Chapter 1: What is the importance of self-worth in manifestation?
Chapter 2: How can negative thoughts block your goals?
That is you overriding that part of your brain that might say it would just be easier for me to stay in LA. So it's as simple as that. It can obviously be a lot harder than that as well, but it's understanding that your brain will do quite a lot to stop you from taking risk. It's two and a half times as strongly wired to avoid risk as it is to gain reward.
Say that part again.
It's two and a half times more strongly wired to avoid risk than is to get a reward. Wow. It's about believing that there are enough resources out there for everyone. And that by, you know, perhaps entering... a new career pool or a new community of people, that it doesn't mean that you're likely to fail if you've managed to be in an abundant state.
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...
