Act As If

Have you heard that phrase? Act as if…
It’s a psychological tool used in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and personal development. The concept is simple but powerful. Your actions can influence your thoughts and emotions.
It encourages one to act the way their ideal self would. In my case, I act as if I’m a well known author. As if my readers have found me and hunger for more of writing.
It’s one of the things that keeps me going on this journey that often fraught with doubt and disappointment.
So, I’ll just keep acting as if and that gives me the confidence to continue. And one day, it will be true.
