Chapter 1: What is the power of anti-vision and why is it important?
And so outside of the positive thinking, we have this sort of power of negative space. It is much easier to know what you don't want. And so some experts suggest starting with what's called an anti-vision. Because again, it might be much easier for you to know what you don't want. And so to know what you don't want eliminates those things.
And then it leaves more space to figure out what you do actually want. Cause you look at like the most important piece of target setting or goal setting is is clarity. And the only way to get clarity on what you really want is to ask yourself, what do I really want?
Chapter 2: How can identifying what you don't want help clarify your goals?
And maybe it becomes easier to answer that question if you know exactly what you don't want. And so this is where the sort of first exercise comes into place of like the anti-vision. So here's the exercise, right? Describe your anti-Tuesday. The anti-Tuesday. If you change nothing, the physical health you fear, the debt you hate, the stagnation that scares you, nothing changes.
What is a random Tuesday like in five years if nothing changes? That is the anti-vision. So you're using that sort of pain of that as fuel. You're using that sort of life you hate because you mildly hate your life right now, but in five years, if nothing changes, you will absolutely be miserable and hate your life even more. You're using that pain as fuel.
You're using a life you hate as a sort of launch pad, as this activation energy to propel you towards the life you actually want and can build and are capable of building. We just need a different set of tools and identity and potentially motivation to get us going in that direction. And so here comes the sort of the day one protocol, the actual action steps.
And part one of this is the morning audit. So you got to set aside at least one day and write down 15 to 20 questions about your current life. Because if you want to change anything, again, you need awareness, acceptance, Action. This is the awareness piece. Like you have to figure out your life in this current state. Why do I do this? What's my conditioning here? Where did this come from?
Why do I tell myself this story? What's my identity about this? You know, where are you trading your aliveness for safety? What are you avoiding? What are you not doing? What do you need to confront? What identity needs to change around this, around that? What habits do I want to install? What does my life look like? Why am I miserable here? Why can I do that?
Like ask yourself 15 to 20 intense questions about your life. Reflect honestly, awareness, acceptance, action. There has to be rooted in realness. This has to be rooted in honesty.

Chapter 3: What is the exercise for creating your anti-vision?
That's part one. And then we go to part two, which is like pattern interruptions, right? So you're interrupting your day, at 11 a.m., 3 p.m., and 7 p.m. by simply asking yourself a question. Am I moving toward the life I hate or the life I want right now in this moment?
That is a pattern interruption, and your pattern interruptions create a new identity, which is your repeated beingness, and your repeated beingness then creates a new self-image or a new way of how you actually see yourself, which actually can lead you to actually installing that habit that you believe will change your life. And I believe that to be very, very true.
