See It

(This is a post dealing with skill development, whether you are a musician, sports participant, business owner or budding artist.  The logo implies music, yet these ideas are transferable to all endeavors.  Thanks for reading.)

I have a quote on my office wall and here it is.

As a musician, can you see yourself successfully performing that difficult piece of music?  Do you practice within your mind just as you practice with your instrument or voice?

As a sports participant, do you visualize yourself competing successfully?  Do you kick, run, bat, swing, punt, and throw with perfection in your mind’s eye first?

This is a critical skill.  Some call it the ‘practice within when you are without’ technique.

In all of your pursuits, practice in your mind’s eye as much as you practice with the physical context of your desire.

Just a thought as you continue developing whatever it is you are developing.
