This made me laugh out loud, Sarah, "But a recent study found that people who succeed in achieving their goals actually visualized the worst-case scenario of what would happen if they didn’t achieve their goal." I think this is what my mom used to call using reverse psychology. When one of we siblings was being ornery or whiney, she said she would use reverse psychology on us. I don't quite remember how she used it or why it worked, but I love the term to this day. Your post brought back that happy funny reminder.
Wow, this really sticks with me: "But a recent study found that people who succeed in achieving their goals actually visualized the worst-case scenario of what would happen if they didn’t achieve their goal."

It works soooo well. I credit all my success to scaring myself by thinking about what will happen if I don't! It is funny.
That’s wild! I’m too scared to try it. For me, the ‘what if’ syndrome ): But it certainly can be used as an energizer!

It's striking, isn't it? Changed my world. It works so well because all that positive visualization never really took root in me.
I'm an expert at visualizing the worst-case scenario. I've got that habit down pat.
You're set!
Great reminders thank you (reading this during a writing block, don't be mad)
Perfect reading for you.
