 What you think directly impacts how you behave, and how you behave directly impacts what you get out of life. And that, in turn, influences how you think and the whole cycle starts again. Need advice about something? Ask us here: ForcesOfEqual.com/Advice/ Transcript Pam: [00:06] You’re listening to Not Bad Advice where our goal is to offer perspective that helps you improve one aspect of your life at a time. [00:13] I’m Pamela Lund. CK: [00:20] And I’m CK Chung. Pam: [00:22] And we hope that after listening you’ll think, “Hey, that’s not bad advice!” [00:26] There’s a lot of woo-woo stuff that many people – me included – roll their eyes at, but that is actually rooted in science. One of those things is that you can use your thoughts to change reality. CK: [00:51] Like… manifesting. Pam: [00:53] You could call it that, but as soon as you say the word “manifesting,” a lot of people tune out. Manifesting conjures up images of The Secret or candlelight rituals, crystals, and summoning spirit guides. And if you’re into that, great. Do it. But I want to talk about how simple shifts in how you think about what you want can increase the likelihood that you’ll get it. [01:20] What you think directly impacts how you behave, and how you behave directly impacts what you get out of life. And that, in turn, influences how you think and the whole cycle starts again. CK: [01:32] You can see extreme examples of this in people who have extremist views. Let’s take doomsday preppers, for example. They honestly think the world is going to end or the apocalypse is coming, and they need to be prepared for it. The fact that other people don’t think the way they do just fuels their conviction and makes them double down on it. [01:54] That’s their reality. And you can’t tell them any different. They’ve created their own world, where they require a bunker with weapons and months worth of canned food, purely by thinking it into reality. It doesn’t matter if others don’t agree with their reality because they’ve become psychologically rigid within the limitation of their own beliefs. Pam: [02:14] Exactly. And because they’ve created that reality, they do things that support it. Doing things that support their reality reinforces that it is real and that reinforces their beliefs about it. But you don’t have to be a prepper to create a new reality with your thoughts. [02:33] In Atomic Habits, James Clear writes that in order to achieve a goal, you have to become the person that does the thing you want to do. You have to make it part of your identity. Because if what you’re trying to do, doesn’t match who you think you are, you’ll sort of sabotage yourself because you won’t think you can or should get what you want. [02:53] You have to align your identity with what you want to achieve. Not wait to achieve it and think it will make you someone else. [03:02] I have a very simple example of this from my own life. I tried to get air quotes in shape every few months for most of my adult life. And I never made it very far because I was always focused on becoming some idealized future version of myself that was disconnected from who I was in the present. I’d workout for a week or even a few months, but I always gave up because I was working out for a version of me that I didn’t really believe could exist. [03:34] A few years ago, I decided to stop trying to change future m
