manifest who you want to be, be it till you become it, have the vision board on your wall.

And I definitely think there is some power in that.

Again, it has not been able to be measured as far as I'm aware.

But there is another element where if you're visualizing yourself becoming something and believing you can achieve that, what you're doing is changing your self-image.

You're updating that blueprint.

You know, we spoke about it earlier, the idea of these scars.

You're allowing yourself in your mind to create this new concept of who you are.

Because if you cannot see yourself as being there, as deserving that, you will inevitably sabotage yourself as you get there.

You will notice everything getting in your way.

And that'll be proof that, see, I can't do this.

So that's the idea of upgrading your self-image.

So that's really, really powerful.

But then a lot of people get stuck where they just have this view of where they want to go.

They're so clear on it.

They're excited about it.

And then suddenly they just, they flounder.

And it's because of two things happening.

There was a study that was published that found that when we have these beautiful positive, they call them positive fantasies, these visualizations where we want to be, and we feel them and we embody them, it can actually sap your energy.

Because when we then face a roadblock or a setback that we are completely unprepared for, it challenges that view that, hey, I can get there.

And suddenly we start to think, oh, no, we start to anchor back on our current self image and think too hard.
