“We’ve all got depression inside of us and if we don’t do certain things on a daily basis, we’re going to activate that depression.” – Louisa Nicola

 

Louisa gives us an overview about visualization as well as how to actually engage our senses, feelings and intentions in order to trick our brain and visualize immediate success. She dives into the difference between visualization (make believe), meditation (relaxation) and the whole functionality of the motivation molecule known as dopamine. According to Louisa, dopamine is essential in our body and is, in fact, released before exercise as well as during exercise.
