3 Tips for Writing Successful Flashbacks | Writer's Digest

So, I want my protagonist to have sudden flashbacks from her past, but I’m not sure how to write them without confusing the reader and just throw them out from my plot (present tense) to some vague memory (past tense). Tips on how to write a good flashback and still keep the balance in the story?
I couldn’t think of anything off of the top of my head (although I do remember struggling with flashbacks in this story I wrote about dreams… bit of an Inception moment), so I started searching around and found this great article from Writer’s Digest.
