Have client draw a timeline on the floor & from a clean 3^rd position

• Make a picture of the “You” that you are now.  See yourself at the appropriate spot on your timeline
• Go back 5 years on timeline – picture how you looked then
• How was that person physically?
• How was s/he relating to the significant people in their life?
• How was s/he intellectually – (thinking / using her/his mind?  What was s/he learning?)
• What were the major emotions in his/her life then? How were they typically being expressed?
• How much fun was s/he having?
• What were her/his hopes? How actively was s/he pursuing them?
• How satisfied was s/he with how her life was moving?  With how it related to the person s/he wanted to be?

Now … Just be aware of how all those things and a few others have helped you become the person that you now are <pause>

Point to the future – 5 years from now

• Notice what you’ll be like if you continue on your current path without changing (your relationships or yourself physically, intellectually, etc.)
• Notice what you’ll be like if you continue on your current path and it just keeps changing at the rate you’ve noticed to now
• Are you delighted with this future you?
• If you moved to the future as you are now – would you go forward without making any changes? Go on, dream a little! 

Juicing up the future (OFF the timeline)

• Looking at the “you” in the future, 5 years from now, you’ve the opportunity to create the “you” you really want to be – The IDEAL you.
• B assists A in modifying that future self until A has created the ideal self (the “you” that you’ve always wanted to be)
• Consider lifestyle, habits, relationships etc. What’s he doing differently? What are his hopes? etc. What decisions did s/he make that helped her/him here? How is s/he actively holding to these decisions in her/ his life?
• Identify and boost the driver submodalities. Juice it up!
