Reflective Exercises
Awareness
Spend ten minutes a day for seven days sitting in silence. Allow yourself to feel, see, smell and hear your environment. Observe your mental chatter as you are doing this. Keep a journal for the seven days, list the observations that were made.
Responsibility
List all of your problems that you currently have in your life below.
Next to each problem, write what you can do write now to solve a part of the problem or fix it all together.
Fresh Eyes
Imagine for a moment, that your role model switched lives with you. She suddenly finds herself in your body, living your life. What would she think of your life? Your work? Your cleanliness? Your health? Your environment?
Run through this exercise below discussing how your role model might view your life
As a result of completing the above exercise, did you uncover anything that you want to change with your life?
Reframing
This method is a helpful method use to gently guide behavioural change. This NLP technique is more hypnotic than others, and as such goes to the clients unconscious mind.
Complete the following exercise for yourself below:
- Identify the pattern of behavior that you want to be changed.
- Establish communication with the part of you that is generating this behavior. You may want to ask yourself “Will the part of me that is generating the behavior of please communicate with me on a conscious level. (Be aware of any sensations and tingling within the body, as well as images or sounds that arise).
After you have established communication with the part generator the behavior, ask that part if it will clarify a ‘yes’ signal for you, as well as a ‘no’ signal. - Ask the part of you if it is happy to share why it is generating this behaviour with you. If the part of you answers with a ‘yes’, ask it politely to reveal the intention of the behaviour to you.
- Go within and creatively generate alternative solutions that may assist in satisfying the behavior. Gain feedback from the part of you that was generating the behavior that you want to change and ask that part of you if it is willing to consider any of the new behaviors.
- Ask the part of you if its ready to produce any of the positive behaviours created in step 4 and act on those behaviours when the intention comes up and needs to be fulfilled.
- Thank that part of you and ask for stillness/ silence.
- Go within and now check in with the other parts of yourself and see if any other part objects to this behavior. If not proceed with the proposed new behavior.

Think about a goal that you want to achieve, can you chunk this goal down into smaller pieces?
