Manifestation requires more than just wishful thinking—it demands a scientific approach that aligns our beliefs, attention, and actions with specific outcomes. We explore the neuroscience behind manifestation and provide a practical five-step protocol to make it work in your life.
• Manifestation is the process of aligning beliefs, attention, and actions with specific outcomes
• The reticular activating system (RAS) filters information based on what we're focused on
• Neuroplasticity allows our thoughts and intentions to physically reshape our brain's structure
• Mirror neurons and embodiment help normalize our desired version of ourselves
• Energetic congruence ensures our emotions align with our desired outcomes
• Clarify your outcome by writing it down specifically as if it's already happening
• Spend two minutes daily visualizing your goal and anchoring it with a physical cue
• Journal as the version of you who has already achieved your goal
• Take daily micro-actions that align with your desired outcome
• Regulate your nervous system to feel safe receiving what you want
• Manifestation combines intention, aligned action, and nervous system safety

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hey everyone, welcome to this week's episode of the
Create your Day podcast.
I'm your host, jen Cody, and,as always, I'm so happy you're
here.
If it's your first time here,welcome.
If it is not your first timehere, welcome back.
I am happy that you chose tojoin us again.
So what are we talking abouttoday?
Today, we are speaking aboutmanifestation.
This is something that I haveconsistently spoken about in the
(00:40):
way of saying that we can'tjust try to manifest things by
thinking about them.
We can't just sit and visualizeand then wonder why nothing's
happening.
The reason I always approachmanifestation from that
perspective is because I'm superaction-oriented.
(01:00):
I believe that we need to takeaction in order to actually
bring our goals into existence,and manifesting is part of it.
But how do we actually do thatis in taking action.
So I 100% am sticking to that.
However, what we're going totalk about today is the science
(01:21):
behind manifesting, because,while we have to take those
action steps, it is in thescience of manifesting that we
put ourselves in the mindset andin the position to actually do
those actions, to take thataction and be in the correct
frame of mind to have thoseactions bring our goals into
(01:45):
fruition.
And there is a science to it.
So when we talk aboutmanifesting in the past, I've
always spoken about it as oneside being just sitting,
visualizing, chanting and thenwondering why nothing's
happening, and the other side istaking all the action
underneath to bring it forth.
What's actually happening inthe middle, though?
(02:06):
So this is where the sciencecomes in.
It's not about the vision board.
It's not just about sitting andthinking.
It's not magic.
This is not think prettythoughts and wait for the
universe to send you a Venmo.
It's absolutely not bypassingreality.
We're not pretendingeverything's fine when it's not.
(02:27):
We're really digging into thescience behind manifesting.
Why does it work?
How do our brains and ournervous systems react and what
role do they play and why?
None of that matters if youdon't actually take action.
So have you ever tried tomanifest something and ended up
(02:47):
feeling frustrated, feelingstuck or thinking like what did
I do to make the universe hateme?
This episode is for you, solet's start by talking about
what manifestation actually is.
I want to redefine manifestationin a way that your logical,
high-achieving brain can getbehind.
(03:09):
So manifestation is the processof aligning your beliefs, your
attention and your actions witha specific outcome.
I'll say that againManifestation is the process of
aligning your beliefs, yourattention and your actions with
a specific outcome.
(03:30):
So it's not about controllingthe universe.
It's about actually rewiringyour brain, specifically
something called your reticularactivating system, or RAS.
This is the part of your brainthat is filtering out which
information gets through andwhich information gets ignored.
(03:50):
So the more clearly you candefine what you're looking to
achieve, what you actually wantto bring into your life, and the
more you emotionally connect toit, the more your brain starts
noticing opportunities thatsupport that outcome.
So, to put this in reallysimple terms that you can
understand immediately, I wantyou to think about this as if
(04:13):
you were trying to buy a red car.
All of a sudden, everywhere yougo, you see red cars.
Every single time you turn acorner, there's more red cars.
Those red cars were alwaysthere, you just were not tuned
into them before.
So manifestation is when yourbrain is doing the same thing,
except for your goals, not forthe car you're trying to buy or
(04:36):
the lottery numbers that you'rechoosing.
You know, like my mom alwaystalks about her favorite number,
her favorite number, her luckynumber, and how she sees it
everywhere, no-transcript.
I also am with her when thosenumbers are around, but I'm not
(04:57):
tuned into it so I don't noticethem as much.
So let's talk about theneuroscience and energy of
manifesting, because what'sactually happening behind the
scenes when you manifestsomething?
And there's a few things goingon the first one is
neuroplasticity.
This is when your thoughts andyour intentions are literally
(05:19):
shaping your brain's structure.
Repetition of new beliefsequals stronger neural pathways,
and the way that I like todescribe this this is not
something I came up with.
I heard it somewhere years ago.
But if you imagine, like apatch of mud right, really,
really packed mud, and a singledrop of water keeps falling in
(05:42):
the same place, eventually itcreates a pathway right, and you
can picture that little drop ofwater making its way through
the mud and every drop thatfollows takes that same pathway.
That's what we're doing to thepathways in our brain when we
focus on one thing, the same waythat drop of water focuses on
(06:02):
that one spot.
Our thoughts focusing on onething shapes our brain's
structure differently, and thatis called neuroplasticity.
You heard me mention earlierthe RAS, the reticular
activating system.
What do we do with that?
How do we actually make thatwork for us?
Well, we train it byvisualizing, by journaling, by
(06:24):
declaring what we want, byputting it out there.
This starts filtering our worldthrough that lens, like the red
car, like the lucky number.
It starts opening our mind toseeing all the things around us
that support what we arevisualizing.
What are we journaling?
What are we declaring that wewant to bring into the world?
(06:45):
Next, we're going to talk aboutmirror neurons and embodiment.
So what I'm talking about hereis that when you act as if
something is already true, akafake it till you make it, your
body and your nervous systemstart to normalize that version
of you.
So think about someone that maybe really nervous to go out on
(07:07):
stage and speak.
If you start to act as if thisis a normal thing for you, that
you are the greatest speaker,your body and your nervous
system start to normalize that.
They start to just have you actas if that is true and your
nerves can start to dissipate alittle bit.
So that's what mirror neuronsand embodiment is about.
(07:30):
And then, lastly, we're going tospeak about the energetic
congruence.
This is when your emotions areacting like tuning forks, when
you're trying to attractsomething like abundance but
you're vibrating in scarcity.
Your actions are going toreflect that.
Same thing with everything elsewe're trying to accomplish.
If you are like my daughterright now is training for a
(07:52):
marathon, if she's trying toattract that energy and that
mindset but she's acting as ifshe is never going to be able to
accomplish it, her actions andher results are going to reflect
that.
It's going to cause her to notwork as hard, to not train as
hard.
But if she focuses on being theperson that already can win
(08:15):
that marathon well, not win thatmarathon but can finish that
marathon then her body and hernervous system are going to
normalize that for her and hertraining is going to reflect it
and her results are going toreflect it.
And this is the intersection.
This is the intersection wherespiritual meets strategic.
(08:35):
So, yes, manifesting can comeacross sometimes as a little
woo-woo, but there is realscience behind it.
So if your inner world isrunning right now on fear and
scarcity and you're constantlycaught in those loops, no amount
of journaling is going tooverride that.
You have to actually changeyour internal set point.
(08:58):
You have to change where it isall coming from.
And how do you do that withintegrity?
How do you do that withoutfeeling.
I mean, I guess I want to saylike a fraud.
I'm not sure if that's exactlywhat I mean, but how do we use
this in real life?
Let's talk about realscience-backed manifesting
protocol.
(09:18):
Let's talk about realscience-backed manifesting
protocol.
You know we can hold ourcrystals and just pray for the
best, but this is something thatI want you to be able to really
understand the science behind,so that you can think of the
next thing that you're trying tobring into your life, the next
thing that you want to manifest,and actually have a plan to
(09:38):
bring that forward.
So here's your first step.
I want you to clarify theoutcome, and this means writing
it down like it's alreadyhappening.
Your brain needs you to bespecific.
Your brain needs you to be sospecific that this is not
writing down.
I am going to be wealthy.
I am going to make more money.
(09:59):
This is being super specific.
I am going to make $20,000 amonth.
I am going to land my dreamclients by June 1st.
I am going to finish thismarathon with a two-hour time
frame.
Whatever it is that you arethinking, you want to really be
(10:20):
very, very specific and thenwrite it down as if it's already
happening.
So let me actually backtrack aminute, because I think what I
just said is I want to finishthe marathon.
What you would actually bewriting down is I am finishing
the marathon in X amount of time.
I am making X amount of dollarsby this date.
(10:40):
I am achieving X goal withinthis time frame.
It always has to be as if it isalready happening.
You want your brain to start tothink in that way, to start to
think about it as if it'salready going on, and then
you're going to engage that RAS,that system.
(11:02):
Right, you're going to engagethat by visualization and
anchoring.
So what I want you to do here instep two is actually close this
is the woo-woo part, right.
Close your eyes, really seeyourself achieving that goal.
See yourself opening up yourbank account and seeing that
money.
See yourself crossing thatfinish line.
(11:24):
See yourself achieving, maybe,a health goal, if you're trying
to weigh a certain amount or fitinto a certain size or eat
healthier.
See yourself eating those foods, looking at the scale.
I want you to really feel it.
I want you to feel what do youfeel like in your body?
What does your nervous systemfeel like when that is achieved?
(11:49):
And then anchor it with somesort of phrase, some sort of
physical cue.
Maybe it's something likepulling on your ear, maybe it's
writing something down, likeit's already done, something
that you can do every single dayfor two minutes.
I want you to just sit thereand do this really spiritual
(12:11):
part of the manifestation.
Allow yourself to see it, feelit and anchor it for two minutes
every day.
Two minutes is not a long time.
You can do this when you getinto bed at night.
You can do this before you getout of bed in the morning.
It doesn't have to take up timeaway from other things.
Two minutes, that's all ittakes, but it's really important
(12:33):
.
This is how you're going toengage that reticular activation
system.
Okay, so then step three is wewant to rewrite the script.
Think of this part as yourrehearsal for your beliefs.
This is where you're journalingthe version of you who already
has this done.
How does that person show upevery day?
(12:54):
How does she speak?
How does she make decisions?
How does she set boundaries?
So really think that through,and then you're going to write
in your journal as if you arethat person already.
Today, this happened.
Today, I made this happen.
This is who you are now.
How do you speak?
(13:15):
How do you make decisions?
How do you set boundaries?
How do you interact with otherpeople in your life?
Journaling that version of youhelps bring that version of you
into your body.
That's step three.
And then step four isessentially these little micro
actions that bring everythinginto alignment, which is
(13:36):
essentially acting like you meanit.
What would future?
You say yes to what wouldfuture?
You say no to today and thenyou're going to take one little
action in that direction.
What you're doing with theselittle micro actions is
collapsing the timeline.
Instead of looking at this assomething that's going to take
(13:58):
years and years and years,you're taking little baby steps
every single day to bring thattimeline closer together.
So that is step four act likeyou mean it.
And then step five is whereyou're going to regulate your
nervous system.
This is really the missing link.
The missing link becausemanifestation is not about fake
(14:21):
positivity, it's about capacity.
It's about the capacity thatyour nervous system has, because
if your nervous system doesn'tfeel safe, receiving what you
want, it is going to sabotagethat result subconsciously,
unconsciously.
So this is where maybe breathwork comes in somatic tools like
(14:41):
EFT tapping.
What are the things that youneed to do to regulate your
nervous system, because noamount of strategy can actually
override a dysregulated system.
So, regulating your nervoussystem I want you to think about
that as like the bow that tiesit all together.
Again, manifestation is notabout fake positivity.
(15:04):
This isn't about just faking ittill you make it in a way that
is detrimental to your mentalhealth.
So you want to think throughall of these things.
If we go back and think aboutthese steps right, so we go to
step one, clarifying the outcomeThen we're going to visualize
and anchor the results.
(15:24):
We're going to rewrite thescript right, journal that
version of you who alreadyexists, and then start acting
that way with micro actions andthen regulating your nervous
system.
So when you think of all ofthat, what it's doing is taking
the outcome that you're lookingfor and making it safe for
(15:44):
yourself.
Because how many of you outthere are thinking about
something you want for your lifeand you are potentially
sabotaging yourself because youhaven't allowed your nervous
system to get used to what thatversion of yourself looks and
feels like?
Does that make sense to you?
Because our nervous system isbuilt, our brains are built to
(16:05):
protect us.
So when we think somethingmight be a little bit too risky,
our nervous system isabsolutely going to sabotage
that and try to keep us safefrom that result.
And I know from myconversations with all of you
guys out there the things thatyou want for your life.
They're big, they're beautiful,they're risky.
(16:26):
So when we are trying to bringthings that are risky into our
lives, we have to go throughthese steps in order to make
sure our brains, our bodies, ournervous systems are ready for
us to live in that reality.
And until we do that work, weare not going to be able to
(16:47):
bring those things into ourlives in a way that is
sustainable.
So when we think again, go backto the top of this episode,
talking about manifesting in away that does have science
behind it.
You know, all of these thingsthat we discussed today, they're
scientifically proven.
This is not something thatsomeone's trying to sell you,
(17:08):
you know.
I mean, it just is the way thatour bodies and brains work.
So when you think about that,that's the difference between
sitting and visualizing futuregen right?
So I'm going to give you a realworld example.
When I try to manifest, when Itry to bring something into my
(17:29):
life.
If I just sit and visualize,let's say, you know, I want to
scale my company to be amulti-million dollar company, if
I just sit and think about thatand don't do all of these steps
to make my body and brain feelsafe with that outcome, my brain
is going to encourage me to becomfortable, to stay where I am,
(17:52):
to stay still and not really goafter the risks that are
required in order to scale tothat level, because it's risky
and my brain wants to keep mesafe.
But if I go through all ofthese steps and I actually do
each one intentionally, I'mteaching my brain and teaching
my nervous system that I amgoing to be just fine in that
(18:16):
space because it is safe for meto live there.
So manifestation, it's not aloophole, it's not a trick, it's
a tool.
So when you combine intentionand those micro-aligned actions
and your nervous system safety,when you combine all those
things, that's when things clickinto place fast.
(18:39):
And it's not because theuniverse suddenly cares about
you, it's because you care aboutyou, it's because you're
finally attuning to the outcomesthat you say you want.
So go ahead.
I want you to journal it out, Iwant you to visualize the hell
out of it.
But then you have to get yourbutt in motion, because the
magic happens when you aretaking those micro-aligned
(19:01):
actions.
I wish you so much luck withthis, and I want to hear how
it's working for you.
If you feel like this issomething that you would need
help with, I'm happy to discussit with you.

This episode is for you, solet's start by talking about
what manifestation actually is.
I want to redefine manifestationin a way that your logical,
high-achieving brain can getbehind.
(03:09):
So manifestation is the processof aligning your beliefs, your
attention and your actions witha specific outcome.
I'll say that againManifestation is the process of
aligning your beliefs, yourattention and your actions with
a specific outcome.
(03:30):
So it's not about controllingthe universe.
It's about actually rewiringyour brain, specifically
something called your reticularactivating system, or RAS.
This is the part of your brainthat is filtering out which

(03:50):
So the more clearly you candefine what you're looking to

more you emotionally connect toit, the more your brain starts

So, to put this in reallysimple terms that you can

(04:13):
you were trying to buy a red car.
All of a sudden, everywhere yougo, you see red cars.
Every single time you turn acorner, there's more red cars.
Those red cars were alwaysthere, you just were not tuned
into them before.
So manifestation is when yourbrain is doing the same thing,
except for your goals, not forthe car you're trying to buy or
(04:36):
the lottery numbers that you'rechoosing.
You know, like my mom alwaystalks about her favorite number,

everywhere, no-transcript.
I also am with her when thosenumbers are around, but I'm not
(04:57):

So let's talk about theneuroscience and energy of
manifesting, because what'sactually happening behind the

And there's a few things goingon the first one is
neuroplasticity.
This is when your thoughts andyour intentions are literally

Repetition of new beliefsequals stronger neural pathways,
and the way that I like todescribe this this is not

(05:42):
the same place, eventually itcreates a pathway right, and you
can picture that little drop ofwater making its way through
the mud and every drop thatfollows takes that same pathway.
That's what we're doing to thepathways in our brain when we
focus on one thing, the same waythat drop of water focuses on
(06:02):
that one spot.
Our thoughts focusing on onething shapes our brain's
structure differently, and thatis called neuroplasticity.
You heard me mention earlierthe RAS, the reticular
activating system.
What do we do with that?
How do we actually make thatwork for us?
Well, we train it byvisualizing, by journaling, by
(06:24):
declaring what we want, byputting it out there.
This starts filtering our worldthrough that lens, like the red
car, like the lucky number.
It starts opening our mind toseeing all the things around us
that support what we arevisualizing.
What are we journaling?
What are we declaring that wewant to bring into the world?
(06:45):
Next, we're going to talk aboutmirror neurons and embodiment.
So what I'm talking about hereis that when you act as if
something is already true, akafake it till you make it, your
body and your nervous systemstart to normalize that version
of you.
So think about someone that maybe really nervous to go out on

you are the greatest speaker,your body and your nervous

They start to just have you actas if that is true and your

So that's what mirror neuronsand embodiment is about.
(07:30):
And then, lastly, we're going tospeak about the energetic
congruence.
This is when your emotions areacting like tuning forks, when
you're trying to attractsomething like abundance but
you're vibrating in scarcity.
Your actions are going toreflect that.
Same thing with everything elsewe're trying to accomplish.
If you are like my daughterright now is training for a
(07:52):
marathon, if she's trying toattract that energy and that
mindset but she's acting as ifshe is never going to be able to
accomplish it, her actions andher results are going to reflect
that.
It's going to cause her to notwork as hard, to not train as
hard.
But if she focuses on being theperson that already can win
(08:15):
that marathon well, not win thatmarathon but can finish that
marathon then her body and hernervous system are going to
normalize that for her and hertraining is going to reflect it
and her results are going toreflect it.
And this is the intersection.
This is the intersection wherespiritual meets strategic.
(08:35):
So, yes, manifesting can comeacross sometimes as a little
woo-woo, but there is realscience behind it.
So if your inner world isrunning right now on fear and
scarcity and you're constantlycaught in those loops, no amount
of journaling is going tooverride that.
You have to actually changeyour internal set point.
(08:58):
You have to change where it isall coming from.
And how do you do that withintegrity?
How do you do that withoutfeeling.
I mean, I guess I want to saylike a fraud.
I'm not sure if that's exactlywhat I mean, but how do we use
this in real life?
Let's talk about realscience-backed manifesting
protocol.
(09:18):
Let's talk about realscience-backed manifesting
protocol.
You know we can hold ourcrystals and just pray for the
best, but this is something thatI want you to be able to really
understand the science behind,so that you can think of the
next thing that you're trying tobring into your life, the next
thing that you want to manifest,and actually have a plan to
(09:38):
bring that forward.
So here's your first step.
I want you to clarify theoutcome, and this means writing
it down like it's alreadyhappening.
Your brain needs you to bespecific.
Your brain needs you to be sospecific that this is not
writing down.
I am going to be wealthy.
I am going to make more money.
(09:59):
This is being super specific.
I am going to make $20,000 amonth.
I am going to land my dreamclients by June 1st.
I am going to finish thismarathon with a two-hour time
frame.
Whatever it is that you arethinking, you want to really be
(10:20):
very, very specific and thenwrite it down as if it's already
happening.
So let me actually backtrack aminute, because I think what I
just said is I want to finishthe marathon.
What you would actually bewriting down is I am finishing
the marathon in X amount of time.
I am making X amount of dollarsby this date.
(10:40):
I am achieving X goal withinthis time frame.
It always has to be as if it isalready happening.
You want your brain to start tothink in that way, to start to
think about it as if it'salready going on, and then
you're going to engage that RAS,that system.
(11:02):
Right, you're going to engagethat by visualization and
anchoring.
So what I want you to do here instep two is actually close this
is the woo-woo part, right.
Close your eyes, really seeyourself achieving that goal.
See yourself opening up yourbank account and seeing that
money.
See yourself crossing thatfinish line.
(11:24):
See yourself achieving, maybe,a health goal, if you're trying
to weigh a certain amount or fitinto a certain size or eat
healthier.
See yourself eating those foods, looking at the scale.
I want you to really feel it.
I want you to feel what do youfeel like in your body?
What does your nervous systemfeel like when that is achieved?
(11:49):
And then anchor it with somesort of phrase, some sort of
physical cue.
Maybe it's something likepulling on your ear, maybe it's
writing something down, likeit's already done, something
that you can do every single dayfor two minutes.
I want you to just sit thereand do this really spiritual
(12:11):
part of the manifestation.
Allow yourself to see it, feelit and anchor it for two minutes
every day.
Two minutes is not a long time.
You can do this when you getinto bed at night.
You can do this before you getout of bed in the morning.
It doesn't have to take up timeaway from other things.
Two minutes, that's all ittakes, but it's really important
(12:33):
.
This is how you're going toengage that reticular activation
system.
Okay, so then step three is wewant to rewrite the script.
Think of this part as yourrehearsal for your beliefs.
This is where you're journalingthe version of you who already
has this done.
How does that person show upevery day?
(12:54):
How does she speak?
How does she make decisions?
How does she set boundaries?
So really think that through,and then you're going to write
in your journal as if you arethat person already.
Today, this happened.
Today, I made this happen.
This is who you are now.
How do you speak?
(13:15):
How do you make decisions?
How do you set boundaries?
How do you interact with otherpeople in your life?
Journaling that version of youhelps bring that version of you
into your body.
That's step three.
And then step four isessentially these little micro
actions that bring everythinginto alignment, which is
(13:36):
essentially acting like you meanit.
What would future?
You say yes to what wouldfuture?
You say no to today and thenyou're going to take one little
action in that direction.
What you're doing with theselittle micro actions is
collapsing the timeline.
Instead of looking at this assomething that's going to take
(13:58):
years and years and years,you're taking little baby steps
every single day to bring thattimeline closer together.
So that is step four act likeyou mean it.
And then step five is whereyou're going to regulate your
nervous system.
This is really the missing link.
The missing link becausemanifestation is not about fake
(14:21):
positivity, it's about capacity.
It's about the capacity thatyour nervous system has, because
if your nervous system doesn'tfeel safe, receiving what you
want, it is going to sabotagethat result subconsciously,
unconsciously.
So this is where maybe breathwork comes in somatic tools like
(14:41):
EFT tapping.
What are the things that youneed to do to regulate your
nervous system, because noamount of strategy can actually
override a dysregulated system.
So, regulating your nervoussystem I want you to think about
that as like the bow that tiesit all together.
Again, manifestation is notabout fake positivity.
(15:04):
This isn't about just faking ittill you make it in a way that
is detrimental to your mentalhealth.
So you want to think throughall of these things.
If we go back and think aboutthese steps right, so we go to
step one, clarifying the outcomeThen we're going to visualize
and anchor the results.
(15:24):
We're going to rewrite thescript right, journal that
version of you who alreadyexists, and then start acting
that way with micro actions andthen regulating your nervous
system.
So when you think of all ofthat, what it's doing is taking
the outcome that you're lookingfor and making it safe for
(15:44):
yourself.
Because how many of you outthere are thinking about
something you want for your lifeand you are potentially
sabotaging yourself because youhaven't allowed your nervous
system to get used to what thatversion of yourself looks and
feels like?
Does that make sense to you?
Because our nervous system isbuilt, our brains are built to
(16:05):
protect us.
So when we think somethingmight be a little bit too risky,
our nervous system isabsolutely going to sabotage
that and try to keep us safefrom that result.
And I know from myconversations with all of you
guys out there the things thatyou want for your life.
They're big, they're beautiful,they're risky.
(16:26):
So when we are trying to bringthings that are risky into our
lives, we have to go throughthese steps in order to make
sure our brains, our bodies, ournervous systems are ready for
us to live in that reality.
And until we do that work, weare not going to be able to
(16:47):
bring those things into ourlives in a way that is
sustainable.
So when we think again, go backto the top of this episode,
talking about manifesting in away that does have science
behind it.
You know, all of these thingsthat we discussed today, they're
scientifically proven.
This is not something thatsomeone's trying to sell you,
(17:08):
you know.
I mean, it just is the way thatour bodies and brains work.
So when you think about that,that's the difference between
sitting and visualizing futuregen right?
So I'm going to give you a realworld example.
When I try to manifest, when Itry to bring something into my
(17:29):
life.
If I just sit and visualize,let's say, you know, I want to
scale my company to be amulti-million dollar company, if
I just sit and think about thatand don't do all of these steps
to make my body and brain feelsafe with that outcome, my brain
is going to encourage me to becomfortable, to stay where I am,
(17:52):
to stay still and not really goafter the risks that are
required in order to scale tothat level, because it's risky
and my brain wants to keep mesafe.
But if I go through all ofthese steps and I actually do
each one intentionally, I'mteaching my brain and teaching
my nervous system that I amgoing to be just fine in that
(18:16):
space because it is safe for meto live there.
So manifestation, it's not aloophole, it's not a trick, it's
a tool.
So when you combine intentionand those micro-aligned actions
and your nervous system safety,when you combine all those
things, that's when things clickinto place fast.
(18:39):
And it's not because theuniverse suddenly cares about
you, it's because you care aboutyou, it's because you're
finally attuning to the outcomesthat you say you want.
So go ahead.
I want you to journal it out, Iwant you to visualize the hell
out of it.
But then you have to get yourbutt in motion, because the
magic happens when you aretaking those micro-aligned
(19:01):
actions.
I wish you so much luck withthis, and I want to hear how
it's working for you.

help with, I'm happy to discussit with you.
