Change Your State and Be Resourceful

Whenever YOU Want!

Have you ever woken up to find that something goes

wrong the minute you step out of bed? And I bet you

then think something along the lines of “is it going to be one of those days?” And guess what, it

turns out to be “one of those days” where nothing really turns out the way you want it to. Do

you ever have times when you’re feeling a bit flat or tired? Or perhaps you’re worried about

something now and you can’t quite shift the feeling. Maybe there’s an event or a conversation

that didn’t go so well and you can’t stop thinking about it.

Whatever that old state or emotion is, whether you feel upset, angry, stuck, unmotivated,

depressed, worried or fearful, you can change your state in just a few seconds and bring a new

perspective to the old problem.

Have you ever noticed that when you’re having a great day, everything goes well and you feel

fantastic? So, all you need to do to have a great day every day is to ensure you are in the same

resourceful state as you were when you last had a fantastic day.

So how do you do it? Well, here’s a technique you can use to change your state really quickly.

If you need to raise your energy levels and perform at 100% this is a great technique to get you

there.

It’ll just take a few seconds. Ready? Good.

Can you remember the last time you felt really happy and you were REALLY successful or

feeling another really powerful positive emotion? Put a smile on now. And think about the

event which caused you to feel that fantastic emotion, who were you surrounded by? Was it

friends? Was it family? Were you by yourself? What could you see? What could you hear?

What could you feel? Were you laughing? Were you talking in a really animated way? How were

you standing? How were you moving? How were you breathing? Did you want it to last forever?

Really go into that event and, looking through your own eyes, what are you seeing? What are you

feeling? What are you hearing? Really feel as you’re

there, right now?

OK. Are you smiling? Good, now stand or hold your

body in exactly the same way as you were then.

How do you feel? Feel good? Feel great? Feel

energised?

So, you’ve just discovered how to change your state by transporting yourself (IN YOUR MIND)

to a time when you were having a really fantastic time, when you were really enjoying yourself.

And you can access that time, any time you choose, as a method to raise your mood and make

you smile!

That is how powerful your thoughts are. You could repeat this exercise for 5 minutes every

day and see how your body feels when you do it. It bet you’ll feel great! By spending time

focussing on a really positive experience every single day, you can radically uplift your emotional

state.

Want to try something else? Get out your favourite CD, play it on high volume and sing along

until it makes you feel totally alive. Or find a film which makes you laugh until it hurts, and

watch it. Or open a book which makes you smile from ear to ear.

Whatever your technique, spend a little time every week (every day if you can) doing

something you really, really enjoy. That way, you (quite literally) lift your spirits and bring a new

perspective to old problems or worries. Why not invest just 10 minutes every day this week and

really enjoy bathing every cell of your body in these feelings of power, success and energy!
