What would happen if you really acted “as if…”
I’m not talking about doing this for a little while, or doing it as a joke – i mean committing completely to the idea that you can change your behaviour, your world and your outcomes purely by acting out an ideal.
This must be where the “fake it til you make it” saying comes from, and I always dismissed this as inauthentic and deceptive. Now I think differently. Sometimes you don’t fully buy into an idea, but you act it out anyways. People stray in their beliefs and behaviours, not because they have it all planned out but because they act like part of a group. Eventually the acting stops and they really feel like they belong.
What if you acted as if:
- you were very organised and a fitness fanatic
- nothing really mattered
- everything mattered more than we could possibly know
- God exists
- you were an entrepreneur
- your morning smoothie was a super food curing illnesses and lengthening your life
Happy Monday, chimps.
