For this episode, Yvonne sits down with the neuroscientist Anne-Sophie Fluri, to discuss the role manifestation can play in rewiring the brain. A process that enables you to free yourself from the thought patterns, behaviours and habits that are holding you back. They explain the science behind this and share practical ways to incorporate manifestation and other techniques into your daily life.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The way we think, and therefore act, as adults is impacted by the way those in authority taught us to think about ourselves as children. Negative thought patterns can be unlearned. Manifestation, when done properly, is a really effective way to goal set. Visualisation is a powerful part of manifestation. Especially visualising yourself taking each step needed to achieve something. Not everyone finds visualising easy, but you can learn it. How is shared in the episode. Positive affirmations are not effective if you feel you are lying to yourself, which is why you need to tweak the language so that your affirmations are realistic. Your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions must be aligned. Recognise that things can go wrong, don´t think too much about this. Whatever you consume before bed is more likely to be consolidated in your memory. Essential oils used at bedtime help to encode memories. Stress is contagious and damaging. Take time off. Make sure it is a complete break.
