Description

Set positive anchors part 2
Positive anchors have an effect on our subconscious, similar to a sign on the refrigerator, such an anchor brings the situation to our attention (whenever the right moment comes).
You can imagine this as if you stumble over the same carpet crease over and over again, being reminded to straighten the carpet. Always in the same place, where the crease is.
We can also bring such affirmations with pictures into our mind palace, for example when you get angry, then a very special picture appears in front of your (inner) eye, which will (or at least should) calm you down, small things that you link with something in your mind. For example, in case you lose your temper, then implement the image "take a deep breath" in your mind palace.
If life seems difficult to you, make an anchor with the slogan "The way is the goal", for example with the image of a small Buddha in front of your eyes.
If you have a lot of work and sometimes feel little energy, then set yourself an anchor in the future, such as the feeling of having "made it", so instead of an image connect an emotion as an anchor.
Or if you suffer from self-worth issues, then put an anchor on your positive sides, like this: I am valuable, even if I am not the best at every task, set yourself a positive emotion as an anchor in case you doubt yourself again.
Also, you can decorate the objects of everyday life with your favorite sayings or conscious guidelines, as an example I give the refrigerator on which you stick a picture of the figure you want.
Or why not have a tea or coffee mug made with one of your "wishes", or with a clever phrase (that impresses you). Or a cover for your cell phone made just for them, with a catchy slogan on it that might have an impact on you.
For my part, I put a small sticker on the inside of my apartment door on which I painted an exclamation point, it's to remind me not to lose my cool no matter what happens to me "outside".
Or make one of your passwords (on your cell phone or PC) as an anchor, like "in-the-rest-lies-the-power", or "always-smile", or even "the-way-is-the-goal", good is also "Buddha-said".
Anyway, anchors are a positive support on the way, which is known to be the goal!
The confusions of the ideas do not concern a wise man
