pastac4 This technique for accelerated learning allows you to make any new action or skill automatic in your behavior. It is useful anytime you want to have more choices, learn a new skill or model an expert.

1. Imagine looking off a little to your right, and see yourself in front of you.

2. Decide what you would like to learn how to do. It may be acting in a more satisfying way in a current situation or it may be doing something new. How would that other you look if that other you could already do it? Construct a movie of that other you doing it.

If the movie is incomplete, that other you can pretend "as if" he/she were able to handle situations like that easily. Now watch as the movie fills in any missing parts. If you need more information, seek a skilled role model, live or taped. Carefully observe and listen as the role model performs the desired behavior. Have that role model transform into the "real" you doing it. Watch as the role model turns into that other you doing the new behavior in the desired situation or location.

3. See and hear that other you doing the new behavior in the desired situation or location.

4. Is what you see and hear what you want? Is that satisfactory to you?

5. If something is missing, or the experience doesn't look or sound satisfying or appropriate, adjust it until it is a full and satisfying experience. You can do this by deliberately making the changes you want. Or you can let a fog or mist conceal the movie while your unconscious mind makes the adjustments and clears the fog when it's adjusted appropriately.

6. Step into the beginning of your movie and live through it in the desired situation, having all the sensations and feelings.

7. Discover if anything is missing from the experience. If it is a full, satisfying and desirable experience, skip ahead to step 9.

8. If something is missing, or the experience is not satisfying or appropriate, step out of the image, and adjust it according to the feedback from steps 6 and 7, until it is a full, satisfying and desirable experience. You can do this by deliberately making the changes you want. Or you can let a fog or mist conceal the movie while your unconscious mind makes the adjustments and clears when it's adjusted appropriately.

9. When is the next time you're likely to encounter a situation in which you might exhibit the old behavior? Give yourself a "dress rehearsal" now of actually having the new behavior in that situation. Do this for several different future situations.
