An example of this second strategy: We might anticipate a stutter (as per [this ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/18wyovf/do_you_often_feel_or_know_that_you_will_stutter/)reddit poll). So, for example, we might have the thought "I will stutter", or the sensation/pressure in the throat that we associate with the fact that stuttering might occur. Normally, we might have tried to reduce this anticipation (or even waited out the anticipation or used distraction of whatnot). But. In this second strategy we mindfully observe such anticipatory thoughts, or sensations, instead (so it's the complete opposite of our normal routine; we basically want as much anticipation as possible to accept it). While still instructing motor execution (that we learned in strategy 1). Despite anticipation, regardless of this anticipation we still instruct motor execution immediately. Simple strategy, right?
