That fitness example in this podcast really hit home well. "I am" definitely one of those persons who is very athletic and into fitness, and if I were to wake up one morning stuck in the body of a fat guy... I would definitely FREAK OUT a little bit at first, but then I would be totally confident that my "fitness consciousness" would smoothly carry me into physical fitness over time, simply because, inside of my mind, healthy and fit is my very real vision of my physical body... period. Having already done it, I know exactly what it looks like, what it feels like, and what it takes to get there. All of my actions would automatically tie back to that physically fit self-image.
So this podcast makes sense to me... instead of being "the fat guy" financially, socially, etc. I should start building my identity as the rich guy, the cool guy, or whatever else I want to be, and start closing the gap in all the ways Steve mentions.
This is a lot of stuff to play with! And very, very exciting! Thanks Steve!
