Why Acting How You Want to Feel is Important

All of us want to maximize our potential in life. We all want to achieve our goals. We all want to be happy and experience fulfilment. In the end, we all want our dreams to come true. The trick is how can we make that happen? There is a lot of information out there in regard to maximizing your potential, reaching your goals or making your dreams come true. Which bit of information can you believe?

Which one is actually right for you?

Which one works?

One of the best ways to determine what will work for you is through trial and error. You certainly want a technique or program that will provide actual, tangible benefits to the people willing to put that information to work.

One of the best self-improvement techniques out there is acting how you want to feel.

This technique is based on the simple concept that just as thoughts influence actions, actions also have the power to influence thoughts. Many of us go through life letting how we feel dictate our actions. If we feel positive emotions, then we take positive actions that achieve the positive results we desire. However, if we feel negative emotions, then we take negative actions that cause negative ramifications.

We’ve all heard about the power of positive thinking. If you think positive, then you get those powerful, positive results that allow you to reach your goals. The problem is that positive thinking cannot be faked. You can certainly pretend to have a positive attitude. You may even fool the outside world that you are actually positive. However, a fake positive attitude cannot fool the real judge – you. Unless you are actually experiencing positive emotions, you will continue to take negative actions and produce negative results. It’s that simple.

The theory of positive thinking has actually got the concept completely backwards. It’s not positive thinking that’s powerful. It’s actually positive actions that are powerful. You see, when you act in a certain way, you actions have the ability to influence your thoughts. Even if the actions feel forced or awkward, they still have consequences. You still see results from those actions, even if you don’t believe in them. These results then reinforce the strength of those actions. As a result, your actions begin to have an effect on your outlook and your emotions. You begin to feel the way you’ve been acting.

Give it a try.

You’ll soon see that acting how you want to feel can bring about real positive change in your life.
