8 - Pychological Halloweenism for Goals

8 - Pychological Halloweenism for Goals

We explore the intriguing concept of pretending to be someone else to gain new perspectives and achieve goals. Did you know that research indicates that imagining how someone else would feel or act in a given situation can influence our perception and behavior in that situation? It’s a fascinating idea that we’ll be diving into today.

But that’s not all! We’ll also be discussing how play-acting can be beneficial for individuals struggling with shame, abuse, and chronic rheumatoid arthritis. By stepping into the shoes of someone else, individuals can gain new insights into their situations and achieve their goals.

We’ll be sharing some personal rules and guidelines that you can use to achieve your goals and find an alter ego that can provide encouragement and support. And let’s not forget the importance of pretending to have fun, just like in the famous quote from Batman Begins: “It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.”
