The world's best golfer, Tiger Woods uses his imagination to help him consistently produce the highest level of play ever achieved in his sport.

Before each tournament, Tiger uses his imagination to visualise playing perfect golf and winning the event. Each day before he sets foot on the course he imagines himself playing every hole during his round perfectly.

Before each individual stroke Tiger imagines playing the perfect shot. He uses his imagination to visualise stepping up to the ball, addressing the ball correctly, making the perfect swing, striking the ball cleanly and projecting the ball accurately to the target.

Tiger has used this visualisation process throughout his career. But how can the technique Tiger Woods uses help someone overcome shyness?

The answer is visualising a successful outcome can be used in any situation from the golf course to the dating scene.

Shy people and those lacking self confidence tend to imagine the worse and set themselves up for failure.

Whatever it is you are anxious about, be it a social occasion, a job interview or a presentation, instead of imagining it going badly just do the opposite and get a clear picture in your mind of things going smoothly and successfully.

Develop the habit of using your imagination to see yourself feeling at ease and talking happily to people in every situation.

For example, if you want to talk to someone you find attractive, use your imagination to picture yourself talking happily to the person. Visualise yourself being calm, confident and enjoying the experience.

Tiger Woods has enjoyed great success by using his imagination to visualise achieving his goals. He's not a bad role model!

Each half box has three steps: a step forward or backward, a step to the side, and a step to close the feet together. The instructor was counting out
