Change Your Destiny Model - Time Projection and Motivation
This is an extremely powerful model to help people re-align their thoughts, feelings and
behaviours and in doing so start along a new and positive journey towards the realisation of
their goals.

By changing your perspective you can re-evaluate your present situation. In this model you
should identify an existing issue that is preventing you from moving forwards along with
your desired position if the problem was solved.

The SUD score is a subjective measurement of how much (out of a maximum of 10) the
problem is causing the client. SUD stands for the Subjective of Unit Disturbance and is used
by researchers when measuring the success, or not of an experiment. In this instance we are
using a SUD measurement to enable you to measure your own improvement .

In the example shown below (in red) the presenting issue is the persons non achievement of
potential and this person considered that this was a 9 out of 10 problem. The persons issues
and desired outcomes are entered for their feelings, what actions they are undertaking as a
result of their feelings, and their thoughts as a result of their feelings and actions .The person
then describes their desired future feelings, behaviours and thoughts.

It is important to understand that whilst some people appear really positive on the outside
their existing thought processes and behaviours, and perhaps their lack of understanding of
how they come across to others, is having just as much impact on their ability to achieve their
desired outcomes as a person who is perhaps less assertive!

Target Issue to be Resolved:

Non achievement of potential SUD 9 /10

Following the completion of the grid you have choice of moving straight into the time
projection script below or carrying out an hypnotic induction and deepener before moving on
to the script. Without the induction the model is purely Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Some people prefer not to undergo hypnosis therefore, use the model in CBT mode.
However, research as shown that a CBH approach is up to 90% more effective than CBT
alone. Therefore, it would always be my advice to go the CBH route.

During the script you will need to refer to your existing issue (EI) and your future desired
position (FDP) as directed.

You can of course listen to my recording that I used with an actual client. Alternatively you
can record the following script yourself or get a friend to speak it to you. Make sure you are
warm, relaxed and will not be disturbed for about 30 minutes.

Time Projection and Motivation Script

In a moment you're going to project your mind forward in time using your imagination to
vividly picture the consequences of holding certain positive and negative beliefs. By learning
to picture-the effects of our behaviour in detail we transform our motivation and change the
way we feel and act we see things clearly and in a new light when we think about the
consequences of our actions.

Imagine now that you are standing at a fork in the road; you really are standing at a fork in
the road of your life. Two possible futures lie ahead of you.

On the left-hand side is your possible future as a negative-thinking person, we can call that
the "Path of Error" because it is shrouded in the darkness of irrational and false beliefs. The

Path of Error symbolises your future as someone burdened with that old, negative belief
(State EI)

On the right-hand side is your possible future as a positive and realistic person, we can call
that the "Path of Excellence" because it is illuminated by the light of truth and reason. The
Path of Excellence symbolises your true future, freedom and self-mastery, completely
embracing your new, positive belief (State FDP)

Imagine you are now floating slowly up in the air your feet gently leave the ground as you
rise higher and higher. You are now looking down at that fork in the road. In a moment you
will survey each of those paths in turn, observing the bigger picture, the long-term
consequences of following either path. You see the powerful contrast of opposing forces,
(State EI) How different that life is from its opposite. (State FDP). How both paths move
apart and diverge further and further over time, until those two lives are as different from
each other as night and day.

First of all you float up above the left-hand path, the Path of Error. You see the immediate
consequences of holding that old, negative belief (State EI). You see how it affects your body
language... facial expression ... posture ... mannerisms ... tone of voice... your speech and

choice of words... your patterns of thinking ... the way you feel
inside ... and the emotions you express to others ...

You survey all the different consequences of that negative way of thinking how it affects
your actions, your way of life, the way you interact with other people. Short-term ... medium-
term long-term ... Observe how the effects accumulate over time ... day after day ... weeks
months ... years ... decades into the future ...

You see that negative belief becoming stronger and more engrained over time, its influence
spreading as it sinks its roots deeper into your very being. You see exactly what it does to
you, the full implications of that negative belief, right up to the end of your life. You confront
the consequences now in your mind, facing them and learning from them.

No sooner than you're truly satisfied that you've grasped the consequences of holding that
negative belief just nod your head so I can see ...

Now float back to the fork in the road and out over the right-hand path, the Path of
Excellence. You see the immediate consequences of holding that new, positive belief. (State
FDP). You see how it affects your body language ... facial expression ... posture ...
mannerisms ... tone of voice ... your speech and choice of words ... your patterns of thinking
... the way you feel inside ... and the emotions you express to others ...

You survey all the different consequences of that positive way of thinking how it affects your
actions, your way of life, the way you interact with other people. Short-term ... medium-term
long-term ... Observe how its effects accumulate over time ... day after day ... weeks months
... years ... decades .. , into the future ...

You see your positive belief becoming stronger and stronger, day by day, as you grow in
confidence and self- assurance. You see exactly how your positive belief benefits you,
accepting the consequences and implications completely, from today until the end of your
life.

No sooner than you're truly satisfied that you've grasped the consequences of holding that
positive belief just nod your head so I can see ...

Now float gently back to the fork in the road and let your feet rest on the ground once again.
Look at the two paths ahead of you; it's time to make a choice... The life of slavery ... (State
EI) Or the life of freedom and self-mastery ... (State FDP) You've already decided at an
intellectual level which path you want to take. Now you're going to decide once and for all
and choose the right path at a deeper, emotional level. Take a moment to contemplate the
decision.

In a moment I want you to say just one word, either "Error" or "Excellence" and tell me
which path you choose. You're not just telling me, you're installing that decision once and for
all, and reinforcing it deeply in your unconscious as you speak.

Now tell me, which path do you really choose, is it Error or Excellence? Speak now ... [Tap
on your arm or shoulder to cue, and wait for response.]

Good. Now relax and do nothing. That decision is taking root deep within your mind,
permanently and completely.

You are already on the Path of Excellence, and everything you now do takes you further
along that road, as your positive belief grows deeper and stronger every day. (State FD Now,
in a moment, I'm going to begin counting from 1 all the way up to 5. And with each number I
count, you are now emerging with a wonderful experience of profound hypnotic
transformation. The many positive suggestions which you have already accepted and
internalised will remain with you and continue to grow stronger and more beneficial with
each day that passes.

As I count you're beginning to feel more alive, more aware, and more alert ... when I reach
the number five, open your eyes and you feel wonderfully good, peaceful and relaxed.
Beginning now: 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... 5 ... Opening your eyes now, looking forward once again ...
(Clap your hands)

How do you feel now; feels good?
