The “As-If” Principle: Act First, Feel Later — Build Identity Through Action W/ David Nieves (01.08.26)   In this AM Power, the speaker shares the “As-If” principle: don’t wait to feel motivated—act first and the feelings follow. He explains that action → motivation → identity → results, using examples from psychology, posture/movement, public speaking, and fitness.
