How to Instantly Tap Into Mental States

 Here’s an idea using a hypnosis tool called “anchoring”. When you arrive at extreme states of consciousness you can train yourself to “anchor” that state to a specific action for that state. Some body language is already linked or anchored to emotional states such as the  “victory pose” and that is demonstrated here

A hypnotist might actually access the emotional centers of your brain and have you imagining the experience of a time when you felt an emotion, they will have you anchor it to an action such as pushing your thumb and forefinger together. A hypnotist will actually give you a posthypnotic suggestion to do this and to return this state when you do, but even without the hypnosis your body language still activates the “neural net” associated with the emotion


With the link in your brain between physical body’s action and emotion it still will work to activate the mental state, although hypnosis might make the experience and the link more powerful.

So I suggest trying this anytime you feel unusually:

Calm/poised,

Confidence,

Energetic/excited,

Focused,

Relaxed,

When you do, use a particular action of your body and repeat a few times to reinforce the link between the action and this state.

Beware though... if you have an action to create more confidence and you only begin to use that “anchor” when you are less confident, eventually you will anchor that action to being less confident if you aren’t careful. So you might want to spend a bit more time in a confident state using that anchor and try to bring yourself into that state as much as you can before activating the “anchor”.


Suggestions of anchors to use if you need it:

“Prayer” (fingers and palms together in front associated with calm)

“Fist pump” confidence and energy

“Victory pose” winning formation for winning feelings, confidence.

“Running in place and jumping up and down” excitement/energy 

“Psychic pose” (fingers on temples) intense focus


Relaxed state—roll your eyes back as if to look at your forehead, breathe in for 2, hood for 4 and exhale for 8. Repeat 3 times. Then put hands together like “prayer” only against your cheek whether you are standing (mild relaxation to ease nerves), sitting (deeper meditative state) or laying down. Or if you meditate you might use the “meditation position” of sitting down legs crossed without moving for 20 minutes and whenever you want to relax and bring up that state you can go back to that position later usually without requiring 20minutes to get into it.

Productivity Falcons have a wide toolkit that may include tricks like this as they can use them to tap into creative states or confident states as necessary to either produce or perform. This might be the kind of work you might see Tony Robbins do with elite performers and athletes or public speakers to help bring them into winning states and so they can access states of peak performance more regularly.

“To Do” lists are for losers. Try this instead.

So now that you are on track to become an early riser , the question is what do you do with your time. You might think to write down a bunch of things you want done. So at first it seems that “to do” lists are a good way of having a list of things available to remind yourself things you thought of to do in one mental state when you are in another. So what’s the problem? Let’s say you’re really feeling ambitious and so you write down 20 things “to do” and then the next morning one thing ends up taking 10 times longer than you thought, you still finish it and maybe a couple other things but you cross out some things on your list and what do you see as you finally finish for the day? All that you DIDNT do. Over time that is not reinforcing of productive behavior. It gets your mind to focus on what isn’t done, rather than what is. So a “Falcon” (My nickname for those who consider themselves productivity Falcons who follow certain methods to massively boost their odds of success and p...
