This is the basis of Tony Robbins\u2019 change your state method. <strong>Learning<\/strong> <strong>how to control your <\/strong><strong><em>focus and physiology <\/em><\/strong><strong>empowers you to manage your <\/strong><strong><em>state<\/em><\/strong><strong>, which enables you to feel whatever <\/strong><strong><em>emotions<\/em><\/strong><strong> you want, whenever you want.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Since your emotions impact your actions, controlling your emotional state empowers you to promote the behaviors you want to sustain to improve your life. <\/strong>For instance, remaining calm in a situation that would have previously made you angry enables you to make clear-headed, constructive decisions instead of reactive, potentially damaging ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, you\u2019ll learn more about Tony Robbins\u2019 change your state method. Using this, you can always feel the way you want by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Using your body&nbsp;<\/li><li>Directing your focus&nbsp;<\/li><li>Discovering how certain physical sensations (such as sight and sound) affect your state and learning how to manipulate them&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn how to control our mental-emotional-physiological states, we need to explore the factors that influence our states in the first place. As mentioned, <strong>your physiology\u2014your posture, facial expressions, breathing, and gestures\u2014and the things you focus on both determine your state.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people develop physiological and mental patterns that consistently produce the same states. For example, if you have a habit of hanging your head down and dwelling on thoughts about your failures, you will habitually feel disheartened and depressed; as we know from our discussion of how habits are wired into the brain, the neural pathways for these postures, thoughts, and emotions become well-trodden, reinforcing the patterns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing these patterns creates two consequences:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You only experience a handful of emotions in your day-to-day life, which means that you miss out on a rich spectrum of emotional experiences.&nbsp;<\/li><li>If the patterns are disempowering, you are habitually in negative states.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s explore Tony Robbins\u2019 change your state method, and how to break out of negative patterns by changing your physiology and your focus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#1: Change Your Body<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First, develop patterns of physical states and movements that support a happy, powerful, strong emotional state. <\/strong>For example, if you\u2019re standing tall and breathing deeply, you\u2019ll feel more confident than if you have your shoulders slumped and your eyes down.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started, try this exercise for the next seven days: Five times a day, spend one minute giving yourself a huge smile in the mirror. Each time you do, your smile will strengthen your neural pathway for happiness. Go a step further by also making yourself laugh three times a day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#2: Change Your Focus<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to adopting empowering physical patterns, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/make-a-habit\/\">make a habit<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-focus-on-the-positive\/\">focusing on the positive<\/a> aspects of your experiences. Your focus dictates how you view reality: <strong>Whatever you choose to focus on determines how you experience things and what emotions you feel. <\/strong>Therefore, if you focus on negative things, such as sad memories or future problems, you\u2019ll <em>feel<\/em> negative, too. But, if you focus on positive things\u2014like happy memories, or the good things about your present situation\u2014you\u2019ll feel positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of your focus as a camera lens and reality as a party: Your camera can only capture one small piece of the whole scene. If the camera focuses on a couple arguing at the party, it gives the impression that the party is full of conflict, but if you focus on a group of friends dancing and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/advantages-of-laughing\/\">laughing<\/a>, it makes it seem like the party is fun and lively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your focus not only affects your interpretation of events, but also impacts your ability to overcome challenges. <strong>When you focus on the outcome you want, you will move toward it and increase your chances of reaching it. <\/strong>By contrast, when you focus on a problem or something that you\u2019re afraid <em>could<\/em> happen, you\u2019re more likely to manifest it\u2014and if it comes to fruition, you\u2019ll have wasted your time worrying about the potential <em>problem<\/em> instead of coming up with a potential <em>solution<\/em>.<strong> <\/strong>Similarly, when you\u2019re driving a car, you subconsciously turn the steering wheel toward whatever you focus on, whether that\u2019s the road ahead or the guard rail. <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know the positive effects of shifting your focus, let\u2019s discuss several strategies for doing so. First, we\u2019ll explore how to change your focus by manipulating the way you interpret your physical sensations. Then, in the next two chapters, we\u2019ll talk about how to direct your focus through language\u2014specifically, the questions you ask yourself and the words and metaphors you habitually use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be Aware of How Your Sensations Affect Your State<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The power of focus isn\u2019t just about <em>what<\/em> you focus on, but also <em>how<\/em> you focus using your different senses. You experience everything through your five senses, but sight, sound, or touch impact some people\u2019s emotional experiences more strongly than others. Whichever sense is most influential for you is your modality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The details within each modality\u2014such as brightness for a visual modality or loudness for an auditory modality\u2014are called submodalities. <strong>You have unique positive or negative associations with various submodalities, <\/strong>and when those submodalities are present, <strong>they make you perceive that experience more positively or negatively<\/strong>; in other words, if you have positive associations with brightness, you\u2019ll feel more positively about a meeting in a well-lit conference room than a dim one. <strong>You can manipulate your submodalities to positively alter your feelings about your experiences.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you have an auditory modality and you envision a stressful work meeting you had this morning, submodalities such as the speed at which you recall people talking and the pitches of their voices impact the emotions tied to that memory. (This doesn\u2019t just apply to memories but also to future experiences that you\u2019re anticipating.) As we\u2019ll explain, you can replay a version of that memory that alters those submodalities, thereby changing your feelings about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let\u2019s talk about how to identify your dominant modality. Then we\u2019ll discuss how to manipulate your submodalities to alter your feelings about an experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Determine Your Dominant Modality<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in using your modality to influence your emotions is to actually identify what your modality <em>is<\/em>. Become attuned to which modalities are most powerful for you so that you can understand how they\u2019re affecting your experiences and learn how to manipulate your submodalities to achieve the outcomes you want.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you have a visual modality, the intensity of your experience will be affected by submodalities such as brightness, color, distance, movement, and size.<\/strong> Additionally, you may say things like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Picture the outcome.&nbsp;<\/li><li>That brightens my day.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Let\u2019s put it in perspective.&nbsp;<\/li><li>You\u2019re not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-look-at-the-bigger-picture\/\">looking at the big picture<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li><li>The answer is staring you in the face.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you have an auditory modality, the intensity of your experience will be affected by submodalities such as pitch, tempo, tonality, and volume. <\/strong>You may use phrases like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I\u2019m tuning that out.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Your message is loud and clear.&nbsp;<\/li><li>This sounds great.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Progress came to a screeching halt.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Listen to your intuition.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: <strong>If you have a kinesthetic modality, the intensity of your experience will be affected by submodalities such as balance, pressure, temperature, texture, and weight.<\/strong>) You may use phrases like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It\u2019s weighing heavily on me.&nbsp;<\/li><li>The pressure is really on.&nbsp;<\/li><li>I\u2019m carrying a heavy load.&nbsp;<\/li><li>He\u2019s totally immersed in his work.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Apply It: Map and Manipulate Your Submodalities<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know which modality is most powerful for you, <strong>determine how the submodalities affect you, and then adjust them strategically to alter your feelings about an experience. <\/strong>Changing your emotions about an experience could change your ability to take action, enabling you to make measurable improvements in your life. For example, if you have chores to do and a visual modality, build your motivation by envisioning a bright, vibrantly colored image of you completing those tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, use this exercise to create a identify which submodalities resonate most with you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Write down a happy memory from your life, and rate your enjoyment in that memory on a scale of 0 (not enjoyable) to 100 (the best experience ever).&nbsp;<\/li><li>Check your memory against each of the modalities and submodalities below, and determine which ones describe your memory. For example, do you envision your memory as a still frame or a moving image? Are the sounds in your memory loud or soft?<\/li><li>Switch your memory to the opposite submodality. For example, if your memory was a moving scene, try thinking of it as a snapshot.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>While your memory is in this different state, notice how it makes you feel.<\/strong> Rate how much enjoyment this version of the memory gives you, on a scale of 0 to 100.<\/li><li>Compare your new enjoyment rating with your original one.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Revert your memory back to its original version.<\/li><li>Repeat the process with the next submodality.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Visual submodalities include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Bigger, smaller, or actual size&nbsp;<\/li><li>Bright, dim, or dark<\/li><li>Color or black-and-white<\/li><li>Still frame or movie<\/li><li>Two-dimensional or three-dimensional&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Auditory submodalities include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fast or slow tempo&nbsp;<\/li><li>Harmonious or cacophonous&nbsp;<\/li><li>Loud or soft&nbsp;<\/li><li>Regular or irregular sound&nbsp;<\/li><li>Your voice or someone else\u2019s voice<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Kinesthetic submodalities include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Heavy or light weight<\/li><li>Hot or cold temperature change&nbsp;<\/li><li>Increase or decrease in pressure&nbsp;<\/li><li>Rigid or flexible<\/li><li>Vibration or still<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve run your memory through the various submodalities and noticed which changes raised or lowered your enjoyment,<strong> you\u2019ll know how different submodalities affect you. Next, use this knowledge to change your emotions and, by extension, behavior.<\/strong> For instance, if you discover that turning your memory from fast-paced to a slow tempo raises your enjoyment, then when you think of a task you\u2019ve been avoiding, imagine yourself doing it in slow motion. This will cause you to associate more pleasure with the prospect of doing the task, which will make you more likely to complete it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ask Yourself Strategic Questions to Overcome Challenges<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another aspect of Tony Robbins\u2019 change your state method is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-ask-the-right-questions\/\">asking the right questions<\/a>. It\u2019s one thing to ask yourself empowering questions under normal circumstances, but it can be difficult to keep that mindset when you\u2019re facing challenges. However, <strong>the questions you ask yourself when you come up against obstacles are critical to helping you overcome those challenges. <\/strong>Consider these five questions any time you\u2019re dealing with a problem:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>What\u2019s good about this problem? <\/strong>This question shifts your mindset from being upset about the problem to focusing on what you can learn and gain from it. For example, if you\u2019re busy and exhausted and feel overwhelmed by the dozens of phone calls you have to make, you could find good in the fact that you have such a robust network that there are so many people who want and need to talk to you.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>What still needs improvement? <\/strong>This question looks for ways to solve the problem. Additionally, the wording presupposes that improvement is imminent and the situation <em>will<\/em> improve. For example, you may realize that you need to change your schedule and build in more time to rest and recharge so that you don\u2019t feel overwhelmed again.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>What am I willing to do to improve the situation? <\/strong>This question seeks specific actions that lead to resolution. For example, you may decide that you\u2019re willing to make more space in your schedule by saying \u201cno\u201d to more commitments.<\/li><li><strong>What am I willing to stop doing to improve the situation? <\/strong>Since making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/switch-by-chip-and-dan-heath\/\">lasting change<\/a> requires starting a new behavior and ending an old, harmful behavior, this question aims to identify which disempowering habits you need to stop in order to reach a resolution. For example, you may commit to no longer agreeing to every invitation you get and you may also decide you\u2019ll no longer complain about your schedule when you have the power to control it.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>How can I enjoy the resolution process? <\/strong>Now that you\u2019ve identified what the problem is and how you\u2019ll tackle it, this question helps find pleasure in fixing it, which will ensure that you actually follow through. Additionally, when you answer this question, you may realize that you have resources that you had previously overlooked. In this way, questions influence what you believe is possible and, therefore, what you do to make that possibility a reality. For example, you may decide to make your phone calls from the Jacuzzi in your backyard, which will enable you to relax while being productive. The Jacuzzi is a resource that you\u2019ve had the whole time, but you weren\u2019t in the mindset to recognize it when you were feeling upset and overwhelmed.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides questions that work toward a solution, you can also ask empowering questions that simply put you in a more positive state of mind, such as \u201cWhat am I (or could I be) happy about in my life?\u201d and \u201cWhat can I learn from this problem?\u201d <strong>When you\u2019re in a more empowered state, you\u2019ll be better able to identify resources and come up with a solution.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, questions aren\u2019t magic spells that effortlessly produce answers\u2014merely reciting the words may not be enough. When you ask yourself questions, ask with the certainty that you\u2019ll come up with an answer. You may even have to ask repeatedly; as long as you maintain confidence and conviction that you\u2019ll find the answer, the question will keep your mindset on track as you search for a solution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exercise: Control Your State<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Brainstorm actions you can take to change your state anytime you want.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>List all of the emotions you experienced today, and the situations that triggered those emotions.&nbsp;<\/li><li>List an emotion you\u2019d like to regularly experience that you didn\u2019t today.&nbsp;<\/li><li>What kinds of postures, gestures, and other physical means can you use to bring on the emotion you want to incorporate into your daily life?
