This very powerful technique can be used to help clients with any kind of goal or

outcome that they want to achieve. For example, weight loss, stopping smoking,
overcoming fears, phobias, passing a driving test or exam, even healing.
1. Create an image of what your life will be like at some point in the future when you
have achieved your goal/outcome.
2. Mark 2 pieces of paper on the floor one that represents today and one for a time
in the future when you will have achieved your outcome. The distance (time) between
the two spots should be what feels right. Stand on the future spot and imagine what it
is like having achieved your goal. Imagine you have a remote control like the one you
use for your television. Use it to intensify the qualities of your internal imagery and
sound. Turn up the brightness, increase the colour, improve the contrast, make it bigger
and bring it closer. Turn up the volume and listen to the sounds. Have the sound tuned
so that there is no interference. Step into the picture and notice the feelings of
satisfaction and achievement. Enjoy the moment and anchor this state. (Set an Anchor
kinaesthetic, auditory visual, Anchoring technique is explained later in the course)
3. Lay the cards at equal intervals between where you are standing now (future) and
the spot representing today.
4. Stand at a spot just beyond the future spot and look back at today Fire the
anchor you set earlier, how does it feel, having achieved your outcome(s)? From this
position what have you got to say to the you of today? Have you any tips or advice?
5. Move to the Identity card, ask yourself how you have changed, now that you have
achieved your outcomes. What is different about you? What role are you now playing
that you were not playing before?
6. Move to the Values & Beliefs card. What values have you changed, if any, and
how have your beliefs changed in order to achieve success?
7. Move to the Capability spot. How have your capabilities changed? What did you
learn along the way?
8. Move to the Behaviour card. What did you do along the way? What are you doing
differently now?

9. Move on to the Environment card. What impact has achieving your outcome(s)
had on those around you? Is your environment still the same or has it changed at all? If
so, how?
10. Revisit the cards in any order you wish if you feel that there is still work to do.
You will know when you have true alignment as you will have a burning desire to make
your first move towards achieving your goal.
This exercise can be done mentally after a short induction and deepener. Spacing the
cards out on the floor is another way of doing the technique and can also be a very
powerful way of (programming in) the changes you want to make and can sometimes
give you a better concept of time that it will take.
