The following strategy demonstrates how the various elements of imagination, expectation, criteria, sub-modalities, and associations can be combined into a simple strategy to help people better inspire and motivate themselves to take actions that will lead them to desired outcomes.

Step 1: Imagine enjoying a key achievement. #

Imagine that you have achieved one of your greatest dreams in life. Imagine yourself fully enjoying it. Experience the sights, sounds, and feelings of this enjoyment.

Step 2: Enhance and anchor the state as a pleasure motivation state. #

Amplify the compelling and motivational aspects of this experience. Do this by adjusting sub-modalities such as brightness and size. This is a pleasure motivation state.  Anchor it.

Step 3: Future Pace with this state. #

Carry these feelings into imagining yourself taking steps that will actually move you toward your dream outcome. Trigger your anchor for the pleasure motivation state to enhance this state.

Step 4: Test. #

In the coming days and weeks, notice if you find it easier to take steps toward this or other dreams or desired outcomes.
