That's the key misconception I think is that manifesting is a passive process that you think your dreams into reality.

Now that is woo.

But the thing is you're thinking your thoughts are powerful, but you must take action.

You make a conscious choice about what you want to work for.

In a way it kind of gets you off that life treadmill where you know suddenly you're 45 and you go

why am I working in an office how did I ever get here you know we kind of just live our lives

without actual focused attention and direction.

Well, according to Dr Sabina Brennan, there's real neuroscience behind the art of manifesting. The power to manifest the life of our dreams

does reside within all of us. I'm Liz Earl and a very big welcome to the Lizar Well-being

show, the podcast helping us all have a better second half.

And as you know, I am on a bit of a mission to find ways for all of us to thrive in our later lives

by investing in our health and our well-being today.

Now you heard me talking to Grant's Dore on the show just a few weeks ago about how I met my boyfriend.

But did you know that I manifested him yes so this was

something that was completely new to me and it was a few years ago it was on a new

moon not sure whether Sabina's going to buy this, but anyway, and I was introduced

the idea by my daughter's Lily and Brela who was seriously into manifesting as young women,

and I was saying how I would quite like a relationship but you know wasn't really sure how to go about it and they said mommy it's a new moon you need to manifest

So I said okay well I just manifest a lovely relationship and they said no no no you have to be very specific.

So we got out a pencil and paper and I wrote a list and I was very specific. I said tall, kind, nice eyes, good hair, in his 40s, self-made, into biohacking, all of that stuff.

And then I put the list to wear and I thought, well that's ridiculous, that's so specific, I mean it's enough to meet a nice chap isn't it

let alone have this serious wish list of like 20 or 30 things anyway low I am with somebody
