The Magic Hats Program. They are very distinctive and highly effective.
Step 1. Self Hypnosis. Self Hypnosis is the secret door to controlling your mind. You’ll learn how to place yourself in a deep state of complete relaxation. Even within the first few minutes of this step you’ll start to feel more energised and a lot happier.
Step 2. Modalities. Your modalities are your modes of thinking - or how your brain recalls past memories. Have you ever smelt a familiar smell and almost immediately recalled the memory of where you were and what you were doing when you first encountered that smell. Or looked at an old photo and had the memories come flooding back? We remember our past experiences through our senses - just like this.
Step 3. Swish Patterns. This is a very simple technique that allows you to change from Mike Spencer is a life and personal development coach. Here he shares a very simple approach to overcome your fears and build the life of your dreams. These simple techniques can be your roadmap on how to build self confidence and overcome the things that are holding you back from achieveing the things that are really important to you.one state (feeling down, unhappy, etc) to another (feeling happy, confident, elated, excited)
Step 4. Anchors. We use anchors to store and recall positive emotions and experiences that make us feel good. An anchor can be a word or phrase, or an old photo, or a familiar smell or. Anything that triggers stored memories.
Step 5. Understand your mode of operation. Most people simply react to the things that happen to them every day, and are therefore controlled by their environment. By understanding how and why we react in these ways, we can start to take control of our reactions, and finally decide how we react to the every day things that we experience.
How to relax at the flick of a switch.
As human beings we work and function best when we are relaxed. In order for these techniques to work, you need to be fully relaxed - so here’s how to get more relaxed than you’ve probably ever been before. You can do this anywhere you wish just so long as you won’t be disturbed for the next 10 minutes.
First, find your self a secluded spot with a comfortable chair where you won’t be disturbed. Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor and the base of your spine pushed back into the base of the chair. OK, let’s begin.
1. Place your right hand on your stomach where you belt buckle sits (or would sit if you’re not wearing a belt).
2. Push your stomach out into your right hand and at the same time take a deep breath in trying to fill your lungs into your stomach. Then allow your lungs to expand into your ribcage. When your lungs are full, hold your breath for the count of 6. This method ensures you completely fill your lungs with oxygen rich air, and get as much of that oxygen as possible into your blood stream.
3. Start to breath out slowly again for a slow count of 6. At the same time pull in your stomach muscles to help squash the air out of your lungs. Suck your stomach in as far as you can. When you’ve breathed out all the air and sucked your stomach in, hold it for a slow count of 6.
4. Take a deep breath in again and repeat the process for between 6 and 12 times.
So the process is: Push out stomach and breathe in - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6; Hold breath - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6; Suck in stomach and breathe out - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6; Hold breath - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6; Repeat 6 - 12 times.
When you’ve finished (or maybe even while you’re in the middle of the exercise) you may feel slightly dizzy or light headed. This is simply because your blood is now highly oxygenated and you are more relaxed.
