I thank John McWhirter for his permission to use this process.

Is there something that you gave up on in the past, and decided that it was beyond you? It might be something you were learning; or a relationship that you couldn’t manage; or a desire that you abandoned. Does it still niggle? Do you find yourself returning to it more often than rationally it merits? Do you suspect you could have done something differently?

Or else you might be experiencing a situation which is happening now, which has left you stuck and without any new ideas.

Now might be the time to re-open the investigation – if just to give you insight should a similar situation present itself.

Here are some ways you may like to re-view and re-consider your situation. Your block may be lying in HOW you have been organising your thinking.

1. First of all gain some clarity about what you think the IT is. You may have an image which sums it up, or something you are telling yourself, or just a familiar feeling which you have labelled.

2. Take a moment and think:

• OF it
• ABOUT it
• AROUND it
• BESIDE it
• IN it
• THROUGH it
• THROUGHOUT it
• EXTENSIVELY THROUGHOUT it
• OUT it
• BEYOND it
• WAY BEYOND it
• BACK TO it
• OVERALL…

3. What have you now discovered? What has now been revealed?

4. What are the benefits of this?

5. What is the significance of this?

I would be delighted to hear from you regarding your experiences of this. Do email me on fran@nlpand.co.uk

All the best
