Use Acting Techniques For Success In Any Area of Your Life - Part Two

Can you use acting techniques to change your life, create new behaviors and get results you have never experienced before in your previous efforts?

The answer is yes. NLP practitioners have discovered that the results, actions and behaviors you produce are a direct result of the "state"you are in. This is why the same football team can play one half of a game as if they were completely inept and had never been on a football field before in their lives. And then they can come out in the second half and play like they were the greatest team ever to put on shoulder pads.

The reason this occurs is that the players were in an unresourceful, unconfident state in the first half; and a very positive, very resourceful state in the second half.

Quite simply, if you find yourself trying to do something, but your results are not what you desire, all you have to do is change your state and then your results will change.

Now I can hear you saying, "okay, but how do I change my state?"

Here is one way. Simply observe someone who produces the results you want. Or recall a time when you produced the results you are trying to produce now (For example, if you are playing a horrible game of golf today, recall a day you played an excellent game of golf). Or you can even imagine what it would fell like to be producing the results you want.

In each of these cases, you are either observing, recalling or constructing a positive and resourceful state. Now act out that state in the present moment. Use your imagination, your observations and your memories to build a "character" you want to play, right now.

In part one of this series, I described the actor, Forest Whitaker, and how he prepared to play the part of the ruthless dictator, Idi Amin, in the movie The Last King of Scotland. He learned the Swahili language, traveled all over Uganda and interviewed dozens of people who knew Amin. Even when the movie was being filmed, he stayed in character when the cameras were not rolling so he wouldn't lose the mental image of Idi Amin that he had created in his mind.

You probably don't have to go to these extremes for the character you are wanting to create, but it should give you an idea of the lengths some actors go through to play their parts.

The effect is that when you walk up to the next hole in golf, or go into the next job interview, or call on your next customer, you are more than yourself. You have created a part that is changing your state, and will as a result, change your behaviors and actions.

How does acting change your state and consequently change your actions? Because you already have enough information in your mind to produce those actions already. All too often we spend our time trying to learn more facts or techniques, when we simply need to put what we already know into practice.

If you've been golfing for any length of time, you've already learned how to hold your club, how to stand and all the other little techniques that go with perfecting the game of golf. But changing your state enables you to put all of those techniques into one complete set of behaviors. By acting "as if" you are already the consumate golfer you want to be, you mind puts all those facts and techniques together and produces the results you want.

We aren't done yet. In the next article, we will discuss more about how to create your character or role in such a way that it will create a new state for you to operate in.

Just a few years after attempting suicide, Charles Brown has learned to literally "re-wire" and "re-program" his brain to achieve success in everything he attempts. He now teaches others how to use neuro-linquistic programming (NLP), subliminal technology, self hypnosis, and other methods to make major changes in their lives. He is the author of the free downloadable ebook, The Science of Change: How To Re-Program Your Mind and Transform Your Life.
