Steps

1. The public can only handle so much psychedness, so be wary of hitting redline levels of awesome. (28 sec. )
2. Ponder your own awesomeness - It’s the most basic reason for being psyched: you! You’re a pretty fantastic specimen of humanity, so inspire yourself by pondering the heights of your own awesomeness. (36 sec. )
3. Use reflective surfaces to visually confirm your awesomeness. (47 sec. )
4. Listen to your theme song - Find that perfect piece of high-energy tuneage — one that bypasses your brain and goes straight to your psyched gland. Always have it on hand so you can administer a sonic adrenaline shot any time you need it. (53 sec. )
5. Have a dance party for one - You’re starting to get psyched, now take it to the next level. Three words: Solo. Dance. Party. (70 sec. )
6. Post-shower moments are especially good for dancing any lingering buzz-kill into submission. (80 sec. )
7. Create your own catchphrase - Reduce your entire philosophy to a single recognizable phrase. Say it early and often, until it becomes a trigger that takes you straight to psyched-ville. (87 sec. )
8. Break out your trampoline - This one’s simple: get on a trampoline and jump. It’s an immutable law of nature — optimum bounciness leads to maximum fired up-ness. (100 sec. )
9. Falling off a trampoline and breaking a limb is an excellent way to become seriously and devastatingly unpsyched. (110 sec. )
10. Get your smell on - Take a few tips from aromatherapy: Fragrances with strong notes of jasmine, cinnamon, or grapefruit are all known for their stimulating properties, leading you to additional levels of psycheditude. (118 sec. )
11. Watch your clip reel - Occasionally you might need to psych yourself up by looking to the awesomeness of others. Edit the “get-psyched” scenes from your favorite movies into a clip reel. Watch whenever you feel your level of psyched-ness dropping. (134 sec. )
12. Share the psyched - Psyched-ness is contagious. Get your friends stoked, and their pumpitude will return to you a thousand-fold. (149 sec. )
