Future pacing is the last step of any NLP process.

All NLP processes are based on Present State and Desired State. Once you've identified what you want, Desired State, and have identified your current state of lacking the outcome that you want, Present State, you can go to work discovering the missing Resource and Neuro Linguistically Program that resource into you in order to get what you want.

Then you imagine where and when you want this resource most in the future as a way of practicing having it so it comes easily next time you find yourself in a situation where you need it, Future Pacing. You are practicing creating your success.

When future pacing myself or a client I like to add an extra umph to it by borrowing Robert Dilts' Resource Supercharger.

Once the intervention is complete and it's time to future pace, I have the client imagine themselves one year into the future standing in front of them. Depending on their goal our outcome and timeline for achieving it, they may or may not have achieved the goal. I have them focus on how much they are experiencing the newly found resource.

If they're experiencing it say at a 7 or 8 on a scale from 1 to 10, "Imagine how much you will experience this resource in a year from now, having grown with it and experienced it over the next year."

I have them step into their future selves and soak up the wisdom and experience of having grown and magnified the resource for a year. I ask them to put into words what they are now experiencing.

I tell them to "Gather up all of that wisdom, all of that knowledge, and increased resource and take it back into the present by stepping back into your present self."

The client takes the heightened resource and any new understandings and insights from the future back into the present.

I have them do this with their future 3 year self and a future 5 year self as well (the years can be modified to fit the client's outcome) and then bring them back to the present. 

By this time the client is usually bursting at the seams with this resource and usually has discovered and evolved new resources. Often they will come to new understandings an insights about the outcome they want.

Finally I have them imagine in succession their one year self, three year self, and five year self in a line in front of them going into the future. Here is a good time to do an ecology check to make sure this is what they want and to check in if any part of them is resisting it.

Usually resistance to this future will be obvious in their physiology if there is any.

Make sure you or your client is back in the present. Don't leave them in a future self. Always end the process in the present and disassociated from future selves.
