Manifesting gets thrown around a lot these days - but I want to share the version that’s backed by neuroscience, grounded in mindset, and powerful in practice.

This isn’t about magical thinking. It’s about working with your brain, your emotions, and your energy - and it might surprise you where most of us get stuck.

Let’s dive in.

Manifesting Isn’t Magic — It’s Mindset and Neuroscience 

You’ve probably heard of the Law of Attraction - maybe even tried it. But here’s the thing: manifesting isn’t just about thinking positively.

Your brain is bombarded by over 11 million bits of information every second. But your conscious mind? It can only process around 40–50 bits per second.

That’s like trying to navigate the world through a pinhole.

Enter: your RAS - Reticular Activating System.

This is your brain’s filter. It decides what gets your attention based on what you repeatedly think, feel, and focus on.

If you’re constantly thinking things like:

• “There’s never enough money.”

• “I’m always overlooked.”

• “Nothing ever works out.”

Then your brain filters for more of that. It’s not trying to be cruel - it just thinks those thoughts must be important to you.

Add to that our negativity bias (your brain’s ancient wiring to focus on danger and lack), and it’s easy to see how we get caught in cycles of disappointment and limitation.

But here’s where it shifts…

Where Your Focus Goes, Energy Flows 

If you’re constantly focusing on what’s wrong, you’re more likely to feel discouraged, stuck, or anxious - and your brain will continue looking for proof to back that up.

But when you shift your focus to possibility?

Your thoughts, emotions, and energy change - and so does what your brain starts noticing.

In Part 2, I’ll guide you through a powerful practice to shift into this new energy — including a mini-visualisation to help you feel into your future self.

Until then, ask yourself:

🌀 What am I constantly thinking about?

🌀 Is my brain filtering for what’s possible — or what’s missing?

You’re already influencing what shows up. Let’s make it more intentional.

Coming next: Part 2 — How to Tune Into the Frequency of What You Want 

I’ll walk you through a practical mindset shift, a guided visualisation moment, and what to do if you’re not sure what you even want anymore.
