Imagery works just like any other sport.

You get better by choice.
You get better with practice.
You build confidence with practice.

You do better if you warm up before the event.

Here are some things you can do with imagery.

Keep an inventory of things you want to remember.
Store things you study and need to be able to recall later.
Rehearse events that are important to you. 
Rehearse things that make you nervous.
Make plans and see how they will work.

Here are some imagery questions to start with.

"What will I be doing an hour from now?"

"When will I eat next?  What will I eat?"

"How will I get to where I will eat?"

"What familiar person am I most likely to see next?  What will that person say?  Imagine.  How could I change what that person will say?"

Don’t name it. You do not intend to eat words.  Picture it.   Imagine the smell.  Imagine the feel of it in your mouth.  Can you imagine eating something else instead?

Imagine what you will do to get there.  Can you imagine a different way to get there?

Which of these questions suggests an idea that you could use tomorrow?

See what you can do

Pick a movie or TV episode that you like and have watched more than once.  Pick one of the most important scenes.  Do a rerun in your head. 

Who were the characters? 
How were they dressed?
What did they say? 
What did they do?
What was in the background? 

Don't try to image while you are reading.  

Don’t talk to yourself about your imagery.  Your imagery systems will remember a lot more if you give it your full attention.  See answers to these questions. 

Get real.  Pick one of these events. 

When something good happened.
When something bad happened.
An incident you wish you could do over.

Do an imagery rerun in your head. 

You can't change the past, but you may be able to change the future.                                                                    

It is never too late to use an idea. 
It is just too early for the next time you need it.

Imagery lets you change the world, at least in your head.  Imagine how that incident would go if you could do it over.

Use your imagery powers

Imagine what you will be doing an hour from now. 
Imagine making a small change in that.

Look at a familiar photo.
Animate the photo to see what happens next.
Animate backwards.  What happened before?

Imagine something you need to remember,

Your Explorer

Your Networker

Your Empath

Your Storyboarder

Thinkerer Studios

Build your imagery powers

Mealchecks:  At supper, ask yourself for one example of how you used imagery since your last meal. 

Imagine how you will use imagery tomorrow.

Image those examples.
