Formats for the Hammer Exercise
Affirmations Format
Exclusion of Thoughts
Something has been bothering you for a long time - the constant remembering is not helping things at all; yet, you just can't seem to forget about it. This is where the Exclusion Format comes in handy. In your left hand, the CASE hand, you think of the situation where the unwanted memory keeps popping up. In the right, or EXC hand, you angrily push the offending memory far from your mind. Then you quickly connect the sides and complete the steps. 
Imagination Hammers
Creating Logic Patterns
A logic pattern is achieved by considering a string of known facts and assuming that they imply a causative relationship. For example: Imagine that an egg is falling from a high place. We know that the egg is falling, we know that eggshells are frail, therefore we can assume that the egg will break upon impact. Another example: As a person is walking towards you they look up and give you a warm, genuine smile. You rationally think to yourself, 'That person smiled at me and that means that they like me'. It can be expressed as 'X means Y'. Most of or thoughts consist of strings of logic that are connected together to form ideas, theories, etc. To perform a logic pattern, simply say to yourself, 'That person smiled at me and that means that they like me'. This would be imagined in the LOG side. Here is how you would install this thought. For the CASE side you would consider the situation that you want to change. In this case is the way people feel about you. So in the CASE hand you would think about how people feel about you, then in the LOG side you would think, 'That person smiled at me and that means that they like me', then you would connect the two sides, then continue with the remainder of the Hammer Exercise. 
Positive Memories
Example: Bill feels like a failure whenever he tries to learn a new sport. He can recall one particular time, however, when he learned to do something very quickly and easily. To give his brain access to this fact as he tries to learn a sport, Bill does a Hammer using the Memories Format. He connects his established (CASE) state of mind with the memory (MEM) of learning something easily. CASE: Bill thinks about learning a new sport. MEM: He thinks back to time he learned something easily and remembers how good it felt. The Hammer Exercise: Initiation 
Motivation Streaming
Example: Bill wants to be more motivated with respect to exercise. He knows of another person who stays in shape and will make a good role model. He envies this person because they seem to have so much energy. STR: Bill feels envious of the person who is in shape. PRET: He pretends that he is the person who stays in shape. 
Creating Viewpoints
When properly applied the Viewpoints Format is extremely potent and useful. What it comes down to is this: its all in how you look at things. Picture this: You are driving along serenely; suddenly you see a police car coming up behind you. Your heart starts pounding and the adrenaline flows like a river. Then you realize that he is after someone else and everything changes. Your system quickly returns to normal now that you perceive the threat to have passed. The situation is still the same, but your perception is different. This principle can apply to almost any area of life and the effects are profound. Thus, the object of the Viewpoint Format is to come up with thought patterns that look at things from a positive angle, then reinforce them. Thus, in the case of the police car, you would reinforce the knowledge that he isn't after you, and everything is okay. |
