Throughout our lives, we unconsciously anchor many things in our mind. Whether it is our mother's cooking and the aroma that fills the room or the sound of the ice cream truck, when we smell or hear things, we are often brought back into the memory of the smell or sound.
Knowing how the mind work, we can utilize anchoring to help us feel good and accomplish things that we may otherwise feel uncomfortable doing. The most simple case would be speaking in front of a large crowd. When utilizing anchoring in this case, we are able to bring ourselves back to the time where we were more confident or whatever resource it is we need, and arm with this memory, we can go further in our presentation.
How To Anchor Oneself
Keeping with the fear of speaking in front of a large crowd, we will go ahead and think, what is it we will need, what inner resources that we will need to be able to speak in front of a large crowd.
Once one finds that inner resource that is required, one may close their eyes and begin to allow the mind to wander off into a memory where they had this resource in the past. Keep building up memories, or even staying with the same one but making sure that one is fully associated within the memory.
Once the person feels they are at the peak of the memory, full embodied into the memory, they should anchor themselves by either putting together two fingers or touching somewhere on their body that they wouldn't often touch, like an ear lobe.
After anchoring the memory, one should try it out later and see if it works. If not, one should sit down and go over the process and perhaps finding a stronger memory or piling it with other resources.
Having this technique is useful in many situation and eventually, one would be very comfortable to do what it is they want to do without even anchoring.
