Does my [strategy](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/1466orq/my_strategy_to_improve_stuttering_with_the_goal/) have any effect on your stuttering? 1. don't rely on anticipation, thoughts, feelings, sensations and stutter beliefs/attitudes to initiate speech movements 2. replace the unhelpful attitude (during a speech block): "*measuring tension or air pressure against the tongue, lips, vocal cords (and other speech muscles)*" with the helpful attitude: "*instructing to execute motor movements*" & fully establish articulatory starting positions without avoiding it & acknowledging that this is the root problem of freezing articulators 3. label the mindbody (sympathetic physical) pain as '*I need to measure tension or air pressure*' 4. observe/accept the triggers
