When there's something you want to learn. When you suddenly have to do something almost on the spur of the moment. When you want to significantly improve your abilities. When there's something you absolutely cannot lose.

What do you all do?

In my case, there's one thing I've been doing since way back when.

That is to 'become' someone.

I imagine you're thinking, 'I don't know what you're talking about.' lol

I think some people can expect certain results, so please give it a try.

There are many wonderful people in the world.

In any field, there are people called professionals. And if you can act like them, you yourself can become a professional. That's an extreme example, but.

So, for example, let's say you're bad at presentations, and tomorrow you have to stand on a presentation stage.

In such cases, you become someone who is good at presentations.

For example, Steve Jobs. Words that captivate people's hearts with concise language. You just need to imagine yourself becoming Steve Jobs.

You imitate their mindset and way of being.

When you act like someone else, your psychological state also becomes similar to theirs. In fact, your mindset and way of being have a significant impact on your actions and results, don't they? All human actions are driven by the mind and the way of being.

Therefore, by becoming someone, you trick your mind and take a step forward in a kind of ecstasy.

Then, if you can truly trick your mind with belief, your abilities will genuinely improve. And they will improve quite dramatically. It's true.

Actually, I myself feel like I've overcome many difficult situations by doing that. lol

Of course, it doesn't increase your knowledge, fundamental abilities, or skills, so it's a matter of mindset.

However, everyone should possess something superior to their current average ability. Yet, due to their mindset, methods, and way of being, they are unable to fully demonstrate it. I believe that's the case most of the time.

That's why feelings are truly important, and it's crucial to have a strong mind and way of thinking. If your mind is strong, you can maximize your inherent abilities.

'Becoming' (or 'acting as if') is a way of thinking that makes it easier to force one's mind into the zone.

Are you aware that people have a mental state called 'the zone'?

It's a state where everything goes well, in other words, the ultimate peak performance.

Athletes, in particular, tend to enter the zone easily, so many who have played sports have likely experienced it.

In sports manga, it's definitely like entering a special move. Lol

I remember back when I played sports, everyone seemed to think the zone was a fictional special move from some manga, and I used to say, 'It's not like that!'

In other words, if everyone could enter a mental state like the zone, they should be able to temporarily enhance their abilities. They should be able to draw out their inherent abilities to their maximum potential.

The act of 'becoming' helps you trick your own mind into acting like a professional, and in that somewhat ecstatic state, it helps you unleash your maximum abilities.

It's like training wheels for entering the zone.

This way of thinking actually became ingrained in me when I was playing sports.

I used to get nervous easily, originally. When it came to the actual performance, my mental state would collapse, and sometimes it felt like I couldn't even play the game.

That's why, to overcome my weak mental state, I unconsciously started adopting the action and mindset of 'becoming' (or 'acting as if').

Since then, I've always been helped by that method in times of crisis.

I believe whether it works or not, and whether it suits someone or not, completely depends on the individual, but it might be effective, so please give it a try.
