How To Motivate Yourself Instantly!

Hi Anddreee,

Let us talk a little bit about resources. What are resources? These
are things that are experiences that make you feel a particular
way. There are many types of experiences and they include making
simple successes, past enjoyments, physical sensation, emotional
experiences and even special victories. All resources tap into the
state, make you feel resourceful. If you want to feel resourceful,
you need to tap into the events of the past that made you feel
resourceful.

This way, you will be able to exhibit the behaviors associated with
that resource. If you felt somewhat fearful, what resource would
you need? Well, you could probably think up of states, such as
determination, or even a sense of calm, or better still, a
combination of both. It does not matter that the times you
experienced these resources were not exactly the same situation
that you are experiencing now. All you really want to do is to be
able to tap into that state and become more powerful.

Likewise, even if you did not experience that state as powerfully
as an intensity scale of ten, just go in there because knowing how
to control your sub modalities means that you can intensify the
power of that resource. So, just go ahead and experience what it
might be like.

The next exercise we want to do is known as Mapping Across. Mapping
of sub modalities requires you to understand a few concepts. First
of all, you should know that every resourceful memory has a
structure that you can identify through the sub modalities
checklist.

Secondly, you can take the structure or the experience of the
resourcefulness, and use that to change the feeling or structure or
an experience that does not feel as resourceful as it should be.
For instance, if you felt confident in a past, you can take the
same confidence and put it in your new situation, so that even if
you used to feel a little bit unsure of yourself in this new
situation, you could use that confidence to bolster that confidence
in that new situation.

Let us do an experiment. Take an experience where you
procrastinated in doing something. But, the state of
procrastination should be one where you know that if you did do it,
it would benefit you. Go to that time now and identify the sub
modalities of procrastination. What state must you be in, in order
to do what you suppose to do? My guess is that you will need a
state called motivation instead of procrastination.

Could you think of a time where you were motivated? Maybe, when you
are compelled to get something done? Think of that situation and
identify the sub modalities behind that state. Once you have done
that, go back into the situation of procrastination. And now,
change the procrastination sub modalities, such that they are
motivation sub modalities instead. For instance, if the sub
modalities of procrastination were dark, closed and in color, but
the sub modalities of motivation were bright, closed and in color,
then, visualizing yourself in the situation of procrastination just
changing the level of brightness by making it brighter.

You will not have to change anything else because they are the
same, and since your mind codes it that way, changing those will
not make much of a difference in your coding of experience. As you
do this exercise, just remember to identify the differences between
the two experiences of procrastination and motivation, and make
changes only to those that are different. In NLP, we call them 'the
difference that makes the difference'.

Since both of them are coded differently, it must be the difference
in that coding that creates the bulk of a change of experience.
What you might expect as the outcome of this experiment will be
that the situation of procrastination will now appear more
motivating to you. You might even feel more compelled to go out and
get that thing done.

To your success!
