GUIDED IMAGERY: BEFORE A RACE

Imagine yourself doing something you want to accomplish through guided imagery (kinesthetic imagery)
💎Tips
1. Feel the movement
💎Imagine the muscles that are used to complete the movement
​💎Imagine how tense or how quickly your muscles are moving
2. Make it as vivid as possible
💎Include as much detail as possible
💎Watch yourself completing the movement
3. After completing this guided imagery exercise, rate how clearly you were able to see yourself
💎(5=clear image of yourself, 1=unable to see yourself as you were imagining)

Example:
You want to complete a 10K
💎Close your eyes
💎Notice the sounds around you before the race
💎Imagine how your muscles feel at the beginning of the race
💎Now it's 1 minute has passed, how do your feet feel?
💎What do your calves feel like?
💎How's your breathing?
💎Repeat these for each of the key turning points during the race.

WHEN DO YOU TEND TO GET NERVOUS?!
