Hal Elrod explains how mentally rehearsing tasks in a peak state prepares your mind and body for execution. Professional athletes visualize game performance to execute better in real time. The same technique works for running, making calls, writing, or having difficult conversations.
But the most important step is to visualize what you need to do today and seeing yourself doing the thing, taking the action while you're in a peak mental and emotional state, so that when it is time to do the thing, go for that run, right? Make those phone calls, write that book, whatever it is, have that difficult conversation, you've already mentally rehearsed yourself performing at your best, so that it's easy to go there in real time. And that's what professional athletes do, right? They walk through the entire game and how they're going to perform. They've mentally rehearsed it so that when it's time to get on the field or on the court, they've already been there and done that in their mind and in their physiology and in their psychology. So they're much more effective when it's game time.
