Improve your Auditory awareness | NLP is Fun

Being an NLP Coach and using Neuro Linguistic programming means that you can really Listen well. For multiple reasons of convenience and adaptation Coaching over the phone and not having a visual can be a reality.

Because I have been Coaching for many years, I have listed a few things to focus on while enhancing your auditory skillset.
This is in no ways exhaustive there are so many other endless possibilities to consider. with the following tips for sure your coaching sessions will be effective.

Remember a huge part of listening is being 100% focused, attentive, engaged and present. the person wants to feel as if you are listening.

Remember as an NLP Practitioner your client is telling a story using their language, Maps, Metaphors and actions.
Become aware of the repetitions and emerging patterns in their delivery. begin to notice and explore their beliefs using the Meta model to ask questions about specifics.

Instead of "Mind reading" notice what seems to be the priority and explore it to discover more about it, remember you are speaking to the unconscious mind, the storehouse of their reality. It may be the conscious mind has another idea, find out by listening to the language and listening for subtle "Tells".

Notice what you will notice when they shift: has their breathing changed, were there any fluctuations in their Rythm, did they pause or hesitate. Has their tonality changed in any way did their voice crack, crackle, become higher lower, quieter or louder?

What else is happening now, explore, notice and make a note of it, ask gentle questions to see what else happens.

Sometimes the best thing to do is to think of it as a treasure hunt to the deep structure, the patterns the real wants.
Realeyes working with clients is a fine art that will be refined and developed over time as long as you focus on improving your understanding of the infinite possibilities available to you through Neuro linguistic programming and Hypnosis.

Always be curious, open and willing to learn more, practice more, experience more NLP and Hypnotherapy to become a better NLP Coach. 

For sure the best is yet to come, when every day becomes even better than right now, doesn't it? 

 

Why Try | NLP is Fun

NLP is Fun is committed to helping you have practical NLP Tips, NLP Lessons and NLP Courses that change your mind and life for the better.

That being said we do not do Try here. Neuro linguistic programming has given us the resources to decide how to drive our own bus. 

NLP is Fun has more than 300 NLP and Hypnosis Posts 

"Why Try" when a person says "I will Try" they are in two states at one time these states are something like: 

• I do not believe it will work or that I can do it but I will try anyway.
• I will do it even though I cannot do it and I am not even sure I want it but I will try anyway.

This is incongruent and conflicted how much effort is going into the result. as opposed to the internal dialogue that doubts it can be done.

For me the greatest problem is in the Expectation, they do not congruently expect to succeed and they have not yet made an actual decision, or maybe they have but it is a secret.

Have you ever seen this being muscle tested ? it turns out the operator gives a very weak "Try" effort compared to when they make up their mind to do it which is a very strong and certain Muscle test.

Try to open your car door to get in, or Try to open a can of soup you would like to eat for lunch. What happened on your visualization did you achieve it or did you loop the movie over and over and over.

There are two things happening here Two states and one is moving toward and one is moving away from.

Do this Experiment if you find you have reasons not to that you have not "officially" committed to.

Just Try to visualize yourself having achieved it. what ever it is first. at the very least you will have gained more information as to what the real issue is. At best you will achieve it. and as Nike says Just Do it !

On the other hand many of us will use Try as a Negation language pattern, "Try not (or don't) to enjoy this as much as I know you would love to". it is super hypnotic isn't it. and the listener has to take a course of action if they want to get the conversation back on track,

Many of us believe "Try" means do not. and if a person uses it hears a watered down version of  "I will not ____________"!
For sure as a coach I believe it will be more resourceful to think of the client mismatching themselves. and look for further themes that repeat this pattern. where else does the client mismatch or contradict or polarize.

Calibrate Test Operate Test Exit. I welcome your thoughts on this matter

NLP Pattern Visual Squash | NLP is Fun

Neuro linguistic programmers use a pattern called Visual squash which is an NLP Pattern that is easy and fast to over come inner conflict, indecision and unconscious turmoil.
This Exercise is used in Neuro linguistic programming to experience real wholeness for the purpose of well being.

Remember if the unconscious and conscious mind are in conflict the desired state will not happen and the new behavior will not shift into high gear. this feels bad too and can cause other behavioral problems.

Here are a couple of examples of when to use Visual Squash:
You want to loose weight but eat cake all the time and have no willpower
You want to drop your mean friend but find yourself spending more time together
You say you care about doing something different but always do the same thing

Inner conflict feels bad and in the end the person will feel bad about themselves and their behavior.

How to do Visual Squash and resolve internal conflict

1) Identify the area of conflict and make a mental image of each, fully associating in Visual Auditory Kinesthetic Olfactory Gustatory use your hands and put one part in each hand.

2) Learn and Understand the possible highest intention of each part and name them for yourself visualizing each one and feel the weight of each one, is one heavier than another ?

3) Share the positive resources between each of the parts and develop an Image of the integrated shared resources now Visualize it and pay attention to this being a positive feeling.

4) Turn the parts to face each other while focusing on the Third image of the highest intention and positive feeling  and squash all parts into this it is fun to make a sound (like squishing or slapping) when your hands merge together and experience the changes from Problem state into Desired State.

5) Experience the powerful positive energy of the new integration, by bringing your hands to your heart and experiencing your whole wholeness for as long as you like.

6) Pick any situation in the future to future pace your experience of wholeness in a place that in the past may have been in congruent.

A mother brought her son to Mahatma Ghandi. she begged " Please Mahatma tell my son to stop eating sugar"Ghandi paused and then said "Bring your son back in two weeks" Puzzled the woman thanked him and said she would do as he asked.Two weeks later, she returned with her son . Ghandi looked the youngster in the eye and said, "Stop eating sugar" Grateful but bewildered, the woman asked "Why did you have me come back in two weeks to just tell him that, I am sure you could have told him that the first day ?"
Ghandi said "Two weeks ago I was also eating sugar"

7 Habits of a highly Effective NLP Coach | NLP is Fun

If you know about Neuro Linguistic Programming you will know That NLP can be used extremely well for Coaching and Learning, as well as learning how to Model a new behavior.
In many ways NLP Coaching is a highly effective alternative to traditional therapies.
Because of the components emphatically used.

Neuro = Using sensory awareness predicates = to identify and transform experience
Linquistic = Using Language to Identify an Transform patterns
Programming = Rewiring patterns that do not currently work and installing patterns that work highly effectively.

Perhaps you would like to become an NLP Coach or receive NLP Coaching or Training, here are some of the points to consider when choosing a Neuro linguistic programming Coach.

Here are 7 Habits of a highly Effective NLP Coach 

1. We are Proactive and creative with the focus on outcomes more than being formal in our approach.

2. Our Sensory awareness is highly developed and we respond to our client in the present rather that creating a strategy of what could or should be done.

3. We demonstrate creative flexibility, adapting and using different approaches that work and teach our clients to use the same approach in their own behavior.

4. We share an unspoken belief that the structure of a clients problem is more important for creating a change than the content of the clients problem.

5. We see every problem as a challenge and an opportunity to learn something

6. We regard the clients circumstance as an attempt to deal with a problem, rather that seeing them as "broken" or "Stuck"

7. We have certain unconscious, intuitive skills and behavior patterns in common.

"Build powerful hope for People, build it not so much from understandings. Build hope from an experience. Create this experience, reality is built from ideas. Create this experience repeatedly. Most of the time, most people have that backwards."

Richard Bandler   

Tote Model of Strategies | NLP is Fun

When providing NLP Coaching and certainly in NLP Training  we are determined to create a check point to know if a strategy of any kind is working at it's highest functioning.

For this reason, every single time we do any pattern we will use the Tote Model of strategies.

The Tote Model is not exclusive to  Neuro linguistic programming as it was created by George Miller, Eugene Galanter and Karl Pibram for developing feedback loops to developed processes that were complete for operating and monitoring human systems for problem solving.


T.O.T.E stands for Test, Operate, Test, Exit.

1) Test where the system is currently
2) Operate a solution for Improvement and higher functioning.
3) Test how well the operation worked to overall functioning of the System.
A) If it provided the Desired Outcome Exit
B) If further resources are needed continue to Operate until an Exit point has been determined by the feedback loop.

4) Exit only when satisfied with the stability of achieving desired result.

NLP | How to Improve your calibration skills | NLP is Fun

You can improve your NLP Calibration skills right now, even if you believe you are rubbish at it so far.
I know you have heard a about  NLP Sensory acuity and  NLP Calibration.
Now let us go in a little deeper.

When you experience your NLP Practitioners training you learn the importance of Calibration for building Rapport, and for effectively using NLP full stop.

We improve our calibration not just at NLP Practitioners training but constantly.
The better we are at calibrating in NLP, actually the more flexible we can be and the more we can understand a persons Model of the world and how they are processing.

One of my greatest hero's Bob Marley said among other great things:
"Every action causes a reaction .... "

Honorable Robert Nesta Marley 

Now to calibrate also can mean to negotiate ....

Further

Even at a stand still

In fact to Calibrate means to understand the unconscious non Verbal signals.

The out of conscious truth.

All NLP is based on unconscious processing.

You may be able to know what the Transmitter transmits before the Transmitter consciously knows he/she is transmitting such evidence.

This is the beauty of NLP and they may say to you "How did you know this, are you a mind reader ?"

Interesting isn't it.

Also 

To be a great communicator can make you a person who thinks differently, staying in the game longer and pays more attention to the other stuff...

This actually is certain as long as you are improving with Neuro linguistic programming.

Like .... The stuff the transmitter is actually communicating unconsciously.

Now, 

To observe these transmissions is the beginning.

You have yet to understand what the transmitter can mean by them within this particular context.

However, honestly you now just have a starting point.

Although, you my be piecing it together.

Remember, as an NLP'er we are looking for any thing different, This means:

It feels different 

It Looks different 

It sounds different  

It smells different 

It tastes different 

The combination of any of these things are clues,

The more you know how to calibrate the easier it will be to solve the puzzle.

You can learn how to understand a persons sequences and this is the goal of calibration.

In NLP this will be their processing strategy.

It is a recipe,

If you observe the person under stress, this is a clue to pay more attention to their behaviour now.

What you hear and see may not match what your unconscious intuition is telling you. This is important to know for a few reasons:

 You may miss the turning point of any situation leading you to fail to resolve a thing or worse.

A) with a coaching client

b) Family member

c) Loved one

d) New Job

e) More money or an extended offer

In other words always look for the opportunities.

As with anything, practice makes perfect.

Remember we are looking for any glimmer of a shift in state.

Some traditional NLP areas are

Colour change

Micro expressions

Breathing changes

Posture Change 

Sudden movements anywhere

Eye changes

Flaring of nostrils

Tonality shifts 

Different eye accessing cues   

This is not all please note ALL Subtle state shifts.

Most of all real eyes learning NLP is an ongoing unconscious awareness that will become natural to maybe in the begiing and certainly in the end.

So please refrain from overwhelming yourself and remember to chunk down.

You have got to Relax ...

Learning is easier when you are more relaxed 

And also

You can focus on a certain area if you like.

Btw did you know, many people miss loud body language signals and only listen to the words.

They may even argue against unconscious signal being real.

This makes me giggle, every time.

Especially if they are firing off loads of theirs while explaining their delusions.

Remember what Bob said 

Every action causes a reaction.

Well begin to notice your own reactions.

Are you easily triggered .... ?

What about if People don't believe in NLP 

When I first started I must admit I wanted everyone to learn it.

I still do, although I do not get upset any more if people do not follow through after knowing the value of NLP.

As my grandmother used to say "It will all end in tears you know"

She felt as if practically everything was going to end in tears so no real Biggie ..

BUT!

Notice what you notice and trust yourself.

Have fun with it.

NLP | 10 Secrets of Persuasive communicators | NLP is Fun

As an NLP Practitioner you will learn that people have their own way of interpreting their realities. If you are trained in Neuro linguistic programming, the first thing you are taught is to understand another persons "Model of the world".
In today's NLP Blog, I am sharing 10 Secrets of Persuasive communicators on NLP is Fun.

In all great communication, a dialogue is a pleasant shared experience with a intentional destination.
As a Practitioner of Neuro linguistic programming you have the chance to be extremely specific in how you persuade others using:
Your Body Language
Your energy and personal power
Your Linguistics.
You can also consistently calibrate how you are matching by the unconscious feedback they are giving you through signals from their body positioning, energy, words.
Here are a few things to consider in persuasive communication:

Overview:
You have a plan that includes the following:
It always feels great = In NLP we call this Rapport. The conversation is flowing nicely between all participants.
It will easily reach its intended destination without obstruction. No matter what they say, or tactics they throw at you, you stay focused on the end goal and never detour.
You know both parties being happy and satisfied with the journey and destination, is essential. This is true pacing and leading.
You have in mind the goal of their satisfaction always. They are so satisfied that they will want to engage with you, more frequently in other destinations too.

Here are some ways persuasive communicators ensure effective communication.

1. They are continually improving, from a mindset of: Improvement means Improved opportunities.
They consistently study, learn new info, practice and invest in their own self improvement.

2. They always raise their own bar, they have goals and constantly review and challenge their own limitations.

3. They know that to influence any one else one must  always first influence themselves.

4. They never allow rejection to hypnotize them from their desired outcome.

5. They always seek a solution, even in the most bleak of circumstances.

6. They believe the more you learn, the more you earn.

7. They are driven by achievement and the prosperous rewards of achieving, that ensure a higher standard of quality in their lives.

8. They expect challenges, and they are prepared to conquer them.

9. They are expert at focused attention and attainment of their clearest intentions. They listen, learn  and understanding the intentions of the people they are communicating with.

10. They match the best that they have to offer to the expressed strongest desires of the person they are communication with.

When you are serious about Learning NLP and becoming excellent at using it each and every day, you will regularly improve.

NLP | D.V.P Pattern | NLP is Fun

One of the great things about Neuro linguistic programming, is that you have a chance to get clear with yourself about what you are hoping to achieve. This means you can also become a better communicator.
As a rule, the clearer you are, the more powerful you become. In order to get clear in the first place, you must go beyond a vague outline of what you desire..

If you have an interest in using NLP as a strategy you must connect to all of the information, organize, prioritize and understand exactly what you mean. We call this being fully Associated  to our outcome.
When you do this you will become very clear in fine tuning your communication internally (In your own mind) and externally (While speaking to others).

This is so important to gain leverage in persuading anyone that you are serious about your outcome.
When you are clear about the outcome and you can then learn to believe in it.
Then achieving it, is a natural conclusion for everyone.

Have you ever had a conversation with somebody who has a rough idea of what they want and they have no idea how to explain it to you.
If so you may remember experiencing their confusion leaves you confused too.
Then when they may become overwhelmed and upset and then pass this on to you too.

As an NLP Coach, I am constantly telling Entrepreneurs, Speakers and Sales people to powerfully refine their communication internally to work well externally.
Remember, I always say that maintaining your state is everything. If you maintain your state you also maintain your power.
This pattern allows you to execute your communication as effectively as possible,

If you have been reading "NLP is Fun" for a while, you may know that I am an NLP Trainer who Certifies NLP Practitioners.  
I also teach individual NLP Patterns through "NLP is Fun" NLP Study group.
One of the reasons I first created my NLP Practice group over 8 years ago now was to simplify one NLP pattern at a time in an easy and fun way that everyone can relate to.

In doing both, I have learned to emphasize that the process is also an important part to achieving the result.

The best Process gets you there faster and easier. If you start out with a great process, you can enjoy this as much as the result. With a great process, you can try it on in another context.
If you get creative enough, sometimes the same process will fit another "Situation" too.

My NLP Mastermind members will tell you that you if you know it, you do it.  As Bob Marley said who knows it feels it.
So clarity is essential in all of your processes.

Having a rough idea is never enough detail.
You must be able to see the Big picture as well as plan the detail and they must all fit in together.
This is called Chunking Up (Abstract) and Chunking down (Detail).

Even learning one NLP pattern, that you know how to use easily and effectively leads you to having an open mind about your own capability. When you Learn NLP and maximizing what you have learned you become more experienced in how your NLP Toolset works.
I wonder how much more would your own life would improve when you became fluent in using NLP easily.

My desire is that you have fun with this pattern, and anything else I offer you and fully use it to your own advantage.

The D.V,.P Pattern credit goes to Robert A. Yourell:
(Distillation, plus Vision, plus Passion).

I found this NLP Pattern in Shlomo Vaknin's "Big book of NLP". If you would like more exposure to Robert A. Yourell's interesting work then please enjoy this Hypnotic  "Shimmering" Video sample.
Here we go:

1. Choose the situation to be explored in greater detail.
Turn all of your thoughts into notes to remember on a piece of paper
2. Take a moment to just notice your notes, and ask yourself:
a  "what if I can create more detail here"
b  "Lets prioritize them"

3. Distill the thoughts by chunking down
Ask yourself:
"Which bits if any, are unnecessary"

4. Distill the notes again 
Ask yourself :
"What if I can make it even easier"

5. Distill the notes even more. Take a look at the themes, key points or metaphors that stand out to you. 
Create a slogan now to highlight and trigger this information. (think like a "Mad men" or an Advertising exec).

6. Connect to the information, in such a way that you would be able to add your own flair to it. 
Create some flash card sized talking points that would simply communicate your message. Remember to be as engaging and passionate as possible.

7. Kick it up a notch. Practice speaking to other people while getting your point across.
Anticipate maintaining your power and your message no matter what they throw at you.
Make this into a pitch that you own inside out.
Imagine scenarios where you are using this pattern: This could be in an interview, sale, relationship, presentation or any environment where you aim to be more persuasive.

8. Fully associate to all you have learned while refining this process so far.
Add pieces that turn it into a very smooth an easy conversation. Remember to think win win, while still being calm and strong about getting your point across.
even practice using it with people who you at one time thought of as difficult or opposing to your own desires and visualize them being persuaded by you using this pattern.
Make it an interesting story perhaps and something they can relate to.

9. Take enough time and energy to fully associate to and believe in this process.
Prepare yourself before using it.
For it (or any process) to work wonders you must see yourself as capable and filled with vital energy. Always check your own energy levels and adjust accordingly.

10. T.O.T.E
Practice always makes perfect. You cannot fail unless you stop at a point where it has not worked yet.
Test = Insert process
Operate = And gain feedback while improving and adjusting
Test = If you receive desired result go on to exit otherwise go back to improving and adjusting
Exit = When you are satisfied with feedback.

How serious are you about Learning NLP and becoming excellent at using it each and every day, what are you doing regularly to improve ?

10 Easy NLP Communication Tips | NLP is Fun

Did you know, one of the NLP presuppositions is "The meaning of your communication, is the response you are getting"
In other words how your communications lands, is the impact of your Communication,
Remember,  a great rule of thumb is:
Does it feel good or bad ?
There is a great chance that, if you feel bad when you communicated it, it will feel bad when being received.

Sometimes in a misunderstanding, the person who communicated did not mean to offend another person.
However, the person can still get offended. The person can experience the offence and still choose how to respond.
The action following the impact is in the hands of the receiver.
The receiver can always choose how they respond to any offence.

The transmitter can adjust their message.

In the end good emotional self management is essential to all parties.
The less a person can manage their emotions the more often they will find themselves being offensive and offended.

In communication, so many factors are present, so here are 10 easy NLP Communication Tips that work every single time:

1) Become even more mindful of your own intentions and clearly understand what you mean before you even start.

2) Calibrate the feedback you get from the persons response, begin to notice everything
a) What can you see
b) What can you hear
c) How does it feel

3) Always decide to take the higher ground, getting the communication back into the "feel good" zone

4) Be flexible and focused on your original outcome and intention always
5) Observe any triggering effects present in your own responses
6 ) Decide to become less reactive and more proactive in all communication
7) Use Breath to centre yourself at all times
8) Believe you are capable, of getting things back on track
9) See yourself as powerful, visualize the resolution
10) Hear yourself sounding at your best and others responding well to you.

If you spend a few moments practicing this each time, it will become an unconscious process for you.
I must say, the dividends are endless, starting with you feeling better.

Richard Bandler used to say "How much pleasure can you stand" ?
I think that is the real question. don't you ?

Just Tear The Corner off | NLP is Fun

You may be underestimating what you can do by using NLP with your very own mind. Lots of people wonder how they can use NLP to make other people feel better and forget to use Neuro linguistic programming with themselves.
Most of the time it is as simple as shifting your focus and choosing another thinking channel.

Especially if the one you are on feels bad. You can choose to change it.

Have you noticed sometimes people want to do a thing BUT have no idea where they should start and because of this do Nothing !

Time passes them by and they begin to create Nasty pictures in their Mind and say horrible things to themselves while feeling bad.

Most of the time they scare themselves so badly it can even turn into anxiety,or even depression and sometimes people have no idea how the bad feelings started.

Even if this is one of your habits, I can help you to Stop this insanity, and lead a powerful live full of vitality and high expectation for yourself.

Begin to notice how you are feeling and tear the corner off the idea of feeling full of personal power instead.

Even if you have tried before and at the moment feel Rubbish, that doesn't mean you should give up. Keep going until you feel better and start bit by bit. 

Every single day think of nice things you can do for yourself to keep your state as a powerful operating system. 

It is never to late to begin again now, start with a "Pick me up" and focus on something that makes you feel great about yourself.

NLP is Fun Online NLP Practice Group

What is an NLP Practice group anyway 
NLP is Fun in Las Vegas is a NLP Practice group where newcomers to NLP, students of NLP beginners and advanced, get together and learn brand new patterns of NLP and Hypnosis. Traditionally it has been in Las Vegas.

What can I expect if I come to one 
Our subjects vary each month and we meet weekly for Hypnosis or NLP interchangeably. This year I am going to expand what we do offline in Las Vegas to Online webinars so everyone internationally can have a chance to join in all of the fun. Some of our practicers have been with us for many, many years and we have developed wonderful relationships that will probably last forever more.

In other news:
What has NLP helped you to Master recently ?

Are you focusing on the problem or the solution

So many times when a person has a problem, they tell everyone they meet about their problem.
And the thing about that, is that soon your problem seems much bigger and more overwhelming.
The Solution disappears into the distance.

And you spend your time and energy worrying about the Problem and the consequence of the problem.
Scaring yourself into procrastination and just waiting for the worst thing to happen.

Or you could begin to spend more time and energy focusing on the Solution ... couldn't you ?
How about Telling everyone you meet about the solution.
I used to have that problem until I found that the real solution was making sure I spent my time and energy focusing on taking action and moving toward solutions.

NLP - Act as If | NLP is Fun

NLP Pattern "Act as if" | NLP is Fun 
There are times when each of us is set with the challenge of learning something brand new or being in an unfamiliar role. One of the main things to overcome is, being nervous or lacking the confidence that inevitably comes with experience.

Not only That this pattern trains your brain by acting as if it has already happened. This changes your beliefs in the area of high anticipation and deep expectation.

For people who are Manifesting, getting into the amplified feeling of high expectation is essential to your success.

NLP offers an arsenal of resources to assist in this area.

Today we will learn to Act as if !

We can use this as a framework to add to or take away from in any capacity that we can think of before, During and after an Event.

#1 Think of the situation you are not sure of your competency in, and want to improve in today.

#2 Choose a mentor, somebody you believe would have a wealth of knowledge in this area (that you wish to learn from and improve in) this mentor can be Dead or Alive, known or unknown to you.

#3 Find the Limitation in your own beliefs and turn it into a sentence for example: I don't believe I can _________ .

#4 In your mind now tell the Limitation to your mentor, explain all the reasons why you feel this way.

#5 Receive all of the encouragement that your mentor is offering to you, including any feedback sandwiches and questions your mentor asks you that lead to positive action on your part.

Your Mentor may say things like:

“You are very good at _____ and you consistently demonstrate expertise in ______ perhaps you could invest some time in learning _______ which will add to your confidence while doing _________”

And/Or

“And what stands in the way of ________”

“If you achieved ______________ what would change in your life if anything.

“Are you prepared to commit to the process of being _____________________.”

And so on.

#6 In your mind now, demonstrate to yourself walking through the process that will work for you. Feel the support of your mentor who is assisting and observing you. Now begin to notice exactly what steps are making all of the difference to improving this process and leading to your success.

Explain what you have done differently, to your mentor that is now working for you.

#7 Your mentor asks you if you feel competency in this area now on a scale of 1-10 and asks for you to go through the steps of the process and refine it until you feel complete confidence in this area.

#8 It is now Showtime and time to demonstrate your skill, Imagine doing so in front of a large Audience of family and friends who all support you and are cheering you on.

You now have a chance to sail through the process and demonstrate your improvement, Just Imagine their applause and approval as they marvel at how much you have improved in such a remarkably short space of time.

In the meantime, Act as if for any situation that you are hoping to grow into.

Go there first in your own mind as many times as you like, fairly soon you will take your desire on board unconsciously.

The beauty of this is that your unconscious actions now become congruent with your conscious wants.

Even though this is a fast piece of work, you can take as much time with it as you like, building up and layering beliefs one on top of another.

Most of all have some fun with it.

Act as if by rehearsing these mental drills a few times daily to really get in the flow of it.
