How can we control our state?
We all know that our minds and bodies are linked (have you ever woken from a nightmare with a cold sweat and your heart racing?), and we can use this two way link to stay in control.
Here is a clip from my ‘NLP for Sporting Excellence’ training course which tells you more about how you can use these naturally occuring patterns at will to help you perform at your best everytime you want to. It also gives a demostration of how to set up your own physiological anchor.
