Today, we're going to be talking about how your thoughts and your words shape your reality. And I know I just recently did a podcast episode about the power of your words and how it shapes your reality.
But today's episode, I'm actually going to show you an example, actually a couple of examples. that show you how the way that you speak to yourself, the way that you think about yourself, actually shows the results that you're going to get in your life. One of my favorite studies about this is a study that's called the Batman Effect.
And so the Batman Effect was a study that they did on children a few years ago that were between four years old and six years old. And they took these children and they put them into three different groups. One of the groups, all they did was they just walked into a room and they did puzzles. And just so you know, these puzzles were unsolvable.
So they put these children into a room, they gave them puzzles that were completely unsolvable. That's group one. Group two, they put them into the room to do puzzles. But what they said to them is try to see yourself doing them first. from outside of yourself. So they taught them basically about what it would look like to look at yourself from a third person.
So basically looking at yourself with more self-awareness is what they were teaching the children. So that was group number two. And then group number three, they had them do the puzzles. But before they did the puzzles, they had to pick a costume of their favorite costume that they wanted to wear. So one of them was a Batman cape. Another one was a Wonder Woman outfit.
Another one was Dora the Explorer. Another one was their favorite Disney princess. And so they had them go in dressed up to see if maybe things change if they were dressed up as their favorite character. So group one, which was they just put them into the room and said, hey, do puzzles, did the worst out of all three groups.
Group two, which was the group that looked at themselves with more self-awareness, did 13% better than group number one. And so it's this idea of like self-distancing. They basically looked at themselves from outside of themselves. And because they were in a way watching themselves, they decided to work a little bit more and go a little bit further.
