NLP Techniques For Education

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) involves studying thinking patterns, language, and behavior. Anchoring is an NLP technique where a stimulus like a sound or smell is linked to a specific emotional state so that state can be accessed at will. The document describes how to do an anchoring exercise by recalling a pleasant memory, then touching fingers to associate the feeling with the physical trigger. It also discusses how anchoring can help gain control of emotions and influence others, and how focusing on higher-level beliefs and values leads to more proactive behavior than just reacting to external changes.
