Future pacing is the virtual reality check on your outcome.

Future pacing has four functions:

1. As an ecology check.
2. As a test that the change will really work.
3. As a mental rehearsal of your desired outcome.
4. As a way of generalizing the lessons you have learned, taking them into the real world.

Mental Rehearsal Principles

• Start from your goal.
• Focus on the process, not the result.
• Be specific.
• See, hear and feel perfection.
• Use all the senses.
• Relax.
• Practice.
