In this episode, Dave Wright explains how to easily change your perception of reality using a few Sleight of Mouth questions

The 3 Sleight of Mouth questions that we highlighted in these two episodes were:

If necessary, discover the rest of the belief by asking: Because?………

Reality strategy:
How do I know that it is true now?
How would I know if it wasn’t true now?

Consequence:
What would happen I if were to continue to believe that belief?
Is that what I want?
If not, what do I want instead?
And what actions could I take right now to help make it happen?
And what would happen I if were to take these actions now?

Counter example:
When/ where/ with who does this happen? (if the belief suggests that it won't happen)
When/ where/ with who doesn’t this happen? (if the belief suggests that it will happen)

Some other sleight of mouth patterns that Dave used in these two episodes but didn’t name were:

Metaphor: To create a metaphor you could ask:
What other situation is just like this belief and provides an empowering alternative?
You could ask:
What other situation could I compare this to?
You could also ask:
This situation is just like?……. (and notice what comes up)

Chunking up: To chunk up you could ask:
What’s important to me about believing that? (and keep asking till no more answers come or it just sounds too ridiculous)
Or use it to strengthen a new belief by repeatedly asking about something that’s helping you, positive and empowering:
Why is that important? And why is that important?

Chunking down: To chunk down, be very specific and exact. Request precies details. You could ask: How/ What/ Where/ When exactly?
