Once you've got the sensation of
confidence, then close your eyes and start to let that feeling increase.
-
Now picture where you'd like to carry this
confidence with you. This may be to a party, a public speaking situation,
playing sport, a job interview - or just everyday life situations.
-
Picture yourself in whichever location you
want to take your feelings of confidence to - whether it's in an interview
room or in front of an audience.
-
Then start to increase that feeling of
confidence even more.
-
Physically feel where the sensation of
confidence is coming from. Is it from your stomach, your head or your
hands?
-
Now start to move this sensation around
your body, running from your head to your feet and back up again. Increase
the feeling even more. You may want to start counting from one to ten,
raising the feeling of confidence in your body with each number.
-
Now you're overflowing with confidence, and
about to 'explode'. What do you do? This is the clever part. What you need
to do is think of an 'anchor'. The anchor is a physical gesture - anything
from punching the air to giving your thigh a pinch.
-
You should perform this anchor movement
when you're at your point of maximum confidence.
-
You should follow this process a few times
to get the hang of it, as well as make it more effective. What it will
enable you to do is to trigger off that feeling of confidence whenever you
want. So if you're going into an interview and need a boost of confidence
it could simply be a case of pinching your thigh - and bingo! You're ready
to conquer the world!
