Procedural Memory Visualization

For any habit you want to adopt or re-adopt, mentally rehearse the exact sequence of steps required from start to finish; do it once or maybe twice, eyes closed if desired but not required. Also include the 10–15 minutes before the habit and the immediate events or feelings after it.

So for those of you that just want to be more habitual about certain things, be able to perform certain things more reflexively that you would like in your life, simply take the time, do it once, maybe twice, and just sit down, close your eyes if you like, and just step through the procedure of what it's going to take in order to perform that habit. The psychology literature as I mentioned and also the neuroscience literature strongly supports the fact that it is going to make it far easier for you to adopt and maintain that habit.
