All of us use Sub-Modalities at a very unconscious level. But not all of us are aware of how sub-modalities work or how it affects us in our daily life.

Once you are aware of and know how to use sub-modalities effectively, it will allow you to get a greater control over your own internal experiences, so that you can put yourself in any state that you want.

Sub-modalities help us make distinctions mentally. Through sub-modalities, we can tell whether we like, or dislike something, feel procrastination or motivation.

For instance, if you are procrastinating on something, it is very likely that you are playing images that make you feel bad. It is likely that the thoughts you have are disempowering, burdening and maybe even destructive.

So, have you ever considered why some images are empowering and why some are lousy in nature? Have you ever wondered or realized that there is a difference in the images you play in your mind everyday?

Are you aware that the empowering images you play in your mind are actually coded in a very different way compared with images that make you feel lousy?

Let us play a little imagination game for a while.

Imagine that you could see a picture of two people, side by side, in your mind, and one of them is someone you like intensely, and the other is someone you dislike intensely.

Here are a few questions for you and I would like you to make a mental checklist.

- Which image is brighter?

- Which image is larger?

- Which image is closer to you?

- Which is a movie?

- Which one is a stirred image?

- Which one is in color?

- And which one is in black and white?

- Is there one in 3-D and the other in 2-D?

- Is there any sound or voice that you might have in either of these pictures?

- What are the different sounds or the voices?

You may open your eyes now. These finer distinctions in your thoughts are known as sub-modalities. Sub modalities work by giving us meaning to an internal representation or thought.

Before we can use sub modalities to create change, we need to know how they can be changed specifically. Let us take a moment to think of that image.

Each of these images can be shifted depending on the nature of the distinctions. So, it is important for us to make the appropriate kind of distinctions.

With this small introduction to sub modalities, take more time to explore this subject further, and you will be amazed at how you can change the way you are feeling, from negative states of depression, frustration to positive states of excitement, motivation, states that are empowering in nature.
