Doyle

PJE: "every fear I had of failure or imperfection was linked back to that one emotion of despair and hopelessness. It was that feeling that I always feared, not the actual consequences of a wrong choice!"

I will track down this fear of the emotion using doyle technique (Speed Trace).

Speed Trace:
Very unresourceful states of helplessness, hopelessness, worthlessness, powerlessness, and self-judgment make good candidates.

I want to track down the state of feeling hopeless while talking to someone.

How to do a Speed Trace
Verbal method only: get the explorer's age. For our example, we'll use an age of 42 years.
Have the explorer access and hold the state. You can anchor it kinesthetically (touch or self anchor). If the state has an eye access, have the explorer fix their eyes on it.
Age-regress from the current age.

Synesthesia method

Have the explorer create a representation in at least two senses of moving backward through time. Do this very rapidly, so they reach the age of conception in a few seconds.

Occasionally the person may need to go far past conception to get the whole doyle. Go to the Stone Age, or to the beginning of the universe if necessary. When the feeling of the doyle disappears completely, they're done. Make sure they got the whole doyle (step 4).

Check by trying to re-access the original state. If some of it remains, anchor that and do another Speed Trace. Strong states may get built by "stacking" several doyles, which you may need to Speed Trace separately.

Juggler:
Advanced Storytelling
It is pretty easy to tell a good story when the tale is exciting or unusual. To make it to the
next level though, Juggler encourages us to make the most mundane things sound
interesting. You know you are good when you can make doing laundry sound exciting. Try
this exercise. Every day before you go to sleep, write a short story about your day. Just one
paragraph that captures the highlights and try to make it sound interesting. Make each day
of your life into a fascinating tale and share it with others.
Even on your off days when you feel crappy, talk about these feelings in an artful way. In
short, be genuine and at the same time infectious with your wit. Talk to strangers every day for practice and you will see what material works and what doesn't. Ask people how was their day/weekend and it provides an excellent opener for you to weave some story magic!

BE FUCKIN PASSIONATE ABOUT EVERYTHING -> EMOTIONS!

Make statements not questions.
