Have you ever felt anxious, depressed, nervous, or angry? Or feeling low on self confidence and self esteem? One of the questions I get asked a lot by my clients (and friends too) is how to build self confidence and start to feel good about life.

Before we get into details, the first thing I ant to say is that no matter how bad you feel, or what negative emotions you are experiencing, if you use the techniques I am going to share below, you will definitely notice a very positive change - these self help techniques really do work.

Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques can empower you to overcome all sorts of negative and dysfunctional emotions, and easily turn them into something much more positive. It's pretty much like having a "happy button" that can take effect within just a few seconds.

Don't be misled - knowledge is not power.

I'm sure you're heard the phrase "knowledge is power" before - but that's not really true. Even though these techniques are highly effective and will work every time - you must put this knowledge in to action - because the real power lies in taking action with your new fond knowledge.

Let's get started with some Magic Hats.

The whole process you are going to discover here can be broken in to 5 simple steps - these steps are known as The Magic Hats Program. They are very distinctive and highly effective.

Step 1. Self Hypnosis. This is the real secret to personal development and the Magic Hats program. Here you'll discover the secret to deep relaxation and how you can start to feel on-top-of-the-world literally within a few minutes.

Step 2. Modalities. Your modalities are the way you think - or the way your brain operates. Do you remember looking at an old photograph and all the memories you associated with it came flooding back. Your brain uses your senses to recall past memories.

Step 3. Swish Patterns. Using the Swish Technique you can quickly and easily change from a state of sadness or frustration to a state of happiness or self confidence. It's a simple technique we can use to move away from feeling bad and towards feeling good.

Step 4. Anchors. We use anchors to store and recall positive emotions and experiences that make us feel good. An anchor can be a word or phrase, or an old photo, or a familiar smell or. Anything that triggers stored memories.

Step 5. Being aware of how your mind operates. Most people have no idea or understanding of how they operate or how their mind controls them. Here you take control of your mind and you start to call the shots as to how you function and how you feel about things.

So first we need to relax.

Most people hardly ever relax - even when they're asleep, they're still tense and under stress. Our bodies operate and function best when we are relaxed. We can think more clearly, we feel better, and are much more fun to be around. So the first and most vital lesson is learning how to fully relax - and you'll be amazed at how easy it is.

First, find your self a secluded spot with a comfortable chair where you won't be disturbed. Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor and the base of your spine pushed back into the base of the chair. OK, let's begin.

1. Take one hand and place it on your stomach about where your belly button is.

2. Take a deep breath in and push out your stomach muscles allowing your lungs to start expanding into your stomach area - this helps fill your lungs from the bottom allowing you to get much more air into them. Continue to inhale filling the top of your lungs as well. When you can't breathe in anymore, hold your breath for a slow count of 6.By holding your breath, you ensure your lungs can extract the maximum amount of oxygen from the air and get it into your bloodstream.

3. Now breathe out slowly for a count of 6 and suck in your stomach muscles as far as you can at the same time. This helps expel the maximum amount of air from your lungs ready for the next deep breath in. Once you have exhaled, hold your breathe for another slow count of 6.

4. Do it all over again and repeat for between 6 and 12 times.

So the process is:
Push out stomach and breathe in - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6;
Hold breath - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6;
Suck in stomach and breathe out - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6;
Hold breath - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6;
Repeat 6 - 12 times.

You may start to feel a bit dizzy or light headed while your doing this, or once you've finished. Don't worry as it's completely natural - just sit still for a few seconds and the feeling will pass. The reason is that you are now very relaxed and your blood is very well oxygenated. The light headedness is due to the increased amount of oxygen getting to your brain (which is a good thing).
