We divide by one and ourselves …

Your can change your state of mind or mood easily using the techniques of anchoring. This means you can, for example, stay calm and relaxed whatever other people are doing or however provoking they may be.
While NLP offers you techniques to create a desired anchor (see below), you are also already affected by anchors throughout your life and go into a good mood or a bad one … feel motivated to do one thing or to do another … feel confident and resourceful or the opposite. We are responding to anchors, but we may not know what they are. These anchors have been built up accidentally and some of them can be used in your favor even without knowing any techniques.
So it is worth investigating what resonates with you most. Very often this is connected to you preferred representational system (–> see VAKOG).
Being quite visual, pictures can work as an anchor (background pictures for your computer, a picture in your purse).
E.g. when I feel very tense and would like to get into some state of calmness and having a fresh mind, I like to remember an early morning hike on the Mount Batur in Bali (–> see Sunrise).
If you are (like I am) also a very auditory person, music playlist might help you to get into a desired state. I have playlists for all kinds of moods on my iPhone – one that helps me to be confident when I make a public appearance, one that gets me into a competitive mode when preparing for a tennis match, one to lift me up when I am down or one to calm me down when I am nervous.

NLP looks at the ways we experience the world through our sensory organs. These representational systems are called VAKOG. VAKOG stands for:
V visual seeing
A auditory hearing
K kinesthetic feeling
O olfactory smelling
G gustatory tasting
According to the NLP model, people use those five sensory channels with varying emphases. We each have a preferred way of representing the world to ourselves, a preferred representational system. E.g. some people are very visually oriented; information over the other channels have less impact.

Another piece of “How I met your mother” life philosophy (see –> Right place, right time) and another view on that life might get understood backwards, but needs to be lived forward (see –> Life is today). So both seems to be close to me …

Some life philosophy from “How I met your mother”. I like the idea that small causes may have large effects, so no step is too small to lead to a great result.
You could not remove a single grain of sand from its place without thereby … changing something throughout all parts of the immeasurable whole.
Johann Gottlieb Fichte

Your values are the things that you believe are important in the way you live and work. Values exist, whether you recognize them or not.
When the things you do and the way you behave match your values, life is usually smooth.
But when you don’t act in alignment with your personal values, it creates tension and can be a real source of unhappiness. On the other hand you might (consciously or unconsciously) judge other people in view of your own values and to overlook the fact that these need not be theirs…
This is why making a conscious effort to identify your values is so essential. Use the following list of common personal values to help you get started.
Of course not so easy when you are stuck in darkness or just been hit by fate. So for me that does not mean that one need to be positive all the time. Sadness or fear serve a purpose. However, we are not meant to remain stuck in such a state forever. This is when it becomes helpful to find out what your options are. And most of the times there is more than one option.
When someone tells me that I only have two alternatives to choose from (or that something is “without alternatives”), I get suspicious. This is rarely the case. Once I realize my options, the Dalai Lame (or Bruce Lee) come into play.
“Choose the positive. You have choice, you are master of your attitude, choose the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.”
Bruce Lee

“Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming” – imagine 1999 … the rise of the internet has just started. To get access to the world wide web you needed modems, that made strange noise and would take minutes until you can get started. Websites took ages to built up, let alone videos. To download one song of 3 minutes could easily take an hour. A lot of people expected the internet to “go away one day”. This is the background to watch David Bowie’s predictions of where this would go …
See the full interview below – from minute 7:00 you can witness a true visionary. Predicting the future of the internet, music and society.
“The potential of what the internet is going to do to society, both good and bad is unimaginable.”

The picture has been taken at Mt. Batur in Bali / Indonesia. Mt. Batur (known in Indonesia as Gunung Batur) is an active volcano, considered on of the most sacred mountains in Hinduism, and its peak is at 1717 metres. On the picture you can see majestic caldera lake reflecting the early sun-rays.
One of the most precious and emotional memories of my life – not only for the view, but in addition because of the journey it took to get to this picture. Getting up at around 1.30am for the 2-hour drive to the starting point of Toyabungkah village. Hiking up the mountain in darkness for another two hours to finally arrive at the summit. All this rewarded by the most beautiful and spiritual scenery possible.
Like this sunrise, many experiences in life only become really special and valuable by the efforts they required. Hopefully a consoling thought – when times are dark and the way is steep, there is a good chance that you get rewarded once you have gone through all this.
In loving memory of WV, who accompanied us on that memorable tour.
