Today I'm going to be talking about something called

Enclothed Cognition, and if you can really understand this,

you can understand how to start

to change your own personal self-belief.

And to start off, I'm gonna tell you a story about a study that

was done that kind of works with this perfectly. It's a study that was done on

children that were between the ages of four and six years old.

And it's what's now been termed and coined as the Batman Effect.

And basically this is the way that it worked.

They took three groups of children,

and they basically had them do these different types of puzzles.

So some of them were just puzzles, some of them were they had to, you know, go in and try to

unlock something with a bunch of different keys when none of the keys actually worked.

And they had the three different groups and it was basically these hard tasks for children to do.

One group would go in, nothing different about them, they would just come in and try to do the really difficult puzzles.

The other group would come in and they would do the puzzles, but they were given the instruction to try to see yourself from the outside watching yourself do it.

So basically, and that's the way they describe it to children, basically in third person.

And what this helped children do is to build a little bit more self-awareness of themselves.

And so is do the puzzles, but just try to view yourself as if you're watching yourself do it.
