The goal is to withdraw from the world so that you can focus on the visualizing succeeding your goals. If you're too tired, you might just nod off instead. It can be hard to focus your mind if you are either hungry or too full. Eat enough to give you energy for meditation, but not so much that you are overfull. You want to find a space where no interruptions or sudden noises will pull you back to the world around you. A small, uncluttered space in your home is ideal. Turn off your cell phone or pager. If you have a land-line, turn off the ringer. Ask your family not to interrupt you during your session. Sitting is best, as lying down may cause you to fall asleep. To best enter a state of hypnosis:  Choose a comfortable position for your legs. A classic meditative position is to cross your legs, but you may prefer to kneel, lay your legs out straight, or sit in a chair. Just be sure it is a position you can hold comfortably. Keep your back straight. A straight back will help you to breathe deeply. Sit in a chair if you find it difficult to keep your back straight without one. Place your hands where they will not distract you. You can place your hands on your legs or put them together in a praying position, whichever works best for you.

This will help to clear you mind and prepare you to effectively enter a state of heightened concentration.

Summary: Choose a time when you are not too sleepy. Eat a light meal 1-2 hours beforehand. Find a quiet place to practice the Best Me Technique. Make sure you will not be interrupted. Adopt a comfortable position. Breath steadily and deeply.


If you live in the United States, you'll notice blue USPS mailboxes in most cities and suburbs. Open the box near the top, place your letter in the slot, and close it. A postal worker will collect your letter at the time shown on the box and start the sorting-and-delivery process. Every blue collection box has a notice indicating when the mail gets picked up each day. If you place your letter in the box after the scheduled pick-up time, your letter will be picked up the next business day. If you have a mailbox on or near your home, you can place your letter there. Alert your mail carrier of its presence by moving the red flag out of the mailbox.  This is usually done by rotating the flag up or by pulling the flag out.  The mail carrier knows that if the flag is visible, then there is a letter that needs attention. If you need to buy postage, you can leave your letter with a postal clerk, and s/he will mail it for you. Even if you don't need to buy postage, you can still take your letter to the post office to be mailed. See www.usps.com for information on where to find the closest post office.
Summary: Place the letter in a blue collection box. Place the letter in your own mailbox. Take the letter to any post office.
