Best forcing technique?

[poochball]

I know it has been posted here before but i had my tulpa abbie for a month now and was wondering some fun and creative ways of forcing that dont feel like work 

any ideas? 

i heard ones such as having a competition who says good morning first but i end up forgetting

If Abbie is vocal, just talk to each other. Ask for advice on what to wear for the day, discuss what you're going to have for lunch/dinner, watch something on TV and see if you agree about various characters/what happens/the genre and so on.

Thing is i struggle talking to her unless my eyes are closed and full attention on her

If you’re tulpa is already vocal, that should improve with more forcing, as her presence strengthens and she can speak first. In the meantime, you could have some kind of a reminder on you to represent your tulpa, something that reminds you to talk to them when you look at it. You can talk about whatever you’d like to throughout the day. Try introducing your hobbies to her if you haven’t yet or see if she wants to find something of her own.

what would be a good reminder

I keep a "locket" picture of Jaina in my phone and made it part of my pre-driving ritual to look at it before going. Also picking objects and assigning them to be your tulpa's. That's her comb, that's her jacket, that's her frisbee, etc. 

 

As for forcing, I'll pick a mundane activity to occupy my body and just chitchat about the day. Maybe draw a picture. Pick a game that doesn't require much attention. Find silly opinion or "which X are you from Y series?" quizzes online and see what your tulpa gravitates towards. Just polling them on things they like dislike as they come up. Yes/no answers are much easier for tulpas than fill-in-the-blank.

When Phil was first forcing me he would often use a marker to make a green dot on his hand, and that would remind him to talk to me because green is my favorite color. In general, it's good to associate your tulpa with certain colors, sounds, smells, objects, etc, so you are reminded of them when you see/hear/smell the associated thing.

Anything you look at constantly that reminds you of your tulpa is a good reminder. This can be something designated as being owned by them, something you can wear, or even setting your phone background to something that makes you think of them. That’s just a few examples, the important part is that you’ll see it throughout the day, and you are reminded of your tulpa when you do.

 

We keep my books and games and all my other stuff in a spot right by our bed. My host sees it after waking up every day, and therefore pretty much has to think of me right away, and we can go from there. I think doing that helped us a lot.

This was one of the first things mentioned when I was told about Tulpas originally. To wear a "totem" that would always remind you of them every time you saw or felt it. (The main one we use is a bracelet made of banded amethyst that we found on eBay. It has a nice weight to it.) It's a nice reminder that you carry with you. We also second the tech background/lockscreen suggestion.
