Solets take a scale we know from health care you may have experienced as apatient or a practitioner . Pain scale

Ona 1-10... etc.. although NLP wise it might be more helpful to speak of yourlevels of comfort instead of using the word pain.

Ona 1-10 with one being nope no energy to do this at all and 10 being firing onall cylinders and up for it... where are you... really.

Youmight be saying yep I’m a 9 but acting like a 3......

Sonext great question to ask in either of this examples s... what would raise thescore?

Canyou do something to raise the score?

Becauseat the end of the day you... and only you really know how you’re feeling abouthow much energy, momentum etc you have for change.

Thiscan also help with leading a team who may “collectively catastrophise how busythey are.A leader might say ...

“SoTeam on a 1-10 with 1 being nothing happening give us more to do and 10 being wehaven’t got time to be in this meeting.. crazy busy.”

Howbusy are we?

Howbusy do we wish to be?

Howcan we manage a number (score) we don’t like into a better place?

Thisis a great tool for life and work. And Kate and Tina talk about end of lifetoo.

Sometimes we just aren’t feeling it are we And we would rather feel better...

So this episode talks about ways we can change our mood. moods come and go as we know and it depends why we have landed where we are.. if wehave a mental illness or a recent bereavement we have every reason to be feeling a certain way or presenting in a certain way.

But at other times we know we want to shake off a certain way of thinking and there are things we can do to help ourselves. Also want to give a nod to toxic positivity?

A bad day doesn’t mean a bad life it’s a moment Go outside , look at nature, have a nice coffee, hot chocolate or something to sooth your mind for a moment and change your state.

You are not your thoughts, it’s a passing visitor and may be unhelpful “ deliveries for neighbours in the middle of a virtual meeting” or helpful “reminder to senda friend that card “ Thoughts are random

Feeling are not facts... NLP can defiantly help with that and Timeline therapy... is worth looking into... We both can do this... so shout out if you’re interested.

So take a moment, stand up, or sit on a bench if you’re out , gaze at the sky, a leaf, your favourite picture or photo and remember how it is to feel contented.

“when that felt good”. Take an imaginary photo of that moment. Remembering how youfelt, what was happening, was the sun shining? Were people laughing? What couldyou hear, see and feel... maybe even smell, baking bread, freshly mown grass forexample.

Now in NLP we help you to Anchor this feeling to press on one of your knuckles when that contented and lovely feeling is present. Say to yourself ”I’m saving this great feeling for later” and do just that...
