As a certified hypnotherapist, I have seen firsthand the transformative power of positive anchors. These are specific triggers that evoke a desired emotional state, helping us navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and resilience.

Positive anchors are stimuli that we associate with a particular positive emotion or state of mind. These can be anything from a specific touch, a word, a sound, or even a smell. By consciously creating and reinforcing these anchors, we can access positive emotions and states of mind whenever we need them.
The Process of Creating Positive Anchors

Experience the Desired State: Close your eyes and vividly imagine a time when you felt the desired emotion. Engage all your senses to make the experience as real as possible.
Activate the Anchor: While fully immersed in the positive emotion, activate your chosen anchor. For example, if your anchor is a word, say it out loud. If it’s a gesture, perform it.
Reinforce the Anchor: Repeat this process several times a day and night to suggest to your subconscious mind that this become an automatic behavior, this is to strengthen the association between the anchor and the desired state. The more you practice, the stronger the anchor will become.
