 "Fake it until you make it"

Today's blog is about the fourth principle of "how to stay motivated". If you have not read the previous principles, click here for the first principle, here for the second principle, and here for the third principle. 

So let's begin now...

The fourth principle is:

4) Fake it:

As I mentioned in my previous blog that the author didn't exactly understand Arnold's plan, this blog or principle will make it clear.🙂

You must be aware of many psychological principles that tell - how lying to ourselves be beneficial most of the time. 

Lemme example with an example, if you feel sad😩 and tell yourself "no, I'm not sad, I'm feeling great, I'm happy🙂" and try to smile forcefully,😁 your brain will receive a fake signal that yes you are feeling happy and in reality, you will start feeling great compare to earlier.

Similarly, if you try to make yourself believe that yes you can do it "I'm very much motivated and I have that courage and strength and I can and I will achieve my goals...etc." or if you fake like Arnold and make yourself believe that you are living your dream life, this thing will keep you motivated and in reality, it will help you fulfill your dreams👍.

Many people suggest that not to be fake or don't be fake, but the actual fact is if you can get a great positive outcome by being fake, then try to be fake (in a limit😑) and unless you don't convert your fake belief into reality🙂.

I personally use this principle everywhere in my life, like, even if I'm scared, I say that I'm not afraid of this or I'm strong.

Let me share a little secret😅 about how I got rid of my stage fear. 

Every time when we use to have celebrations in our school, I use to participate. And lie to me and use to fake in front of my friends by saying that "I'm not scared. I'm not nervous...(etc)" But to be honest, I was sweating from inside and my heart was about to pop from my mouth...

Eventually, I got rid of my stage fear and much more confident now. Not only I got rid of stage fear but also from the fear of insects, injection, public speaking, talking to strangers, and so many others.

I shared this secret so that you guys can know that this method actually works.

Share if you have any similar secrets or stories.🤗

Hope you found this helpful😊. That would be enough for today. Keep faking😜 and spread happiness😁. Bye. take care🤗
