OK today I’m going to give you an NLP technique I use with clients that are having problems with inconfidence.

NLP are very powerful and although they seem very simple they actually work on the subconscious mind, where all our memories, feelings etc are stored like a big hard drive. So if we re-write the hard drive, the program we work on changes.

Simple right?

So lets do the technique, by the way this is est read out by a training partner, to work on you and vice versa.

1 Imagine a slightly more confident you standing in front of you.

2 When you have a clear image, I want you to step into that more confident you. See through their eyes, hear through their ears and feel the feelings of your more confident self.

3 Now notice that in front of you is an even more confident you – standing a little bit taller, a look of slightly more self-belief behind their eyes, emanating a little more extra charisma.

4 Step into this more confident self, and notice that in front of you is an even more confident self – more passion, more power, more ease and moving with more comfort.

5 Repeat step three, stepping into a more and more confident you until you are overflowing with confidence. Notice how you are using your body – how you are breathing, the expression on your face and the ight in your eyes.

Ok that is NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) some people are scared of the mind side of sport, this is how simple it is. Enjoy this technique and keep doing it either by reading through it on your own or with your training partners.

You will find you change instantly and the more you do it the more easier it will be to feel more confident. Let me know the results after a few tries at this.
