I always think of it as 'try to prevent the aeroplane from touching down'. With the wheels just shy of the runway keep easing the stick back e-v-e-r so gently ensuring she neither climbs or decends until, despite your best efforts, she defies your back-stick commands and touches down. The stick will be a long way back by then, but as she settles 'on' bring it to the back stop and hold it there.
The trick is to do this just above the runway. If you do it too high you'll feel the bottom drop out of your world as, despite full back stick, she suddenly sinks. In this event, cushion the touch down with a little added power and if you do it with feeling you'll save the day (you'll instinctively use a little rudder with throttle to obviate any power-induced swing, of course!). One hand on the stick, one on the throttle, and feet ready on the rudders.
If you hold off too low the mains will hit the runway before you intended them too, and she'll bounce nose-high. catch it with power and ease her back down. Or go-around if the strip is very short and it's a performance landing.
Then keep her on the centreline. Don't stop flying her 'till your all switched off and out of the cockpit!
The amazing thing is, that when you start to do this it seems impossible - so much to think about and to do all at once. But it WILL become instinctive. Your hands and feet will move before your brain realises they need to!
