Mental Rehearsal Guidelines

1) While you are learning to hone your mental rehearsal skills, eliminate as many distractions as possible. Make your yourself comfortable and take your time. Before long, mental rehearsal will become a skill you can use at short notice, anywhere.
2) Decide whether you are rehearsing a new, ongoing behaviour, or a finite response or skill you want to lock into place.
3) Take a series of long, slow breaths, making sure the exhalation is slightly longer than the inhalation.
4) Relax, scanning your body and gently releasing all muscular tension.
5) Create a dissociated of yourself using the new behaviour
(If you're dissociated you can improve what you do, if you're associated you can improve how  you'll feel when you do the behaviour.)

Exercise | Raising the Bar

1) Start with a skill you already have and would like to improve
2) Create a movie of yourself (or someone particularly adept) carrying out the procedure.
3) When the movie is exactly as you want it, step
(associate) into the beginning.
4) Now introduce a dramatic handicap.
5) Repeat the exercise many times, especially late at night.
Don't skimp on the effort, and always hit your target regardless of how challenging the handicap might be. Keep increasing the handicap, and keep achieving your outcome with precision and satisfaction. Test your progress frequently and keep track of whatever you find different and better.
