How to Disappear and Transform Yourself

How to Disappear and Transform Yourself
by Feel Real Good (9 mins)

  • Disappear to Transform: To successfully transform yourself, it is crucial to disappear from the public eye by avoiding sharing personal information, only caring about your own opinions, and keeping your ambitions and progress private.
  • Commit to the Process: Focus on your goals and make every waking hour intentional toward achieving them. Embrace the struggles and pain of personal growth, using them to strengthen your character and determination.
  • Reprogram Your Mind: Embrace the transformation journey by shifting your mindset to find happiness in working in the shadows. Ultimately, you may discover that the desire to reappear in society diminishes as you find fulfillment and confidence in your new life.
