8. Reframe Emotions Using NLP

This is one of the most powerful NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) techniques used for bringing about a shift in your emotions. In Neuro-linguistic programming techniques, reframing is about awarding a totally different meaning to a particular thought, idea or statement by gathering more content. This is done with the intention of changing or reframing our thought focus.

In reframing, we take an undesirable behavior pattern or characteristic and lend it a more positive intention. We offer greater alternatives to fulfill the positive intention through the power of rationalization as well as negotiation for overcoming mental conflict. Reframing your thoughts and emotions can also alter the entire context or meaning of a tough situation. Reframing is about changing the meaning, frequency or significance of thought knowingly or unknowingly. Framing offers a context or a broader frame to our thoughts. We perceive a situation with a particular reference, which is a direct consequence of the beliefs, ideas, and perceptions we hold. When we challenge these limits or frames, we change the way we react to a particular experience or situation.

For example, our thoughts differently function when we are too cognizant that something needs to completed within a couple of hours as compared to when we are informed that we have a week to complete it. The goal of reframing is to help a person in viewing or experiencing a situation in a different manner, thus impacting their responses and choices. Reframing thoughts, perceptions, and feelings involves being more resourceful when it comes to responding to a situation.

Anchoring yourself is about connecting a particular positive emotion or response with a specific physical sensation so as to evoke the emotion through the physical sensation. When you recognize a positive emotion and connect with a purposeful physical movement, the emotion can be stimulated every time you or someone else is feeling down. Identify what you desire to experience by thinking of a time when you were very happy, or your life was filled with joy. Remember that phase by performing a physical action like nose tapping, shoulder touching or rubbing palms. Keep doing this action until you come up with an anchoring statement signifying positive times. Closely link the happy memories or state of mind with the physical gesture of your choice. Once you are mentally conditioned to link the gesture with an anchoring phrase, you will discover yourself thinking happy thoughts by performing this physical movement or gesture each time. Among other positive effects, your mood will change from negative and disturbed to one of calmness, happiness, and confidence. This technique works wonderfully well when it comes to changing your mood immediately.
