This was my final for my Film 1 class last year. I had a blast making it and this is what got me into Advanced Film (or Film 2) and what made my teacher ask me if I could be his TA.
The assignment was to take a clip from a movie, show, or other bit of media we liked and make it into a kinetic typography! A kinetic typography is the movement and expression of text. I picked a deleted scene from my favorite movie, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian! (@bandicoot88 posted the original scene if you’d like to see it, if not just check out their awesome blog!)
The Green text is Ivan the Terrible Awesome, the Grey text is Young Al Capone, and the Blue text is Napoleon! I used Scribblenaut characters and items for the photos too.
harris_reed It is with great honor (and a bit of disbelief) that I announce I am one of the new global faces of Gucci’s first ever universally fluid fragrance, Gucci Mémoire. I am humbled to be included alongside the incredibly talented, kind, and exceptional @harrystyles, the out of this world @fangusz666 , the euphoric @arianapapademetropoulos , the enchanting @olimpiadior , the devine Leslie, and no words can describe prince Stash.
To be among this incredible cast of talented and moving individuals is something I can not even begin to describe. Representing a perfume that stands for everyone, a perfume not for any specific gender, age, or any one person, this is the future, and I can not say thank you enough for allowing me to be a part of this campaign. Thank you from the depths of my soul and my whole heart @alessandro_michele for bringing me into this accepting family, and for spotting and nurturing young talent. You gave a baby bird their wings to jump and soar through the world. This is truly the biggest honor of my life. The campaign and perfume drop August 1st. #guccimémoire @guccibeauty @gucci
I'm trying this out and seeing if it works for me! (Also secondary style reveal? Pog!!!) I rarely, if ever, get questions on this blog and since I really wanted to do the HC question game I turned it into a daily prompt game for myself! (If you want to see the list, check the tag #Mar 8.2022)
I’ll try my best to keep to the list and post every day but school starts soon and I’m really bad at keeping a schedule, haha. I’m also working on cosplay for Twitchcon and building props, so please forgive me if I’m a little late!
10 Powerful Neuro-Linguistic Programming Techniques to Transform Your Life
Introduction
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a practical system of tools and techniques designed to help individuals transform their thinking, communication, and behaviors. At its core, NLP is about reprogramming the way you perceive and respond to the world, breaking free from limiting beliefs, and creating empowering habits. Whether you want to boost confidence, overcome procrastination, resolve conflicts, or simply live with more purpose, NLP provides actionable strategies for immediate and lasting change.
This guide explores 10 powerful NLP techniques, complete with explanations, examples, and exercises, to help you start your transformation today.
Understanding NLP Techniques: Why They Work
NLP is based on the principle that our thoughts (neuro), language (linguistic), and behavior patterns (programming) are interconnected. By consciously adjusting one of these elements, you can influence the others. Instead of remaining stuck in negative cycles, NLP shows how to reframe, redirect, and reprogram your mind.
The following techniques are some of the most widely used and effective tools in NLP coaching, therapy, and personal growth.
1. Anchoring
What is it?
Anchoring is the process of associating a physical action, sound, or word with a desired emotional state.
How to practice:
Recall a moment of peak confidence, joy, or calm.
As the feeling intensifies, create a unique gesture (like squeezing your fist or touching your wrist).
Repeat several times until the gesture becomes linked to that emotional state.
Example: Before giving a presentation, activate your confidence anchor by repeating the gesture.
2. The Swish Pattern
What is it?
A visualization tool that helps replace negative thoughts or habits with empowering ones.
How to practice:
Visualize the unwanted behavior vividly.
Create a strong image of your desired behavior.
Mentally “swish” the negative image away, replacing it with the positive.
Repeat until the positive image feels automatic.
Example: Replace procrastination imagery with that of yourself confidently completing tasks.
3. Reframing
What is it?
Reframing is about shifting perspective to assign a new, empowering meaning to events.
How to practice:
Identify a negative thought.
Ask: What else could this mean?
Replace with a constructive viewpoint.
Example: Instead of “I failed,” think “I learned what doesn’t work.”
4. Mirroring and Rapport Building
What is it?
A communication technique where you subtly match another person’s body language, speech patterns, and tone to build trust and connection.
How to practice:
Mirror posture, gestures, and tone naturally.
Avoid forced or exaggerated mimicry.
Example: In an interview, mirroring the interviewer’s calm tone builds subconscious rapport.
5. Meta-Model Questioning
What is it?
A questioning framework to challenge vague statements and reveal clarity.
How to practice:
Listen for generalizations like “I can’t do this.”
Ask: “What specifically makes you believe that?”
Explore details to break limiting beliefs.
Example: Help a client who says “I always fail” discover exceptions to their belief.
6. Future Pacing
What is it?
A mental rehearsal technique where you visualize yourself successfully achieving a desired future.
How to practice:
Picture a specific event you want to excel in.
Visualize yourself succeeding in vivid detail.
Repeat daily.
Example: Imagine yourself confidently leading a team meeting before it happens.
7. Perceptual Positions
What is it?
This technique helps resolve conflicts and build empathy by seeing situations from multiple perspectives.
How to practice:
First Position: See from your perspective.
Second Position: Step into the other person’s shoes.
Third Position: Observe as a neutral outsider.
Example: Use this method to resolve an argument by understanding everyone’s viewpoint.
A method for reducing the emotional intensity of traumatic or negative memories.
How to practice:
Imagine the memory as if you are watching it on a movie screen.
Gradually push the screen farther away in your mind.
Notice how the emotional charge decreases.
Example: Use V/K Dissociation to reduce anxiety from a past embarrassing event.
9. Well-Formed Outcomes
What is it?
A structured goal-setting technique designed to create achievable and motivating objectives.
How to practice:
Phrase goals in positive language.
Make them specific and measurable.
Ensure they are within your control.
Example: Instead of “I want to stop being lazy,” reframe as “I will exercise 20 minutes daily.”
10. Chunking
What is it?
Breaking problems into smaller, manageable parts or grouping small details into larger categories for perspective.
How to practice:
For overwhelm, break tasks into steps.
For big-picture clarity, group details into broader themes.
Example: Write a book chapter by chapter, instead of being paralyzed by the entire project.
