What fake it till you make it really means.
Subject: Self identity.
-Subject: Self identity.
We’ve discussed what is a frame before, today we’d talk more on framing and using that on yourself by setting a self identity. A frame like a outer shell for you to grow into, you’d treat the person as if he’s already the famed person, usually if you force a frame on a person the person with the higher will power will win. For example if your parents want you to become a kid that has good grades at school , they will treat you like you are already are and will act accordingly, they will just expect you to study and there will be no physical forcing since if you took the frame as your identity, A student with good grades naturally studies!
Frames could also be applied to outcome of events. For example my grandmother passed recently, you can frame it as a bad event and cry because that identity requires you to, Or frame it as a peaceful thing since it’s better to move on rather then getting tortured by sickness. But what is exciting is that you can apply frames to yourself, Take a piece of paper and write down what habits they person you want to become has, does he workout everyday? If so when? I find this much easier to workout what are the best things to do and naturally do it, have you ever forced yourself to practice drawing or work out? How long does it last? Are you motivated? There will be war since your mind likes old things, You new identity is challenging the old identity you had, But if you slowly do things that suggest you are another person your mind will be convinced! That’s why little things are just as important then big moves. I think this is what fake it till you make it really means.
Today the frame I’ve applied on myself is ‘An obsessed artist.’ I’d feel and smell like that person does, My mind is more willing to draw and paint for hours and hours on end since I’m an ‘obsessed artist’. There;s this video about CT Fletcher getting big arms, If I want to make good art as bad as that I’d make it. Imagine that’s you in the video instead of CT getting what you want, It could be money, skills, things. But that imagine in your mind every night and day, see what happens. Happy framing!
