The Visual Countdown Technique

===========================================
STEPS
===========================================
1. Get comfortable where you will not be
disturbed for about 20 minutes.
2. See the number 10 in your minds eye
and at the same time say to yourself:
"I now control my thoughts".
(Don't vocalize or say the number in
your mind). Just say the sentence, but
ONLY SEE or visualize the number.
3. Next see the number 9 in your mind and
say the sentence again "I now control
my thoughts"
4. Continue seeing the numbers downwards
but always say the same sentence until
you reach 1.
5. When you reach 1, start again at 20,
and do the same thing until you reach
1 again.
6. When you reach 1 again, start at 30,
and do the same thing. Continue this
pattern until you have seen all the
numbers from 30 to 1, 40 to 1 and so
on all the way from 100 to 1 and
repeated the same sentence "I now
control my thoughts" every time you
see each number.
The desired performance level is completing
the whole exercise starting at 10-to-1, and
ending at 100-to-1 without drifting off or
losing the thread of the visual countdown.

===========================================
IN SUMMARY
===========================================
1. Get comfortable.
2-6. Visual countdown from:
10 to 1 + "I now control my thoughts" 10 times
20 to 1 + "I now control my thoughts" 20 times
30 to 1 + "I now control my thoughts" 30 times
40 to 1 + "I now control my thoughts" 40 times
50 to 1 + "I now control my thoughts" 50 times
60 to 1 + "I now control my thoughts" 60 times
70 to 1 + "I now control my thoughts" 70 times
80 to 1 + "I now control my thoughts" 80 times
90 to 1 + "I now control my thoughts" 90 times
100 to 1 + "I now control my thoughts" 100 times
It may be difficult at first, and may take some
time, but when you have reached the desired
performance level the whole exercise will take
less than 10 minutes.
