WHO DO YOU ADMIRE THE MOST? WHAT PERSONALITY YOU LIKE TO BECOME? DO YOU HAVE A ROLE MODEL? WHOEVER IT IS, SAVE TIME AND “BRING” THAT PERSONA TODAY INTO YOUR LIFE: “ACT AS IF” TODAY, DO NOT WAIT FOR TOMORROW.
When thinking of growing as a human being – economics, physical, spiritual, professional, etc – the psychological technique is very effective is terms of simplicity and time. The person you admire the most embodies your ideal version of yourself – values, goals, field, status, etc. You now have this person in mind, start mimicking that person as best as possible. Here is where observing and imagination come into place – these two skills are priceless in order to “bridge” the admired personality and yourself.
By emulating, observing and imagining that personality and bringing it into your everyday life today, you initiate a mind shift, a self-perception that transcends mere imitation. Now, it is a conscious and deliberate decision to act and molde today your present reality to align with your future version. Adopting that “behavioural modelling and habit creation” today, your reality and aspirations get closer and the more practice the better. This is a powerful tool for internalising desired attributes providing an emotional resonance and confidence boost.
Furthermore, the technique will influence other areas of your personality creating positive changes in shaping your identity and making conscious choices and actions. It will also add a sense of priority over others options in daily life inspiring a feeling of immediacy and urgency in personal growth. “Act as if” embraces the person you wish to become with the present moment, taking active participation in the process. This approach fuels the power of intentionality, affirming a current reality more aligned with your future self.
Who is that person that I would like to become?
Do we have the same or similar values?
How can I stay loyal to myself while mimicking that person?
May you begin your “act as if” today and envision a bright future for yourself.
Youtomic.
