Manifestation 101: How to boss your brain into getting what you want

Manifestation 101: How to boss your brain into getting what you want
Manifestation – you’ve probably seen it all over your social feeds. Maybe you’re into it, maybe you’re not. Maybe you think it’s all just a bit woo-woo. 
 
But guess what? There’s actually some solid science behind it, and it can truly change your life.
 
So, we’re breaking down the brain stuff behind manifestation for you, and giving our best tips on how you can get started (no witchcraft or wizardry required). 
 
What is manifestation?
 
Manifestation is the process of turning your thoughts, desires, and goals into reality through focused intention and belief. 
 
It’s about aligning your mindset with what you want to achieve and taking actionable steps to make it happen. 
 
It’s basically a  mental workout that trains your brain to attract the things you want.
 

What manifestation isn’t 

  It’s Not Magic: Manifestation isn’t about wishful thinking or magic spells. It’s about using the power of your mind and taking real steps towards your goals.
  It Takes Time: Manifestation isn’t an overnight process. Stay patient and consistent, and trust that your efforts will pay off.

 

Why it works

Manifestation works because it gets your brain in gear and your actions on point. When you zero in on what you want and start making moves to get there, you create this feedback loop in your brain that keeps pushing you forward.
 
Basically, manifestation is about getting your thoughts, actions, and feelings vibing together to hit your goals.
 

The science behind it

Sounds a bit woo-woo? Well, there’s some legit science backing this up! Here’s how it works:

Neuroplasticity: Our brains are pretty amazing at adapting. When you focus on a specific thought or goal, your brain starts forming new pathways to support that focus. Over time, this can change how you think and act, making it easier to reach your goals.
Reticular Activating System (RAS): Think of your RAS as your brain’s personal assistant. It’s a bundle of nerves in your brainstem that helps you filter out unnecessary information and zero in on what’s important. When you set a clear intention, your RAS gets to work, showing you opportunities at every corner that align with your goals.
Positive Psychology: Studies show that a positive mindset can significantly impact your success. By focusing on positive outcomes and visualising your goals, you’re more likely to stay motivated and take the steps needed to achieve them.

 

How to start manifesting your dreamz

Ready to give manifesting a go for yourself? Follow these steps:

1. Set Clear Intentions: Like, really clear. Be specific about what you want. Vague goals lead to vague results. Write down your goals and be as detailed as possible.
  2. Visualise Getting What You Want: Spend a few minutes each day visualising yourself achieving your goals. Picture the details and try to really feel the emotions of your success as if it’s already happening.
3. Use Affirmations: Positive affirmations kind of like pep talks for your brain. They help reinforce your goals and boost your confidence. Try repeating them daily to keep your mindset on track.

For example: “I am capable of achieving my goals and attracting positive outcomes.” Say it every morning to start your day with a positive vibe.
4. Take Action: Manifestation isn’t just about thinking – it’s about doing. Break your goals into actionable steps and start working towards them.
  5. Practice Gratitude: Being thankful for what you have can attract more positive experiences into your life. Keep a gratitude journal and write down things you’re grateful for each day.
