๐ง๐คTHE BATMAN EFFECT๐ค๐ง
๐คAre you aware of the meme where people start identifying themselves as batman ? Turns out it is more than a meme. The batman effect means where you pretend to be character like Batman or Barbie to complete a task.
๐งIn a University of Michigan a researcher , Professor Ethan Kross , he completed a study he completed with several colleagues where a sample of 4 and 6 year old children were invited to complete a boring task on computer . The children were instructed to work hard , keep it as long as they could and they were reminded the task were boring . To test their commitment to the cause , the researchers informed the kids that they could take the break whenever they wanted to play a game on tablet .
Group one - Researchers told them to ask themselves , " Am I working hard ? " while they completed the task.
Group Two- Researchers instructed these children to ask themselves , " is y/n working hard ? " .
Group Three - Researchers told these kids children to pretend they were a favourite hardworking character like Batman , Bob the Builder or Dora the explorer . They received a prop like a cape as a visual reminder to act like their character. They were instructed to ask themselves, " Is Batman working hard ? "
Result - Children in group one did not enjoy their task . They took most breaks and their motivation was poor. The second group did a little better . The third group or the Batman group worked harder , took fewer breaks and enjoyed their tasks more than others.
๐คThe batman effect works for not only children but for adults too !! Beyonce has an alter ego " Sasha Fierce " , her alter ego allowed her to be confident . Adele also has an alter ego " Sasha Carter " , her alter ego was a combination of Beyonce's Sasha Fierce and the real music star June Cartar. Adele admitted that her alter ego helped her give her best to every performance during her breakout year. I believe even k-pop idols have alter egos , there are idols who are bubbly and shy in real life but on stage they are confident.
๐งThe Batman effect helps us to reduce anxiety. Adopting an alter ego is an extreme form of self-distancing which involves taking a step back from our immediate feelings to allow us to view a situation more dispassionately. When you think of yourself as a separate identity , it is not you that has to perform the task , it is Batman . It can help you to build confidence, increase concentration , improve your emotional regulation and help you to gain self-control . Your alter ego has no limitations.
๐งSo the next time , you lose your motivation to study ? Pretend you are Rory Gilmore. ( whoever you upto for study inspiration) . You feel you cannot do anything ? Pretend you are Barbie. You feel you cannot dance ? Pretend you are Michael Jackson.

Embody the habits and lifestyle you want to have.
Engage with your past and future self. You are looking at your current version from outside perspective.
Develop the IDAF mindset. You are holding yourself back when you care about what other's think about you.
Please don't be upset about not getting attention from the wrong people. If they fun of you or judged you , the fact they did that shows how lame they are.
Stop explaining yourself to everyone and stop telling others about your goals. They will not get it. If you believe in yourself, you will end up getting where you want to be and everyone around you is not going to be judging they are gonna be clapping.
Follow people who inspire or educate you. It will help you gain something from being on social media instead of scrolling through pointless memes.
You get to decide your emotions. If someone said something hurtful , realise they are not the right person, distance yourself or don't react. Use your pain as motivation.

๐๐จThis post was requested , I hope you liked it . Also , I will make more posts like this for Tam Kaur and The Wizard liz๐๐จ
๐๐บYOU DON'T LIKE YOURSELF? CREATE A NEW VERSION OF YOURSELF๐๐บ
๐INTRODUCTION
The world needs to accept as you are. no ! The world does not owe you anything. People do not owe you anything. We are changing everyday , we are always trying to improve ourselves. No person is the same person as he or she was from the day that they were born. Everything will be okay when you make it okay. Your life is in your hands. Nobody is coming to save you. Not your mom , your dad , your spouse , your children etc. You want your life to change? You have to change.
๐บCREATE ANOTHER VERSION OF YOURSELF ( ALTER EGO)
Beyonce says that whenever she goes on stage she is not Beyonce , she is Sasha Fierce. David Goggins grew up in poverty, gained alot of weight but then he lost weight and ran marathons. They all say to create a new version of yourself.
Liz said that she is lazy , doesn't like attention which comes from social media and stay her in bed all day but all this will get her nowhere so she created a new version. Somebody that is confident , uses her platform , goes after her goals , gets up and goes to gym and somebody with a very hard mindset and tough skin . You need to create a tough skin especially if you are an influencer or a celebrity.
If you start acting like your alter ego , you will become like her. Ask yourself . What does the higher version of yourself look like ? How does she / he look like ? What is she / he wearing ? Who do they date ? What is their career ? How do they spend their time ? What is their hairstyle ?
๐START TAKING SMALL STEPS TOWARDS GREATNESS
Before doing anything , ask yourself , will my highest version do this? If you are eating sugary food, ask yourself If your highest version would eat that dessert. If you don't feel like going to the gym , ask yourself If your highest version would skip gym or go to gym.
๐บWHAT'S YOUR PASSION/ BEST CAREER OPPORTUNITY?
Find your own passion . No one can tell you what your passion is , you need to find it .
God gives us passion because that's what we are supposed to do.
If you have no idea about your passion , what am I really good at ? Every single person is good at something . It might be as small as cooking, managing team or very much into social media.
๐GET HONEST WITH YOURSELF/ STOP SUGAR-COATING
You can't be always kind to yourself, sometimes you need a reality check . Also , ask yourself what your best version of yourself would do ? Go for walk. Listen to podcast.
๐บPRACTICE THE LAW OF ASSUMPTION AND TRUST GOD/THE UNIVERSE
Talk to God as if he is your best friend. Ask God and the universe for the things you want. Don't expect help if you don't ask for help. God puts people in our life to help us , to upgrade us.
๐LET GO OF TRYING TO CONTROL AND START TRUSTING THAT IT WILL HAPPEN.
Ask once , be specific and practice gratitude before asking. Start assuming like the world is designed for you to succeed .
๐บGET INTO THE MINDSET OF : WHAT WOULD THE HIGHEST VERSION OF MYSELF DO ?
You walk into a room , you have a meeting or a presentation. You feel nervous. Ask yourself : what would the highest version of myself do ? Shoulders back , walk into the room and start talking. Wherever you go , think that everyone is in love with you , it will make you confident.
You have to tell yourself affirmations . Look into the mirror and say " I am powerful . I am amazing. I am going to kill this day ." Ask God to help you and stand by me .
๐ACCEPT THAT RECOVERY IS NOT LINEAR AND BE GRATEFUL FOR THE BAD DAYS.
It takes accountability. Going through the progress of looking at yourself differently.
๐บFALL IN LOVE WITH THE PROGRESS , NOT THE GOAL.
Know that the bad day is a blessing. How will we appreciate good days if we have no bad days ?
If you want an expensive watch , the watch itself doesn't fulfill you , it's the process towards the watch & the anticipation. If you want to lose weight , going to gym regularly and seeing the scale going down, Feeling healthier and better. That is the process. That is happiness.
๐STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AND START ACTUALLY DOING IT
Do not tell anyone about your ambitions .Show them what you are doing .
If you tell big dreams to small minded people , they will never support you because they do not understand. They have not done it themselves
๐บDON'T TALK ABOUT IT UNTIL IT IS DONE.
The big issue with people is that they want to talk before it happened. Why are you putting evil eye on yourself?
" What people don't know they can't ruin "
Be private. You never know who is praying for your downfall.
Don't talk about things you want to accomplish before you accomplished them.
There are so many little things in your day-to-day life that you didnโt even know impacted your mood, but they are so crucial to understanding how and why you feel the way you feel.
Humans are like plants, we are what we absorb. You wouldnโt be surprised that a plant dies in an environment with no sun & no water, so why would you be surprised that you canโt thrive in an unmotivating environment?
๐๐ The weather - This one is obvious. We humans really are like plants, in that we need sun to thrive. Have you ever noticed how much more pleasant people are during those first few sunny days of the year? Itโs biological, we love the sun. So when itโs sunny outside, even if you think itโs too hot, go out and enjoy the sunshine! If you stay inside all summer, don't complain about being tired and unenergized.
๐๐ The music you listen to - I know you love to listen to sad break up songs and daydream, but itโs not good for your mind. If you donโt believe me, do a little experiment: one day, wake up to the saddest song you like to listen to, and the next, wake up to the happiest, danciest song you like. See how much of a difference it makes in your mood.
๐๐ The people around you - If all of your friends constantly complain about their lives (justifiably or not), then youโre going to constantly complain too. If all of your friends always focus on the positive, laugh and smile through hard times, youโre going to adopt that mindset too. The thing is not to ditch your friends if theyโre negative (to themselves, if theyโre mean thatโs another thing), but to be the one to influence them towards a better attitude through being mindful of what you feel and say.
๐๐ Your living space - Don't even bother wondering why you are always distracted or unmotivated to do homework if your room is messy. Don't bother to ask yourself why you can't find discipline if your house is dirty and unkept. The space you live in is a direct reflection of your mind, you'll see how much more clear-headed and motivated you will feel once it's clean and organized.
๐๐ Your digital space - Having an organized & simplistic phone/laptop is key to make you see things clearer when being on them, and avoiding useless screen time (which is notoriously bad for us). That means deleting apps you don't use or don't serve you a positive purpose (games, negative social media platforms, etc).
Please tell me in the comments if you feel I have left an important point out, I will be happy to edit this post to include more valuable advice!
How do I feel when I spend time with this person? What emotions or sensations come up for me when Iโm around them?
After being with this person, do I feel more like myselfโor less? What does my energy or mood say about the effect they have on me?
Do I feel heard and valued in our conversations, or do I often feel dismissed, interrupted, or overlooked?
When Iโm with this person, do I feel genuinely understoodโor do I feel the need to explain, justify, or hide parts of myself?
Do they do most of the talking in our conversations? How do I feel about it?
What role does this person play in my life, and what role do I play in theirs? Do these roles feel balanced? If not, how does that imbalance affect me?
In what ways do our goals and motivations align or differ, and how does that impact our connection?
Do I notice them putting me downโsubtly or directlyโto elevate themselves? Do they often try to position themselves as morally superior in our conversations? If yes, how do I respond to it when it happens?
Do I see myself sticking with them in the future? Or do I feel that I would be better without them in my life and why?
When I imagine my future, does this person fit into that vision in a healthy, supportive way? Or do I feel I would grow more freely without their presenceโand what makes me feel that?
Am I holding on to this relationship out of love, habit, fear, or hope? What would it mean for meโemotionally and practicallyโif I chose to move forward without them?
Managing relationships with people can be difficult when they aren't a right fit for you, and taking the decision to cut them out of your life or not is a hard thing to do. Hopefully these prompts can help you see things clearer when it comes to that <3
