Dr. Michael Gervais

the most beautiful movie you can imagine, and it's your movie.

I asked world's most dominant UFC fighter for the history of all fighting, okay?

The most dominant UFC cage fighter.

And I asked him about imagery.

His name is Hickson Gracie.

So some of your audience will know Hickson, many will not.

He's older now.

He's out of his prime of fighting long ago.

And he says, mental imagery.

Oh, yeah.

That's the most beautiful movie I can imagine.

I play that movie every day from multiple angles with multiple scenarios so I can see and feel myself being my very best in what matters to me, whether that's being great in the cage because it's dangerous and being great at home.

That's the power of mental imagery.

Left undisciplined, I'll come back to this full circle, is that it moves to an anxious movie.

It moves to a worried movie.

It's okay sometimes, but if you're feeling a certain way, if you're unsettled, if you feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, much of this might be the programming that is just the natural byproduct of what your brain and your mind are supposed to do to keep you alive.

I'm suggesting learn from what the greats do, purposefully design that movie every day from multiple angles, multiple scenarios, where you are absolutely seeing and feeling yourself being...

the rock star that you want to be.

The joyful, bubbly, zest, fire, whatever the adjective is, you get to create that movie.

And it doesn't mean, Hal, it doesn't mean if you see it, it's going to happen.
