Reticular activating system and survival bias

Two years ago, I made a vision board and put on everything I wanted to manifest for my dream life. I’d done enough research to know that manifestation isn’t BS—it’s actually backed by some incredibly impressive neuroscience. I was ready for that science to kick in, and for my life to dramatically change—and then—it didn’t. 

Because I’m a longtime journalist, I investigated why it didn’t work, and what I found SHOCKED me, so that’s what we’re getting into in this episode—the sneaky reasons manifestation might not be working the way you want it to, and exactly how to fix that so all of your greatest dreams and goals can come true. 

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• The three key reasons your manifesting isn't working—and how to fix each one

• How to create an "action board" that's 60,000 times more effective than a vision board

• The nervous system regulation technique you must do before any manifestation practice

• How to use the "reverse gratitude" exercise to shift from a scarcity to an abundance mindset

• The neuroscience behind why manifestation is proven to work (when done correctly)
