Stress narrows imagination
When you are anxious, the brain prioritizes threat detection over possibility. You cannot hold a positive scene clearly while your body is in survival mode.
A simple pre-practice regulation
- Inhale for 4 counts.
- Exhale for 6-8 counts.
- Repeat 5-10 times.
- Then begin your method.
The result
Your visualization, affirmation, or script lands in a receptive state. The practice feels less forced and more believable.
