      Magic thinking, basically if you think hard about something then it has a higher chance of happening. I.e. if you think hard about a new mercedes, you somehow might get it.

        that is not how it works. you envision yourself with the end goal of what you want. envelope yourself in the feelings of this future version of yourself and feel the emotions of that person and project those feelings into yourself. be that person, how would they act, what decisions would they make, what would they say to people around them? be that person and you get what you want you ignoramus.

        it’s not magic
