As many of you are aware, taking a 10 minute break during the day is highly beneficial. This is where you go to a quiet place, you sit down, get comfortable and close your eyes. Empty your mind of the day’s events and relax. Chill.

Today, I’d like you to take this relaxation process one step further. Rather than spending 10 minutes sitting quietly, how about you spend only 5 minutes void of any thoughts, and the remaining 5 minutes to visualise what it is that you want.

It could be making that perfect presentation, being confident at a social event, making sure your child’s birthday party goes really well. Whatever.

Visualise what you want in as much detail as you can. See and feel the event with your inner eyes. Sense, accept and nurture the confident emotions that arise.

When you’re done, open your eyes, stand tall and say, “That’s me! I am confident.”

And walk out of that room, feeling sharp and confident.
