Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

But literally within two hours, I get a call from someone on my team who's like, this amazing opportunity just came in.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And it was something that...

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

I had been kind of just super in a detached way, like, oh, that's on its way.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

Just like every once in a while, like, oh, that's on its way.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

It's coming.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

I don't know when, but it's coming.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And I just trusted it fully.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And I just would honestly say it as a joke.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

Like, I wasn't even really like trying to manifest it.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

I would just say it as a joke.

Know Thyself

And literally, I get a call right after doing this exercise of activating the feeling states of my desires.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And maybe that wasn't the specific goal, right, that I was sitting there being like, why isn't this happening?

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

But it wasn't the specific goal that I had in my head, but it was something that made me feel all of those feelings that I was after.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And I feel like that's another really great example of and it just proves like we don't necessarily want the things we want.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

Like we really do just want things to make us feel the way that we want to feel.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And so being open to that, being open to alternate paths, alternate opportunities, different ways that something can help you feel that way.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

And immediately after that happened, I was just like, wow, I just did that activity and it already came.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

Absolutely.

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

I, you know, I made a joke, wasn't really a joke about being like a dolphin alien spirit

Know Thyself
E192 - Emily McDonald: The Neuroscience of Transforming Yourself

Yeah.
