We all know that in reality what we’re feeling is that we know that another year has passed and that another year less to fulfill those dreams that you’ve always had. We also know that you can decide to fulfill those dreams at anytime but the truth is there is a special feeling that goes along with new year, an anchor if you will, that can be put to good use.

I saw a lot of it in its negative aspect when I worked at the school for emotionally disturbed girls. A trigger can be *anything*; a look, word, gesture...and many times it was difficult to identify and therefore to "deprogram." We *are* constantly being programmed without even relizing it....that's a pretty scary thought! (Another good reason to spend time in silence?!) :-) There are phrases and jingles from my childhood that, when I hear them, I still associate with products. Repetition is very powerful programming. Thanks for a great article! Hi Amit,

You can, for example, create an anchor for happiness. Try this, think of a time when you were incredibly happy. Maybe it was when you think of your pet dog back home. As you think about him and you feel the strong intense feelings of joy, love and happiness, do something unique, maybe squeeze the middle of your index finger on your left hand with your thumb and index finger on your right hand. Stop and let go. Put your mind somewhere else for a moment. Now repeat it. Do this about 5 - 10 times and you will have a solid Anchor for the feeling of happiness. :) As for what you said about people being your anchors, that is very true and we do this all the time. I will do a follow up article on this soon and I will also talk about how you can collapse negative anchors.

The literal definition of an anchor is ‘it is a mechanical device that prevents a vessel from moving’ this vessel could be anything, you, an emotional state, something you have coveted and yearned or just any ordinary feeling…. To me it’s about stability….An anchor is something that makes you feel secure and safe. If you fasten yourself to your anchor (who or whatever it may be), you end up feeling protected and motivated to achieve what you set out to do…..some people find their anchors in their friends, parents, partners or a even a song like you mentioned especially when its about motivation…. A lot of people may also find it within themselves, maybe a feeling within them that pushes them and stimulates their mind, body and soul…. At times people act on impulse and in retrospect regret what they have done…however the basic realistaion of this (and the regret) prompts them to make amends and encourages them to change….at such time finding that trigger/anchor is ideal…. Ok I am sorry if I have completely gone off track. I am multi tasking – am at work on a conference call and writing at the same time. So apologies hon if I have completely lost the plot! Keep smiling sunshine. Lots of love, The one and only - Schumi XXXXX Hey Shona, this is indeed a very motivating article and its well timed (need I say why lol!)…thank you for this….
