I pretty much never lose the blip. I just find myself thinking about pretty much anything else other than my goals and purpose.
I'll try prepping the books a bit, and maybe changing my posture/angle.
As for practice, I always have some goal, even if it's minor, in mind. For example, I Tivo'ed a 2-part program on FDR (history channel rocks) sunday night and last night. So last night I pulled an FDR biography off the shelf with the goal to remember details so the show will be more meaningful, along with a few question I had after watching part of the show.
