Because what that does in the brain is it moves the brain away from the fear and shame kind of states, which... correlate with the stress hormone cortisol to the love and trust and joy and excitement states, which correlate with the bonding hormone oxytocin. Now, when your brain is in that state, it's much more likely to take a healthy risk. It's much more likely to ask someone for a favor.

We were talking about, you know, asking each other for favors before. You wouldn't do that if you thought, well, don't ask Jay because he'll just shut you down. then you would never ask anyone. But if you start a conversation and someone looks like they want to be generous and help you, then you go into that oxytocin mode.

But you need to be pushing yourself into that mode as much of the time as you can. So the second one is manifestation, which is believing that with your abundant resources, you can do things in the real world that mean that whether it's that feeling of I do what I love or it's an actual house, that you have it in your capability to make that happen.

Because of course, if you believe it will never happen for me, one of these common statements, that's likely to become true. That's manifestation too, it's just negative manifestation.

And it's important to say that both manifestation and the process of neuroplasticity, which I will describe in detail, which is how your brain changes to allow you to grow and grasp new opportunities, they both have a good side and a bad side. And the classic example of a bad side of neuroplasticity is obsessing over an ex after a breakup.

Because what you're saying to your brain is, this is what people do. You know, you trust them and then they leave you. And you just remind yourself of all the times that you should have, like, seen the signs and then, you know, all the times that it went wrong. That's also inducing neuroplasticity and potentially manifestation in your brain because if you don't make a change after that...

your relationship pattern will stay the same and you'll reinforce it further with more breakups and more, you know, sort of choices of partners aren't ideal for you. The third one is the magnetic desire that I already discussed, which means that it has to be really authentic to you, but also aligned in simple terms in your head, your heart and your gut. But

In the source, I talk about six ways of thinking, which are logical, emotional, physical, intuitive, motivational and creative. So if you think of something that you want and you ask yourself in six different questions, you know, why do I want this logically? Why do I want it intuitively? And you can get a really good answer to those.

And it's likely that, you know, you will be able to manifest that. Then there's patience, which has to do with neuroplasticity. So until we had sophisticated scanning technologies, a lot of this work, cognitive science work, was all thought to be psychological rather than neurological. So it would kind of be like, oh, you know, Jay, you're not mentally strong enough. You gave up too quickly.

And it would kind of infer an intangible psychological weakness that is kind of your fault. And I think that's another criticism of manifestation as well, that if it doesn't work, then there's something wrong with you.
