From Steve Bauer and by Steve. (May 5th, 2009)

I figured I’d share this one with you. It’s fun, powerful and incredibly effective.

So here we go…

Context of use: You’re in a funk and need to break the pattern and turn up the engines.

Timing: No specific timing.

Equipment needed: Deck of cards

Pattern:

  1. Open your deck of cards and shuffle the cards. Mix them up in as many ways as you can.
  2. Choose 4 radical activities that you can perform NOW. Preferably, choose activities that would force you to get out of your home.
  3. Reshuffle the cards one more time.
  4. Attribute each activity to a specific suit of the deck.
  5. Shuffle the cards one last time.
  6. Spread the deck in your hands and then toss it in the air.
  7. Close your eyes and grab a card.
  8. Look at which suit it is.
  9. Perform the activity assigned to that particular suit.

Variation:

You can modify the number of possibilities by associating activities to suits (4) or to number/figure (13).

Tomorrow, I’ll explain in greater detail what makes this pattern so incredibly effective. For now, go try it on yourself or use it on a client!
