Dr. Rick Hanson, the esteemed psychologist and mindfulness teacher, points out that the brain has a negativity bias. The mind naturally clings to unpleasant experiences in order to “brace” you and protect you from danger. By actively seeking out moments of joy, you encourage the brain to shift that bias. In this exercise, you will work to bring intentional mindfulness to the positive moments of your day.

Don't worry about where you're at, because it's exactly where you should be. Let this meditation remind you that it's okay to not have all the answers. Embrace the beauty of the unknown and trust the process ahead.

Embracing The Unknown

The power of manifesting is rooted in the strong connection between our thoughts and reality. Surprisingly, our brains may not be able to differentiate between what is imagined and what is real. When we vividly visualize our desires and goals, our brains activate similar neural pathways as if we were experiencing those events. Neuroscience research supports this phenomenon, which shows that mental rehearsal can effectively rewire the brain and prepare it for success. By leveraging the power of visualization, we can train our minds to focus on positive outcomes, boosting confidence, motivation, and a sense of purpose. Through consistent practice, manifesting becomes a transformative tool for shaping our lives and achieving our goals.

Focusing on Healthy Food Choices

The self-talk you engage in regularly is often unkind. You beat yourself up, hold yourself to unrealistic standards, and focus on how to always be better. With mindfulness, you can tune in to this voice and acknowledge these thoughts. You can also learn to tune in to the things you like about yourself. Even if they aren’t obvious in every moment, there are parts of you that you like. In this exercise, you will bring your awareness to these aspects of yourself to offer a more complete picture of who you truly are.
