Try This NLP Technique to Eliminate a Negative Thought or Behavior

The Swish Technique

The Swish technique enables us to quickly dissolve the feelings attached to unwanted thoughts and to deal with negative responses. 

In the Swish we replace the unwanted thought or response with a more useful and appropriate one because the Swish re-directs thinking.  It is an instruction to the brain No, not that - THIS!!

Use it for yourself

This is a  technique for managing your own thinking and behaviors.  Each time you use the Swish you are training yourself to instantly re-direct your thinking from negative topics to more desirable ones.

By using the Swish in your own life you develop your ability to maintain positive thinking , manage your responses to stressful situations, and engage in the behaviors you want. 

How to use the Swish

1. Select a replacement image

First select your Replacement Feeling - ask yourself How do I want to be or feel instead. Create this image in your mind.

Select the Replacement Feeling ... see and hear a detached and associated (with you in it), version of yourself experiencing this feeling. It is quite important that this image is dissociated...meaning you are not in the experience but just observing it.  Enhance the detail and the quality of this using all your senses...how does it look, how does it feel, what sounds or smells or tastes are involved in this experience? Do this until the image is quite compelling and clear. 

2. Find the trigger for the unwanted mood

What is it that you respond to? How you know when to have the unwanted response or reaction?

Ask yourself What occurs just before this negative or un-wanted state begins?  This time, you want an associated image of what is going on immediately before you engage in the unwanted activity.

3. Put the replacement in the corner of unwanted image

Imagine a small postage-stamp sized version of your replacement picture in the bottom corner of the unwanted picture.

4. Swish the two images

Now you want to make both images change simultaneously and with increasing speed. Making the images change size and distance from you.

Have the 'negative' image become smaller and shoot off into the distance. At the same time have the 'positive' replacement image become larger and closer until it replaces the negative image completely. Imagine a "swish" sound as you do this - hence the name. That's one Swish sound.

(Do this  fairly slowly at first taking, say, 5-10 seconds to do it. Then continue, doing it a little faster each time, until you are swishing almost instantaneously - in less than a second!)

5 Clear your mind

After each Swish round blank your mind, fully! Think of something else or visualize your favorite color. Breathing easily as you do this since some people tend to hold their breath while concentrating on doing the Swish. It is crucial to the success of the Swish to clear your mind or turn your attention outside before you do each next round.

6 Practice 5-7 times

Repeat steps 3 to 5 up to about seven times until you have difficulty in maintaining the unwanted image.

"I don't visualize"

This is a common belief. You can do an Auditory or a Kinesthetic Swish, if you choose focusing on the sound or just the feeling. 

Alternately, and often more effectively, you can act 'as if' you are visualizing - i.e. you pretend that you visualizing and simply follow the steps listed above. Curiously, this will often work just as effectively!
