Goal Achievement Framework: Mindset Over Plan
📌 Success in any goal (money, fitness, dating) depends more on the mental model than the specific plan or program.
🔥 If the mental framework is broken, even the perfect program will yield no results; the framework determines success or failure.
💪 The speaker resolved a lifelong struggle with achieving 8% body fat by shifting their mental approach, which they later applied to other areas.

Step 1: Setting Intention - Choosing Reality
🎯 Replace the word "want" with "I choose" when stating a goal; "wanting" signals lack and creates negative energy (spiking cortisol).
✨ Choosing a goal signals to your body that it is attainable, increasing dopamine and motivation.
⚖️ Choose a goal that feels right and aligned for you, rather than adopting external expectations (e.g., choosing 12% body fat instead of just 8%).

Step 2: Dropping Over-Importance and Pedestals
🚫 Do not make your goal the "biggest thing in the world"; placing a goal on a pedestal creates distance and signals you don't have it, leading to self-sabotage.
😌 Accept that it's okay if you don't achieve the goal right now; outcome dependency creates stress and cortisol by triggering a fight-or-flight state.
🔄 The universe can "smack back" when something is put on a pedestal (like a rubber band snapback); accepting the current state allows for flow.

Non-Resistance and Flow
🧘 Embrace non-resistance: fully accept the current moment, learn from setbacks (like overeating), and avoid self-lashing, which perpetuates negative cycles.
🌟 Trust that the universe is always working for you, even in adversity; view setbacks as a seed of equal or greater good, as suggested by Napoleon Hill.
🌊 Flowing with life, rather than fighting against perceived negative events, allows good things to enter your space easily.

Internal Reality and Visualization
🖼️ Utilize a "final slide" visualization (often through hypnosis) to create a clear mental picture of your chosen reality, internalizing the feeling of already achieving the goal.
🔄 Your internal world always mirrors the external world; once the internal reality is set correctly (feeling empowered, abundant), the external follows.
🙏 Combat the feeling of "I need this" or scarcity by cultivating gratitude and focusing on areas of abundance you already possess.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Shift language from desire to declaration: Use "I choose this" instead of "I want this" to change neurochemistry from stress (cortisol) to motivation (dopamine).
➡️ Neutralize pressure by accepting both outcomes: Declare, "I choose this, but I'm good either way," to remove outcome dependency stress that causes self-sabotage.
➡️ Identify and detach from external "shoulds": Determine the reality you genuinely select, as following a path dictated by societal "shoulds" often leads to heaviness and stress.
➡️ Use visualization/hypnosis to internalize the state: Focus on the *feeling* of success (confidence, satisfaction) when visualizing the end goal, normalizing it internally so the external mirrors it with ease.
