How To Boost Your Confidence The NLP Way
 (to boost your confidence is to make you feel much more confident)
 
 With the help of Andy Austin - NLP expert – we’ll help you to use Neuro  Linguistic Programming to change the way you think about yourself, then we give  you some practical steps to help you become a more confident person.

 Step 1:  
 The Circle of Excellence
 So, how do you use NLP to change the way you think about yourself? Imagine an  invisible circle on the floor. Make it about 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in  front of you, something large enough to walk into. You can draw chalk on the  floor if you like when you are first training to master this mental technique.

  Step 2: 
 Visualisation
 Go inside the circle and imagine you are wonderful at what you want to be doing.  Imagine that everything goes smoothly, you're bright, funny, happy, confident,  full of energy and a great success at your task. You want lots of sensations to  come up and flood your body with the good feelings of your confident  performance.
 
 In your mind, you can visualize yourself as a movie hero, a living legend, or an  actor making a speech to get into the state you want. 
 
 Your brain cannot tell the difference between a REAL history and an IMAGINED  history, so all you have to do is emotionally capture that feeling of excellence  using whatever role models or scenario works for you. Go ahead, no one will  know!

 Step 3: 
 Add Sensations
 Use all your senses to actually FEEL what it's like to be in that state. Hear  what is going on around you and overhear yourself responding wittily. Feel  yourself gushing with pride, feel the greatness and calm.

  Step 4:
 Capture The Moment
 When you have added enough detail and sensation, practise stepping in and out of  the confident state you've created within the circle. 
 
 Anchor this as a resource state so that you can bring it up at any time you  require it. In other words, figure out how to draw upon this state at will by  practising it, and then associating some mental or physical link or cue with it  to bring it back when needed. That might be tapping your fingers, holding your  arms in a certain way or whatever physical link you can easily and accurately  repeat. 
 
 Use this method whenever you feel in need of a boost of confidence.
 
 Done.
