Anthony Robbins, world renowned NLP developer and seminar leader gives a gratitude excercise in his program, Get the Edge. Here’s what Mr Robbins suggests as an “hour of power”; “30 minutes of passion” or “15 minutes of fulfillment” first thing in the morning…
1) Get moving – get dressed, get shoes on, getting walking – e-motion – energy in motion – get your body moving, get your feelings moving
2) Start feeling and being GRATEFUL. Tony says he uses a kind of “web” technique. So he starts with his family and close friends and build out the web of gratitude to others in his life. Here’s where you can really think about and dwell upon all the things you could be grateful for in your life – and actually thank God for them and acknolwedge yourself, too.
3) Do this for 2-10 minutes
4) Do a breathing excercise where you stimulate your body’s metabolism. Simply breath in the pattern – inspiration (count 1) hold (count 4) expiration (count 2). Do this 10 times.
5) Think about those things you want in your life – visualise as you’re walking. Combining the movement with the visualisations stimulates the emotional energy and your overall energy. This is very effective.
(2-10 minutes again)
6) Excercise to sweat for 15 minutes minimum – run, jog, swim, cycle whatever – just GO GO GO! And at the same time chant INCANTATIONS – like affirmations but you’re saying them in a state of total conviction whilst excercise and with intense repetition.
For example: “Every day in every way I’m getting stronger and stronger” or “I now command my subconscious mind to focus on the accumulation of wealth and to create that wealth along with health, success and happiness NOW” over and again.
