1- Count all the red objects you see around you, or the number of bricks in a wall , or anything else you can see.

2- Describe to ypourself in your mind , in great detail, what you can see, hear , smell, or feel around you.” The room has white walls , there’s a blue carpet; there are one, two , three chairs in the room, the first chair has a check pattern on the fabric , I can hear the neightbour’s vacuum cleaner ….’ and so on.

3- Repeat the words of a song in your mind. Try to go through the whole song , imagining the music in as much detail as you can..
