Practices that may help
- Mental Representations: The Expert’s Internal Map
Mental representations, as described by Anders Ericsson in "Peak," are the internal cognitive structures that experts use to plan, monitor, and self-correct their performance in real time. Unlike novices, who hold general knowledge, experts hold richly detailed domain-specific models that make their performance faster, more accurate, and more self-correcting. These representations are built through deliberate practice and they, in turn, make further practice more efficient. - Use your mental representation to plan the performance before executing it
Mentally run through the performance in detail before beginning — using your representation to anticipate and pre-correct.

The Michelangelo Phenomenon: How Partners Sculpt Each Other - Love Maps: Knowing Your Partner's Inner World
A love map -- John Gottman's term -- is your detailed internal knowledge of your partner's inner world: their hopes, worries, stresses, friends, and daily life. Couples who maintain rich, updated love maps navigate conflict and life transitions with far less friction; the research basis is Gottman's observational couples studies, which are correlational. - Apply the love map in small daily moments
Reference what you know about your partner's inner world in everyday support and conversation.
