A branch of psychology called neurolinguistic programming has made an interestin

         Abranch of psychology called neurolinguistic programming has made an interestingand useful discovery :You can change the way you imagine or remember thingswithout changing what you imagine, and it will change your feelings．For example, if a visual memorymakes you sad whenever you think about it, you can make that mental picturesmaller and dimmer, and when you do, the memory won’t make you as sad．Since you haven’t changed thecontent of the memory, you haven’t lost any information．You have simply made it lesspainful．

         Whenyou visually remember a pleasant memory, you can made the picture more colorfuland the money will give you even more intense good feelings．You can make your pictures ofthe future brighter, wider , deeper, or you can bring the images closer．Changes like these will makeyou feel different--- even when you leave the content of the picture the same．

         Theseare general guidelies （ 指导方针 ）．You’ll need to experiment for yourself to find out what will workfor a particular image．For a few people, making an exciting picture brighter makes thefeelings less intense．And for some kinds of pictures, increasing the brightness wouldcause the feelings to become less intense --- for example, a romantic memory．

         Whatis true for visual images also applies to the way you talk to yourself．

         Forexample, if you have trouble motivating yourself , try changing the tone ofvoice you use when you spread to yourself．Some people order themselves about ．The voice they use to talk to themselves is harshand commanding．Listeningto yourself being bossy can have the same effect as listening to someone elsebeing bossy: It can make you want to rebel．Change your tone to friendly or seductive, and you might feel moremotivated ．When youtell yourself, “I can do it,” fill your internal voice with enthusiasm and backit up with inspiring music．The possibilities are in fact endless．

         Theimportant thing to understand is that they way you code your inner world has animpact , and you have quite a bit of control over that coding．You can change it deliberately．When you do , it will changeyour feelings, which change your actions, which will change the world aroundyou．．
