Anchoring is using a trigger or stimulus to evoke a specific response. There are five keys to effective anchoring: using an intense experience, applying the anchor as the state peaks, unique stimuli to avoid accidental triggering, easily replicable stimuli, and repetition to reinforce the anchor. Effective anchoring involves selecting a state, choosing an anchor, intensifying memories of that state using senses, applying the anchor as feelings peak, and testing the anchor.
