How to Coach Yourself and Others Better Coaching Through Visualisation | Página 23



To reduce stress, try concentrating first on a colour you
associate with tension, and then mentally replace it with one that
you find soothing; for example the colour red changing to blue.



Or you may find it more relaxing to picture a peaceful natural
scene, such as the unruffled surface of a pond, gently rolling
hills, a serene waterfall, evening in a beach watching the sun
set, etc.



Still another technique is to picture yourself descending an
imaginary staircase. With each step, you notice that you feel
more and more relaxed.



Or you can float like the leaf of a tree, travel the waters of a
lovely creek enjoying the summer breeze and the beautiful,
peaceful meadows that you are passing through.
