Flexible Thinking You have the power over what you think about. You also have the power over how you think about what you think about.Your brain performs various functions, such as recalling, thinking, andimagining, in particular ways. Each of your five senses includes anumber of subcategories of informationsubmodalities. When youexperience or remember something joyful, painful, or frightening, youdo so in a unique way, using particular senses and their submodalities.By consciously changing the submodalities you use to rememberexperiences, you actually change your memories and assign themdifferent meanings. Time for Exercise: 30 minutes to one hour Properties Required: pen and paper Steps: Recallan extraordinary experience in which you felt joyous, happy, and fullof wonder. This can be any experience, anywhere, anytime.Identifyyour key submodalities for this type of experience. For example, if youare primarily visual, is the picture up close or far away? What coloris the background? Is the picture bright or dim? Is the picture blackand white or in color? Is the picture moving or still? Where in yourconsciousness is the picture located, for example, front and center,front lower right, behind your head, high up or low? Is the pictureassociated (as if you were right in the scene re-experiencing it) ordisassociated (as if you were watching a movie)? If you areprimarily auditory, is the sound loud or soft? Is it slow or fast? Isit continuous or interrupted? Which direction is the sound coming from?Is the sound stereo or monaural? Is it close or far away? Is itrhythmical or discordant? Do you hear music and/or talking? Is theexperience associated or disassociated? Is the sound inside or outsideyou? If you are primarily kinesthetic, do you notice weight,pressure, temperature, and/or movement? Does your skin feel tactilesensations? Do your muscles and internal organs feel sensations? Whereare these located? Do they fade in and out, or are they continuous? Howlong do they last? Where do they start and end if they move around?Recallany ordinary sexual experience. Dont pick one that was extraordinary(either great or awful). Identify your key submodalities for thisexperience as you did abovevisual, auditory, and kinesthetic details.Inyour imagination, deliberately change on sub-modality (visual,auditory, kinesthetic) at a time so that your inner experience for theordinary sexual encounter is perceived in the same way as the joyousexperience. For example, if the ordinary experience is primarily visualwith the picture fuzzy, far away, off to one side, fading in and out,black and white, but the joyous experience is clear, close up, centeredin your field of vision, and in color, deliberately change how you seethe ordinary experience. Make it clear, close up, centered, colorfuland so on. Notice how this changes your remembrance of the sexualexperience and your feelings about it.Comments: You can use this process to change your perceptions of not just sexual experiences but of any situation.
