what is an anchor?

anchoring is one of NLP's famous concepts , an anchor is the condition in which two separate events get tied together in the person's mind so that when one of the events occur the second event is remembered or recalled automatically by his subconscious mind.an example of the anchor recalling process is you hear an old song that suddenly reminds you of a certain time at your past, in that case this piece of music was anchored or tied to a certain time at your past and so you remembered that time when you heard the musical peice.

how does an anchor develop?

the anchor develops when both of the two of the events happen together on a regular basis for a certain number of times. for example if every time you eat while watching television you may find yourself getting Hungary on watching television.

an overly sensitive person is more likely to develop an anchor faster than anyone else,if two people experienced something while one of them were overly sensitive , the overly sensitive person may develop an anchor faster than the other person. for example if two people work as field engineers in a minning company, the overwhelming work experience may be anchored to the work place in the overly sensitive person's mind and so he may find himself unable to continue work and he may even he quit, on the other hand the other person whom is not that sensitive to external conditions may find work tolerable. anchors are not a bad thing, they can be used to your side to enforce positive behaviour or to help you in quitting bad habits,for example you can create an anchor that generats bad feelings on starting to smoke,and that way you can help yourself to quit smoking just by using an anchor.

how to remove an anchor

if you have some bad anchors that you want to get rid of, its still possible, for example if you feel bad whenever you workout you can easily remove that anchor,remvoing an anchor can simply be done by repeating one of the evetns alone without the other event being prevent,by time your subconscious mind will separate both events and so the anchor will be removed.
