The Secret Sauce That Will Get You to Goal!
Have you ever wondered why some athletes attain a higher level of success than others? Chances are that the champions we all admire as we watch their performance use mental rehearsals as part of their training process.
What is a mental rehearsal? Athletes imagine their game or event from their perspective as though they are actually competing. They mentally rehearse their performance by breaking it down into each tiny component and they fully engage all their senses while mentally performing. In this way they work on improving specific aspects of their performance. They see AND feel their success at completion of the rehearsal. The technique is now being used in all sorts of applications as people strive to better their performance. If you can imagine a scenario, you can mentally rehearse it to achieve the results you want.
Mental rehearsal can serve you well if you wish to form new and healthy lifestyle habits. Practice mental rehearsal if you want to motivate yourself to follow through on your good intentions and follow those healthy habits all the way to success.
For instance, if you want to exercise consistently, mental rehearsal can help you. Once you've chosen your activity, mentally rehearse what you will see, feel, hear, smell or taste as you take yourself through the routine. Put your senses into the mental image and really live the experience. The more you practice, the easier and more comfortable the process will become and each success will lead to another.
Think of a mental rehearsal as your secret success sauce!
