Hello,

This is my first post as I only started reading the game last night. I am by no means a PUA (yet!) but I have done some NLP. I have used the following technique at interviews. I was always really nervous at them but now I actually enjoy it (as long as it isn't an angry Germany lady, as my last interview was). It is based on physiologist Ivan Pavlov experiments he did with his dog (no it's not what some people are thinking). He rang a bell every time his dog ate, after a while he only needed to ring the bell and the dog would produce saliva. You can apply the same theory to produce confidence on comand.

The Technique

1. Find a quiet place where you can relax. Close you eyes, relax so you can feel a tingling sensation in your feet. Take a deep breath and as you do bring the tingling up to your knees. Imagine you calf drooping down with gravity. Take another deep breath and take the tingling up to your bum. Repeat this and take the feeling up to your shoulders, then down your arms and finaly into your head. Imagining all the time that your muscles are drooping down becuase they are so relaxed.

2. Think back to the time in your life when you most felt confident. (If you carn't think of a time when you want to be confident eg when sarging). Notice how good you feel, remenber what people said to you, remember the colours, the sounds, the smells. Notice every single details

3. Intensify the felling, double it, then double it again. Make all the colours brighter and more intense. Increase the volume. Make every details amazing.

4. When you feel at your most confident, squeeze you thumb and middle finger together and hold it there for a few seconds(doesn't matter which hand, but I do it with the weakest hand, as I will probably be holding something in my strongest hand)

5. Repeat steps 2-4 at least 5 times untill. You should be able to squeeze you fingers together and feel confident. If this doesn't work after 5 times of doing it, keep on doing the excerise until it does work.

Hope this helps, I am going sarging tomorrow for the first time and so will very probably be using it then.

ps
sorry for any newbie mistakes

Sorry, I didn't explain the last bit.

When you are sarging or you need to feel confident, just squeeze your fingers togehter

Good technique. Its probably going to take quite a few times to get it to sink into your subconcious, so I would defintely do it more than once.
