In this episode, Yvonne is joined by Sabina Brennan a health psychologist, neuroscientist, podcaster and best-selling author. Over the years she has helped thousands of people to make looking after their brain health a part of their daily routine. Enabling them to think more clearly and tap into the true power of their brains, including the ability to manifest.

She explains why for some people manifestation is almost second nature, while others struggle to recognise that it is even possible. Sabina and Yvonne also discuss why we all tend to focus on the negative and believe things always go wrong for us and why we have to change that habit.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 ·         Even sceptical people can become manifesters.

·         The practice of manifestation is not wishful thinking. It brings clarity about your goals, enables you to actually notice the opportunities, and then take action to achieve them.

·         Without realising it everyone is already manifesting in their day-to-day lives.

·         Protecting us is the primary function of our brains. It is primed to notice the threats, and the negative, and make that our focus.

·         The brain can only process so much information, so its salience filter skims over the positive things and focuses on what could do us harm.

·         When we allow our brain bias to filter out the positive things we enter a cycle of pessimism and cynicism.

·         Setting goals is a highly effective way to train your brain to notice opportunities and notice more positive things.

·         You need to be clear about what you want. If you are not your brain does not know what to pay attention to and how to change.

·         If you want to build a new future, build it on solid foundations, and work on yourself.

·         The more self-aware you are the easier it is to find your passion and set the right goals.

·         Self-acceptance and self-worth play an important role in manifestation.

·         When you stick to the small goals you stick to the big ones.

·         Interrogate your self-beliefs. Most of the limiting ones are not based on reality.

·         Being kind to yourself and others is incredibly empowering.

BEST MOMENTS

“Manifesting is fundamentally about change. It's about changing your thinking, your behaviour, your reality and your brain.”

“Manifesting is gaining clarity around your goals, by visualizing them, and then by developing the discipline to take action, to remain focused on and attain those goals.”

“ Opportunities can be straight in front of your face, and you don't see them because you're focusing on something else. You're focusing on the negative.”

“Amazing things happen in your brain when you are in flow that allows you to be creative, allow you to freely be yourself without negativity.”
