Building resourceful states
1) Identify an excellent state.
What state would you would like to have available for your use, a state that would allow you to act from your full capabilities?
2) Imagine a circle on the floor.
Visually imagine that there's a circle in front of you on the floor and make sure that it is big enough for you to step into.
3) Fill up the circle with symbolic colours of the resourcefulness.
What colour would you like to use to symbolise the resource?
Notice how the qualities of the circle grow and develop and become richer for you in terms of their colour, texture, material, size, etc.
4) Fill the circle with the resource.
Have you ever had a time when you experienced that resource? As you recall that instance, stand outside the circle, and let the circle fill up with those qualities... qualities that you want to have available now and in the future.
If you need to, pretend that you have these qualities or copy them from someone else who does have them.
What do you see? Hear? Feel? What do you say to yourself?
How are you holding your body when you are experiencing these resources fully?
5) Step into the circle and make it a sphere.
Seeing yourself possessing all of these qualities and resources, now step into the circle and breathe them in fully.
Hear what you say to yourself, see what you look like and notice what you now feel.
Describe what you see, hear and feel as you amplify the state in your circle of excellence. Experience your thoughts and feelings fully.
As you do, let the circle become a sphere... a bubble... a space ... from which you live and move...
6) Taking it into the Future.
As you continue to experience the sphere; see, hear and feel yourself performing in the days and weeks to come... using this state as you move through the world. Notice when and where you will want to use this.
7) Break state and Test.
What did you eat for lunch two days ago? (State-interrupt)
Now step back into this sphere and describe what you see, hear and feel for your state of excellence.

LC"I approached Paul for a number of different reason, but mainly because I felt I had no control over my own life.
My Biggest issue was I felt like I could not move forward with my life because I always put things off. I felt like I had a massive blockage in many areas of my life and although I had great ideas in how to suceed and I was full of motivation at the time I always seemed to stop mid flow and put everything off until another day. This was starting to effect all areas of my life including my relationship with my girlfriend. It was becoming unmanageable.
After just one session with Paul he helped me see things in a completely different way. He brought me from a place of fear and procrastination to a place of being able to do the things I had always put off. The fear has now gone and I feel completely invigourated. I feel I have so many more oportunities and I know it sounds cliche, but I am now finally the master of my own destiny."

"I came to Paul asking him to help me overcome my phobia of rollercoasters. I'd never wanted to try to get over this fear previously but since having a child I wanted to be able to do as much as possible with my lovely little boy.Mandy D'Angio
Paul immediately made me feel relaxed and comfortable and he really listened to everything I had to say in order to get to the crux of the situation. He spoke with me for about an hour and we chatted about my phobia and also about other times in my life where I had felt very scared. For most of that time I didn't even realise that he was already re-programming me.
All I knew at the end of our session was that when I imagined going on a rollercoaster, I felt calm and happy rather than terrified and tearful. This was a first!
Paul is an exceptional life coach, he is inspirational and motivational and challenges you to realise your full potential in areas of your life which previously posed as a problem. I was absolutely amazed at how quickly I overcame my issues and I cannot recommend Paul enough to anyone who is looking to overcome obstacles in their life. Thank you Paul for everything you have done for me, and I'm now able to say 'yes' when my little boy asks me to go on a ride with him! ....AMAZING!"

Mrs S."I am absolutley amazed at the results I got from seeing Paul. I was suffering with dreadful pregnancy insomnia for months and was working myself up into a dreadful state. I was so tired and exhausted but unable to sleep each night. I was so worried about the effects it would be having on my baby which was making me feel even worse.
I had been to see several people previously but with no success, I very nearly gave up and just thought I would have to stay tired for the whole pregnancy.
Luckily I found Paul, after just one session with him, he showed me some really helpful techniques that have completley transformed how I feel. I am so calm now and feel so at peace with myself. I am so happy as this new sense of well being must be having a great effect ony my baby too. I am now sleeping so much better and am so grateful to be feeing human again. Thank you Paul, I had almost given up on anything working.
I will definitely be recommending you to my friends and family."

SJ"I went to see Paul the day before my driving test. I was feeling so nervous I was worried that I would mess up and would be too jittery.
Paul was great, he worked his magic on me and after the session I felt really positive and completely calm about the test. Any nerves I had just helped to sharpen me up and I was able to keep my cool.
I am delighted to say I passed my Driving test and I am so happy. Freedom at Last! Thanks Paul, I am amazed at how what you did managed to turn me from a jittery mess into a calm and collected, postive happy driver.
Your the best!"
