02:49
happens it's like a motivational light turns on  pushing us to get moving scientists call this  
20
169640
10200
03:00
creating a necessity to act and that's exactly  what we're after that's what we are after that's  
21
180400
13920
03:14
what we're after what are you after what I'm  after is so this is a common phrase what are you  
22
194320
6320
03:20
after that's what I'm after and that means that's  what I'm seeking that's what I desire that's what  
23
200640

26
224760
8480
03:53
to act a feeling that says I I must do it I  must do it let's dive into the whole visualizing  
27
233240
8680
04:01
success thing let's dive into if you dive into  something you go deeper you study it more you get  
28
241920
13960
04:15
curious about it and you dive into it this whole  the whole visualizing success sometimes when we're  
29
255880
8840
04:24
speaking we'll also make the uh quotation marks  let's dive into the whole visualizing success
30
264720
6560
04:31
thing all right a lot of self-help books tell you  that if you just picture what you want imagine  
31
271280
14160
04:45
picture if you just picture what you want it'll  magically come true it'll magically come true

33
299280
4720
05:04
true that would be awesome right that'd be awesome  right but the research doesn't really back that up  
34
304000
14360
05:18
but the research doesn't really back that up  back it up if if you back it up you support  
35
318360
6800
05:25
it the research doesn't support that thinking H  still however Vis Vis visualization visualization  
36
325160
16520
05:41
visualization visualization I can't even say it  still visualization can be super helpful if you  
37
341680
10320
05:52
focus on the steps you need to take to get there  rather than oh there's the key key words rather  
38
352000
9720
06:01
than just dreaming about the end result okay so  rather than just dreaming about the end result  
39
361720
11160
06:12

43
401320
8400
06:49
if you focus on the steps you need to get there  rather than just dreaming about the end result but  
44
409720
9880
06:59
by imagining the daily actions you need to tackle  to reach your goal that was kind of clunky there
