🧬 3 Steps to

- Start doing EXACTLY what you say you’ll do
- Borrow confidence & success from your future self
- Get EXACTLY what you say you’ll get

An experience so powerful it feels like a drug trip

(THREAD) 👇🏼

I’m a straight shooter not into that woo woo stuff

This is all based in proven studies and it works

Highly encourage to read the full thread

🧠 🏀 STUDY: 30 basketball players

A) 10 practiced free throws for a month 1 hour/day

B) 10 did nothing. No practice

C) 10 spent 1 hour/day visualizing IN GREAT DETAIL them making free throws (sounds, feelings, visuals)

Group B (no practice) made zero improvement

Group A (daily practice) improved 24%

Group C (visualization only) IMPROVED 23%

🎯 Same study was done with darts throwers

SAME RESULT. Only 1% difference in improvement between those who practiced and those who visualized throwing bullseye’s

🧠 Our brains struggle to differentiate between reality and in-depth visualized experiences

Here is where most get ‘visualization’ wrong and here’s how to MAKE it work

Wrong 1) 🏎 Only visualizing the result

The car, the lifestyle, the body

This is still important and has its place it gives a roadmap, a North Star

For the actions that need to be taken to get those results

Wrong 2) Always thinking of past faults, or “how it’s so hard for me”, or playing sad music all the time and thinking of their struggles

This is TRAINING REPS for the mind

Reps that “it’s hard”
“I can’t“
“I mess up in these situations”

Delete that shit from your mind, instead

20mins to 1hour a day VISUALIZING IN DEPTH the ACTIONS

Cold emailing clients
Overcoming client objections
Signing deals
Saying no to craving temptations
Having fun in client meetings
Delivering amazing work and watching clients thank you

I do it in the sauna and on the treadmill

First week it will feel cheesy. But like the basketball and darts players these become trained reps

Your brain believes you are the type of guy who wins in biz, handles objections, closes deals, effortlessly rejects cravings

It will start to resonate less with “it’s hard”, “ive failed” and more with the reps you’ve put in

The next step...

YOU. On day one in GREAT DETAIL visualize YOU in one years time. The version of you that would exist if you did everything you said you would for one year

What does he look like
Sound like
What does he do

Does he have this radiating energy everyone wants to be around

Create him. And he is now your best friend

Bring him to life. When you’re scared before a big client meeting, when you’re about to binge, when you want to skip the gym

He’s sitting right there next to you

Saying “it’s going to be ok, you got this, you’ve already done this”

Because of all the visualization reps you’ve done...

He’s right. You’ve already done this. He is you right now. Your Brian doesn’t know the difference

You already are him. Right now

When Connor McGregor was an amateur and told the press

“I’m already the world champion”

He does this, he already was that guy from thousands of hours of

Practice + visualized reps

Now let’s also make a simple physical tweak

👌🏼 STUDY: Men were asked to get angry and triggered

They did

Then after full body stretches and professional massage asked again

It was much harder to get triggered and upset

When we experience fear, rejection, pain and also when we sit on our ass all day

We hold SO MUCH tension in the body that dictates our emotions

Here is a list of stretches to release that pain, trauma and fear. And fully step into the visualized self

Behind the neck band stretches
Foam rolling and stretching legs
Neck stretches
Stretching the back

More blood flow everywhere, chest and neck airways opened. Tension and trauma released body radiating with positive abundant energy

Now let’s delete that old baggage

Those limited data points your brain references to. False limited data of your failures that don’t serve you

In the car while driving somewhere imagine a computer recycling bin

While driving on road alone in the car, and listening to some dope music

Letting out 4-8 max volume YELLS

Each one visualizing those false data points and beliefs enter a recycling bin and are then deleted

I do this 2-4x a week. Sometimes without the visualization

Because the yells feel amazing. You’ll feel your chest, stomach, voice open up.

The airways open, blood starts rushing to the brain

Depending how much trauma you’re holding you may even feel a soft pop in the chest and stomach (I did)

Again, studies not woo-woo, ra-ra 😌🧠

and finally the call to action

Fears, rejections, trauma are a call to action

These techniques aid you. You are now someone who takes action

Follow your North Star, your roadmap to your goals

Lay one brick a day and watch it all compound beautifully
