7 techniques to feel better and be successful - Tony Robbins



We all go through ups and downs and sometimes you just keep telling yourself to feel confident but your brain and body don't believe you. That's because you are communicating in the wrong way. Here are 7 techniques to improve how you feel and get success that I've found from Tony Robbins.









 The techniques are:

1 Model someone else for a few days
2 Priming
3 Absolute certainty
4 Change your focus 
5 Change your focus - use questions 
6 Immediate feeling change - think
7 Immediate feeling change - action


1.Model someone else for a few days


We all create an identify for ourselves. You can tell someone's identity by the gestures they have, the way they move. It's all to do with your belief system.

One thing that we all try and do is being consistent. So we talk in our heads to be more confident but it doesn't work. So what can you do?

The easiest thing to do is pretend to be someone else for a few days. Eg who is the most confident person you know (or if you can't think of someone think of someone from TV or film). Then just act like them for a week. Move like them, talk like them, have a posture like them. Think like them, behave like them. It might be difficult at first but if you get a few successes then it will build momentum and you will find it easier and easier.


2.Priming


Tony Robbins has a morning priming routing, which creates a rapid change in his physiology. Why don't you try something similar?  His program goes something like this:

  1. Cold water plunge ( but you could just have a quick cold shower) 
  2. Breath walking: Simply walk for a few minutes using a breathing cycle of 4 short inhales through the nose, then 4 short exhales through the mouth 
  3. For 3 minutes feel grateful. Fill your soul with gratitude because when you are grateful it is impossible to be angry or fearful at the same time. 
  4. For the next 3 minutes have a total focus on the feeling of the universe coming in and healing everything in your body, mind, emotions, relationships, finances and solving anything that needs to be solved. 
  5. For the last 3 minutes, focus on three things that you are going to make happen. See it as though its already been done. Feel the emotions. 

3.Absolute certainty


Many people try something without conviction and then fail and then they say, see I told you it doesn't work. But you've got to be certain. But how can you be certain in a world of uncertainty? The trick is to think of the results in your head as if its already happened successfully.


4.Change your focus 


Seek and you shall find. Whatever you focus on you find. It is like when you buy a new car and then you see the same make of car everywhere but before you didn't. Your brain filters out and if you focus on the  negative then you will find the negative and it will take you into a negative direction. Focus on positive things, how you can improve, what great things you can do, how you can help yourself and your friends.

5 Change your focus - use questions 

Your focus is controlled by the questions you ask continually. If you ask questions like why does it happen to me, why I can't I lose weight you will find negative answers. Instead ask questions like what can I learn from this to be better next time or how can I lose weight and have fun.


6.Immediate feeling change - think


When you are trying to do something but in the wrong mood it doesn't work so how can you change? Try the following

  1. Shake your body out. 
  2. Think what are you proud of or what could you be proud of in your life today? Maybe you overcame a problem or did something good? Now when you feel proud, how do you breathe, how do you stand, how do you move, how do you think, how do you feel? 
  3. Think of an area you are grateful for. Really get into the feeling. How do you feel? 
  4. Think of something you are excited about. How do you feel? How do you speak? 

If you really get into this feelings your state should have changed.


7.Immediate feeling change - action

Emotion is created by motion. It is hard to talk your way to feeling better but action helps change how you feel. So take action. Shake your body, stand taller and start doing. Immediate massive actions is the cure all for everything. Do it and if the initial action doesn't work, change it and redo
