What Are You Not Thinking About Right Now?

Well? Think about it; What is it you are not thinking about right now?… Isn’t this just the best damn pattern interrupt?

Go back and read the previous statement again… because… The more you read it the more you will realize that the more you think about whatever it is you are not the more it is you won’t be able to not go in a loop.

Now does reading this confuse you? Good, because imagine doing this with the proper spacing of words, good tonality and a couple of embedded commands like ‘your unconscious’ thrown in for good measure. That’s right, this is a powerful pattern interrupt.

Give it a shot, use the above question “what is it you are not thinking about” and anchor the response, you might be surprised just how powerful this little bit of anchoring is when you use it again.

For example, I had a friend who was very emotionally distressed because things didn’t work out between him and a girl and after using some DHE techniques (if theres interest I’ll write more, absolutely fantastic stuff by Richard Bandler here!)  he was ‘almost’ comfortable with the memory of her so I asked the ‘what are you not thinking about question’ and anchored it by putting pressure on one of his knuckles and asked him what her name was (note the passed tense) and fired the anchor, I then proceeded to ask him how bad he felt (note the negative presumption) while firing the anchor again.

End result, including DHE the total time was ~2 minutes and he reports tthat there is no feeling towards her or asociated with her anymore. So play around with this, its powerful, and don’t even think about telling someone to “SLEEP NOW” with enough authority as they do the trans derivational search because that would just be way too easy a rapid induction.. Infact anchoring it and firering the anchor just before a nice little embedded “LIKE ME” command wouldn’t be fair either so DON’T DO IT.

Or at least, if you do, make sure you let me know how it works so I can continue to post about more effective things you shouldn’t be not doing. :)
