Self #2, please let self #1 play. ( )

I loved this book. Though I read it many, many, many years ago, its premise has applied well in tennis, in learning dance choreography, basketball, Tae Kwon Do and even interviewing! It's true, our subconscious sometimes doesn't know the difference between actually doing something and rehearsing in our minds. This is an effective tool and technique applicable in many areas of life. I'm rating from memory, of course, as it has been probably 20 or more years since my first reading of this book, but its premise remains within my arsenal of life techniques and winning strategies.

Be still, my mind, and start to appreciate the beauty that surrounds you. Do not let the habit of measuring things up encroach on your measuring human worth. You do not have to prove yourself to anybody, including yourself. See things for what they are. Be in the moment. Do not be uptight in self-improvement. Trust thyself, learn to let go. -- A fabulous must-read book. ( )
