0:00:01.501,0:00:03.487
They took three groups of people

0:00:03.487,0:00:05.356
and put them on a basketball court,

0:00:05.356,0:00:07.367
and they just had them do three throws

0:00:07.367,0:00:09.586
and saw how many points they scored.

0:00:09.586,0:00:11.319
And what they did at the end

0:00:11.319,0:00:13.756
is they went through group A, B and C

0:00:13.756,0:00:16.423
and gave them different instructions.

0:00:16.423,0:00:17.547
They said the group A:

0:00:17.547,0:00:19.592
"For the next 30 days, I want you to

0:00:19.592,0:00:21.502
practice for an hour a day. Go on

0:00:21.502,0:00:24.391
the court and practice those free throws."

0:00:24.651,0:00:25.879
They said the group B:

0:00:25.879,0:00:27.515
"I don't want you to go out on the

0:00:27.515,0:00:29.373
court but I still want you to practice

0:00:29.373,0:00:30.452
every single day,

0:00:30.452,0:00:32.785
but without touching the ball.

0:00:32.785,0:00:34.835
I just want you to practice in your mind.

0:00:34.855,0:00:36.099
See yourself,

0:00:36.146,0:00:37.614
visualise yourself

0:00:37.614,0:00:40.086
successfully throwing free throws."

0:00:40.354,0:00:42.228
And they went to group C and said:

0:00:42.228,0:00:44.094
"We don't want you to practice at all.

0:00:44.094,0:00:45.782
For the next 30 days, don't even

0:00:45.782,0:00:47.774
think about basketball. Don't touch

0:00:47.774,0:00:48.742
a basketball."

0:00:48.742,0:00:50.592
They followed up 30 days later

0:00:50.592,0:00:52.456
and they saw surprising results.

0:00:52.456,0:00:54.963
Group A, who practiced each day for

0:00:54.963,0:00:56.706
an hour a day on the court,

0:00:56.706,0:00:59.506
they improved 24%, right?

0:00:59.506,0:01:02.515
Because practice makes progress.

0:01:02.515,0:01:04.172
Practice makes progress.

0:01:04.283,0:01:06.431
Group C, which is the group that

0:01:06.431,0:01:08.068
didn't touch a basketball and

0:01:08.068,0:01:10.498
they didn't even think about basketball,

0:01:10.498,0:01:11.817
there was no progress.

0:01:11.817,0:01:13.519
No practice, no progress.

0:01:13.708,0:01:16.258
What was striking though was group B.

0:01:16.258,0:01:18.207
Those individuals that

0:01:18.207,0:01:19.592
didn't go on the court,

0:01:19.592,0:01:21.209
they didn't put on their sneakers

0:01:21.209,0:01:22.771
and throw a ball, they just

0:01:22.771,0:01:24.522
practice successfully in their mind,

0:01:24.584,0:01:28.491
they improved 23%,

0:01:28.491,0:01:31.107
just 1% less than the people that

0:01:31.107,0:01:33.505
actually went on the court to practice.

0:01:33.505,0:01:35.706
I mean, this is evidence that

0:01:35.706,0:01:37.439
your mind is powerful.

0:01:37.439,0:01:38.950
You'll find that athletes

0:01:38.950,0:01:39.977
like Roger Bannister,

0:01:39.977,0:01:42.724
they will visualise themselves having success.

0:01:42.724,0:01:44.719
So you'll find a great athlete,

0:01:44.719,0:01:46.581
they don't just do physical training,

0:01:46.581,0:01:48.821
they mentally train themselves to see

0:01:48.821,0:01:50.895
the result in advance.

0:01:50.895,0:01:53.235
So with this lesson, what

0:01:53.235,0:01:55.912
I want you to do is practice the art

0:01:55.912,0:01:57.410
of visualisation.

0:01:57.410,0:02:00.448
I want you to imagine the perfect day.

0:02:00.448,0:02:03.826
What would a limitless day be like for you

0:02:03.826,0:02:05.877
from the moment you get up

0:02:05.877,0:02:07.446
to when you go to bed.

0:02:07.446,0:02:09.092
Because if you can see it here

0:02:09.092,0:02:10.966
you can create it out here.

0:02:10.966,0:02:12.983
Because what you vividly imagine

0:02:12.983,0:02:14.114
you're rehearsing.

0:02:14.114,0:02:16.206
One of the challenges is

0:02:16.206,0:02:18.446
a lot of people use their visualisation to

0:02:18.446,0:02:21.015
get the results they don't want in life

0:02:21.015,0:02:23.671
and by visualising it over and over again,

0:02:23.671,0:02:26.315
they're actually preparing and rehearsing

0:02:26.315,0:02:27.699
for failure.

0:02:27.699,0:02:29.802
Visualising all the things that can

0:02:29.802,0:02:31.815
go wrong, all the things they're fearing

0:02:31.815,0:02:33.525
and then their attention goes there

0:02:33.525,0:02:36.128
and they're mentally rehearsing failing

0:02:36.128,0:02:38.197
on stage, or failing on that exam,

0:02:38.197,0:02:40.223
or failing when they're going to meet

0:02:40.223,0:02:42.570
that person on that date. And they're

0:02:42.570,0:02:44.898
practicing in their mind.

0:02:45.031,0:02:46.915
Here is your lesson:

0:02:46.915,0:02:49.554
as you're going through and constructing

0:02:49.554,0:02:52.390
your limitless day, you're rehearsing that

0:02:52.390,0:02:53.917
and your attention goes there.

0:02:53.917,0:02:55.909
Remember that your feelings are

0:02:55.909,0:02:57.622
the language of your body and that

0:02:57.622,0:03:00.205
your thoughts are the language of your mind.

0:03:00.365,0:03:03.427
My goal for you to become limitless is to

0:03:03.427,0:03:05.511
imagine your perfect day,

0:03:05.511,0:03:07.774
your perfect moment. I want you to

0:03:07.774,0:03:11.858
imagine it, visualise it, see it, feel it,

0:03:11.858,0:03:13.357
believe in it, and then

0:03:13.357,0:03:15.372
work daily for it.
