WOOP_Wish, Outcomes, Obstacles, Plan

In this video, I share a brilliant strategy from Gabriele Oettingen  - WOOP  -  WISH, OUTCOME, OBSTACLE, PLAN.  It's simple and very effective and 100% backed by science.

"WOOP is a science-based mental strategy that people can use to find and fulfill their wishes, set preferences, and change their habits."

WOOP is a strategy developed by Gabriele Oettingen in her great book 'Rethinking Positive Thinking'

In her book Rethinking Positive Thinking, she claims that imagining our ideal life vision-board style is insufficient. While it's critical to begin with a picture of our ideal lives, we must then "rub it up against reality."

She invented a system called "WOOP" to assist us in manifesting our dreams. Here's a basic rundown:

The letter W stands for Wish.
The letter O stands for Outcome (or Benefits—sort of like the "why").
Obstacles are represented by the letter O.
The letter P stands for Plan.

You can create WOOP's for major goals or day-to-day priorities.  It's a very powerful tool.
