In the Swish Pattern, what is Step 1?

Practice question from Advanced B1S8 — bank. The correct answer is highlighted below with a full explanation.

Options

  1. A

    Build a vivid peak image of yourself at your absolute best

  2. Identify the limiting image — the version of you that shrinks in the room

    Correct answer

  3. C

    Repeat the swish motion five times in quick succession

  4. D

    Associate fully with the outcome image and fire your anchor

Why this is the answer

The Swish Pattern begins with clearly seeing the limiting self — the version that over-explains, appears desperate, or shrinks under pressure. You can only replace what you can first identify. This step makes the limiting pattern conscious and workable.
