Close your eyes and try to imagine and visualize your goals or aims like they are already happening. Do into details of you actually imagining living your dream and playing it out in your mind. Savor and dwell on the feeling of the experience and channel this experience into outlining a plan to execute the plan to achieving your goal.
- It is four minutes after then it is the time to actually anticipate and expect success from the three previous warm ups you already did. With your eyes closed, prepare for a successful day and a productive one at that. It could also be the best time to remind yourself of the great or little successes you have actually accomplished in the past. This time you get to visualize obstacles and ways to conquer them too. Imagine yourself responding professionally to any unexpected or unforeseen problems you could probably encounter along the line.

Feel the mood, the air, the aura of the environment at the moment. Close your eyes and savor on the sound and sensation that comes off the environment then finally open your eyes and allow your attention linger on objects, colors, sights and the environment generally.
