Mindgames of the high achievers.

Hi All!

Today's title is slightly Sidney Sheldonish, but it is a no less thrilling topic.

Last week we talked about action. I know that it is easier said than done. So here is another approach to action.

If you practice it HONESTLY and SINCERELY.. you are bound to win!

This mindgame takes a bit from all that we have discussed so far on this blog.

Try it, and send me feedback!

In the early stages it is easier if you practice this just as you go to sleep or just as you wake up.
Simply because it requires you to keep your eyes closed. :)

1. Close your eyes.
2. Think of the change you want to make, not as a thought, but as action. That means that you should walk through the process in your mind. Say you want to improve in public speaking:
Imagine walking up to the stage, looking at the audience, feel the chill of the airconditioning..hear the sounds of doors closing. See if you can think of the colours in the room, consciously see them and name them..... red, blue, white etc. Note what kind of clothes you are wearing.
3. Go through the whole speech you have in your mind.
4. Note and acknowledge the sensation in your body while you are imagining this. Is it tense? Is it relaxed?
5. Think of the feeling you will get when you have successfully completed the speech.
6. Sense the congratulations of friends, actually feel the handshakes and back thumps.
7. Open your eyes.
8. Repeat it until you note less tension or stress in you while making this imaginary speech.

You can use this method for anything that appears tough to you.. not just communication skills.

Consider this my summer gift to you!

Enjoy and share stories of your results.

I know it has been year end and all of you readers have been busy.. but do drop a line in the comments section once in a while. :)
