Character Invention Theory

It’s pretty magical that we can just close our eyes and imagine who we want to be in hypothetical circumstances and that feeling can feel just as real as it would in reality.

This brain hack is super underutilized:

Create altar-egos. Boost your confidence.

The strategy: Identify situations where you want to be your best, envision the character you'd like to embody, and practice "flipping the switch" to become that character when needed.

It's a powerful way to conquer fear and self-doubt!

Beyoncé's Sasha Fierce and Kobe Bryant's Black Mamba are perfect examples of character invention in action.

Top performers across various fields use this technique to rise to the occasion and unlock their full potential.

🛠️ To incorporate character invention into your life:

(1) Identify the situations where you want to excel, (2) Envision the character you'd like to embody (3) Practice turning on that character in those situations.

Consistent practice is key. Character invention can help us show up as the best version of ourselves in different situations throughout the day.

So go embrace the magic of your mind :)
