Yes, and the fake it till you make it advice takes some heat as being inauthentic but I have never seen it this way. It's really visualizing yourself in a better place until your vision becomes reality.

Sports people do this. Before they take that shot, they visualize making the shot. This might work because we misunderstand how fast our brains work. Consciousness is faster than we realize. Or as one of my friends once said, “You're over it whether you know it or not.”
