Law of Attraction Help: How to Reframe Memories Using NLP
As we have discussed in other articles, an important skill for anyone trying to use the law of attraction is the ability to be unaffected by others. But in previous discussions, we’ve focused on how to ignore things others say to you; however, this can be more difficult with the parts of them that reside in your imagination and mind, particularly if the memory of someone you no longer speak to bothers you.
Although a bit more negative than the methods people are used to with the law of attraction, one method I’ve used with great success to silence the voices, images, or feelings of others in my mind is “smurfing.” “, a method of NLP and related fields of psychotherapy. Basically, the idea is to make the image in your mind so ridiculous that you can no longer take it seriously.
So here’s how it works: You most likely have a horrible image in your mind of something horrible someone did or said to you that replays in your mind. Or more than likely you have a montage of images, sound clips, or videos of things, each with its own feeling and meaning, but tied together with greater meaning than any of the pieces. For example, after my last breakup, I had a series of images and videos running on a track that went like this: His words, “I’m just not happy,” make me angry and remind me how unhappy he is. He had been, but he had been trying to work with her on it; my anger that she broke up with me over the phone; my regret for silently accepting the breakup; my happiness for doing just that; her complaining about how my arthritis damages our relationship; pain she is gone; sore i stayed so long… so, loops. And every time she comes back, it increases the pain and the level of care she receives.
I point this out as an example to jump start your thoughts; your thoughts are probably different. The key is to consider something like this or even a simple memory like yesterday Joe yelled at me and hurt my feelings. Although, in this case, I caution you to keep in mind that the memory is actually bigger than the isolated incident of Joe yelling at you, this technique will still come in handy; however, if you can unpack the whole structure of what you’re doing, you can figure it out and stop when you run the pattern in the future and you can do more work on your thoughts if you see it as a whole (but this is also why sometimes it’s good to have a life coach to talk about these things!).
Anyway, smurfing works like this. You have to “provoke” that state, that is, think about the shitty memory or montage that you no longer want to feel bad about. Run it in your head at normal speed. Then pause the last frame and make them all silly: people can be anything you want, from a smurf to a stapler, the sillier the better. Next, jump into memory: It’s important that, as much as possible, you’re inside memory at this point (by which I mean you’re not looking at memory, you’re “in” memory, almost like you). revive him). Now run memory or montage backwards at half speed while playing silly music like circus music or a cartoon song or something that just makes you laugh.
If you did this right, you should find that you are enjoying yourself and the situation should decrease in intensity. However, if you really dig in, you will find that it is almost impossible to go back to the memory and feel how you did it before.
