Negative Anchors
Ever find yourself in a relationship situation where you’re supposed to do something fun with the person you love but you just can’t seem to feel as good as you should about it? What might be at fault is that you’ve tied negative anchors to it.
I was listening to Tony Robbins, the motivational and personal power speaker, the other night. I was given some of his tapes back in high school, so needless to say they’re not in the best of shape – they’re all banged up and dust covered. I should also mention that I think these types of self-help, motivational speakers are only meant for certain people at certain stages of their life. Anyway, I dusted them off, dragged out my tape player and spun one up. He was talking about the concept of anchors. Lets say you go to a club one night and someone dumps a beer on your head. You go back the next week and the same thing happens. It might only take one bad time or a few, but eventually you’ll associate going to a bar with having a bad time – and barley-and-hops-scented shampoo. If you find yourself in a situation like this – where you feel negatively about a situation that you shouldn’t or don’t want to feel that way about – you can reprogram yourself! If you really want something to change your behavior, you can. And you can do it quickly! The point is that if you see something that is hurting your relationship or could cripple future relationships, there might be a way to stop it before your life suffers.
