First and foremost, you need to know what NLP anchoring is. NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is your automatic response to stimuli. NLP is similar to classical conditioning that is taught in many psychology classes. Anchors are just one of the tools in NLP and are used to hold a feeling or reaction in place.
The anchors are the stimuli that bring about a certain response or reaction, either positive or negative. Fidgeting when nervous is one such example. Almost anything can be an anchor - advertisers use this all the time to influence us - the difference with the NLP version is that it's a deliberate thing that you (or someone else) has done.
Maybe you do not know why you react the way you do to certain situations, then again, maybe you do. All of us have memories and feelings associated with those memories. Of course, they are not all good; but, they are not all bad either. The goal of NLP Anchoring is learning new associations with stimuli.
What if you cannot focus on anything at all much less anything good when you are in this state? Well then let's try something else.
While you are in a good mood, touch the palm of your hand, or something like that. While touching the palm of your hand think of a pleasant memory. Repeat this until every time you touch the palm of your hand, you feel happy. There is your anchor to bring you to a happy state of mind when you are not so happy.
What about knowing that a certain situation or person is going to make you experience unwelcomed feelings? NLP Anchoring addresses this issue as well. Identify the situation or person, when the undesirable feelings appear, think of a time when you had good feelings. Keep doing this until you are able to think of the person, place or thing without experiencing the bad feelings. - 29161
