Simple Tricks to Avoid Flaring Too High?

When transitioning from the C-172 to the C-182, my CFI pounded into my head how heavy the nose is and to avoid landing nose-wheel first at all costs to avoid buckling the firewall. The result is that I find myself consistently flaring too high, out of fear for flying into the runway nose-wheel first, which results in a "drop-in" landing every time. In addition to "good old practice", does anyone have any simple tips or tricks that could help me find the right point to begin the flare? I haven't quite cracked the "Jacobsen Flare", which strikes me as good in theory but tough to apply in practice. Thanks!
