Example, “I choose to remain calm and in control in the presence of ____________”. Write each affirmation down on paper or a card. * Use a short autogenic training / self-hypnosis process to create a relaxed mind and body. Rehearse the behavior in first person (through your eyes) and third person (see yourself exhibiting your chosen behavior as if watching yourself on TV). * Make the imagery big, bold, and bright. Add sounds, dialogue, and - if appropriate - other sensory details. Really FEEL the rehearsed experienced.
 * Run these mind movies a dozen or more times over two or three days. * Repeat the verbal affirmations emphasizing different words within the statements. Examples: I choose to remain CALM and in CONTROL in the presence of _______! I CHOOSE to remain calm and in control…!”.
 * Review your written affirmations before entering into the situation. Feel confident, calm, and relaxed. 
 * If a situation is particularly difficult, remind yourself of the affirmation/s and run the mind movies several times until the event is done.
 * Give yourself approval for entering into this self-care affirmation process. —————————————— When you apply this powerful skill you just learned, please share your experience with me at [email protected].
