Never neglect the use of your imagination. When about to perform a difficult lift, first of all imagine yourself going through all the motions (all the details) of that lift successfully. Imagine yourself completing the movement and how great you'll feel afterwards. Really feel it! Feel the emotion!
It's a fact that your subconcious can't tell the difference between something imagined (pictured in your mind) and something that has really happened, especially when emotion is involved. So when you rehearse a movement by imagining yourself actually performing it, completing it successfully, feeling really great afterwards (with emotion), your subconcious will believe that you have already successfully done it before.
Now when you come to the real thing you are, in effect, only repeating something you have been able to complete before. It's all a matter of belief.
