creating an anchor

creating a new anchor is not as hard as it seems to be, in order to create an anchor you just need to repeat doing the same thing while having the other thing you want to anchor present, for example suppose you downloaded a new song that you didn't listen to yet, instead of hearing it over and over just keep it aside, and only listen to it when you feel that you are happy or very happy, this may take you some time but in the end the anchor will be developed, and now you can listen to the song while feeling normal and you will be surprised to find yourself feeling happy few minutes later ,this is because the feeling of happiness were anchored to the song.

does anchors last forever?

if anchors were permanent no one would have been sad, but as we said before the anchor becomes week as long as its not strengthened.

if you kept on hearing the song whenever feeling sad you will end up anchoring sadness to the song, in order to prevent this from happening you must make sure that you are strengthening the anchor more than you are using it up, think of the anchor as a resource which can be depleted, but still can be recharged , don't deplete it all without giving it enough charging.

anchors for quitting smoking

for people wanting to quit smoking they can anchor the act of holding the cigarette to any bad feeling and so get less motivated to smoke.

there was once a company that made the smoking area made of galss and centralized its lace in the company so that whenever someone passes by he watches the people who are inside the glass room smoking, few weeks later the number of smokers were reduced!!

guess what, the bad feelings of being watched that way through the glass like test subjects was anchored to smoking and so people got less motivated to smoke.
