Mike,
Can you vividly imagine yourself in the bookstore before beginning with the books at home? You might use that vivid imagining to get yourself into that state and then put the tangerine in place to get started.
I think the tape set would definitely help. However, as we've mentioned in here before, doing the 5 Day Plan would help considerably. It took me two tries on the plan to get results that satisfied me, but it was well worth the effort. The more I practiced, the more I was able to let go of my need to read every word (I love books and it's difficult for me not to relish every word...).
You might also try the plan for novels that Pete outlined in the topic called "Feeling" (or something like that). I was very surprised with the results from that one.
It gets redundant because we say it all the time, but the more I practice, the more I accept the reality and the value of the statement:
Just have fun and play with it.
