Description

Here’s the simple 5-step process of mental imagery:

  1. Relaxation (going in) - 2-5 min
  2. Self-affirmations (confidence conditioning) - 2-5 min
  3. Mental recall (a previous success) - 2-5 min
  4. Mental rehearsal (your next performance) - 3-5 min
  5. Present moment awareness (coming out) - 1-3 min

The goal of this drill is simple: to turn up your awareness and energy by using all five of your senses - sight, sound, taste, touch, and feel.

When/How To Use It

You can perform this exercise at the end of a meeting, practice, or training session.

I suggest you do this exercise a few times, at different times throughout the day before picking the best one. A lot of my clients do it as a part of their nighttime routine.
