Episode notes
Three Steps To Rewire A Habit
- Raise awareness of the thought or habit you want to change by bringing it from unconscious to conscious.
- Use focused attention, deliberate practice, and accountability to form new neural pathways.
Why Visualization Actually Works
- Visualization works because the brain poorly distinguishes vivid imagined events from real ones.
- Combine visualization with action and gratitude to shift mindset and behaviour.
Turn Vision Boards Into Action Boards
- Make an action board, visualise it daily through all senses, and give gratitude as if it's real.
- Gratitude boosts oxytocin and moves you from scarcity to abundance mindsets.
