HOW TO DO A SWISH PATTERN: 
 
Step 1. 
Identify the behavior you want to change. Now make an internal 
representation of that behavior as you see it through your own eyes. If 
you want to stop biting your fingernails, imagine a picture of you 
lifting our hand, bringing your fingers to your lips, and biting your 
nails. 
 
Step 2. 
Once you have a clear picture of the behavior you want to change, you 
need to create a different representation, a picture of yourself as you 
would be if you made the desired change and what that change would 
mean to you. You might picture yourself taking your fingers away 
from your mouth, creating a little pressure on the finger you were 
going to bite, and seeing your nails perfectly manicured and yourself 
as well dressed, magnificently groomed, more in control, and more 
confident. The picture you make of yourself in that desired state 
should be disassociated. The reason for this is that we want to create 
an ideal internal representation, one that you will continue to be 
drawn to rather than one you feel you already have. 
 
Step 3. 
"Swish" the two pictures so that the unresourceful experience 
automatically triggers the resourceful experience. Once you hook up 
this triggering mechanism, anything that used to trigger biting your 
nails will now trigger you into a state where you are moving toward 
that ideal picture of yourself. Thus, you're creating a whole new way 
for your brain to deal with what in the past may have upset you. 
 
Here's how to do the swish: Start by making a big bright picture of the 
behavior you want to change. Then, in the bottom right-hand corner 
of that picture, make a small dark picture of the way you want to be. 
Now take that small picture, and in less than one second, have it grow 
in size and brightness and literally burst through the picture of the 
behavior you no longer desire. As you do this process, say the sound 
"whoosh" with all the excitement and enthusiasm you can. I realize 
this may
