NLP (overview)

NLP looks at language and mental imagery to influence state and behaviour. Evidence is mixed; treat it as optional tools.

Anchoring

Pair a helpful state (calm/confident) with a gesture or word. Rehearse it, then use it before stress moments.

From “I can’t” to “I haven’t yet”. From “I must” to “I choose to”. Lowers pressure and increases choice.

Rehearse a small win in detail (senses, timing). Then do the first action while breathing slowly.
