Neuroscience of Manifestation: Why You Should Focus on Brain Networks & Nervous System Regulation with Dr. James Doty

Is setting goals the best way to unlock your true potential? We talk a lot about the importance of goal setting and how to set smart goals. But sometimes fear of failure can create unintentional limits within your goals, and that can actually end up holding you back. What if there was a better way to look at your goals so that you don’t just reach them, but achieve so much more? I’m thrilled to have Emmanuel Acho on our show today to talk more in-depth about this topic. Emmanuel is a former NFL player who earned his Master’s Degree in Sports Psychology during his off-seasons. He’s an Emmy Award-Winning Fox Sports Analyst, host of an acclaimed video series, and author of the New York Times instant bestseller, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. Emmanuel’s newest book, Illogical: Saying Yes to a Life Without Limits, breaks down how to defy logic so that you can dream bigger and break through your limitations. Fear of failure often fills the space between where you currently are and where you want to be. To overcome that fear, you have to redirect your perspective of failure by letting go of logic so you can keep pushing yourself beyond what conventional wisdom says is possible. If you live in a world where you compare yourself to a standard, this episode is for you. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

How do you work smarter and not harder? If you’re like the rest of us, you want to become more efficient by working smarter—not just harder. You already know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed with long to-do lists, stressful demands, and the pressure of not having enough time. This burden can feel even heavier when all of these tasks feel high-priority and can’t be ignored. Today, I want to talk about how to focus on the things that matter the most so that you can exert the same amount of effort but yield the highest possible rewards. When you’re weighed down with an endless list of tasks, it can feel like you’re being held back and aren’t able to pursue the things you really want to do. Even worse, it can lead to burnout. So if you’re struggling to identify how to apply your efforts to produce maximum results, this episode is for you. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

How do you go from stressed to motivated? When you’re under pressure, you may not look beyond today’s circumstances for what’s causing your stress. But the truth is, how you react to challenging situations now is directly tied to events you’ve already faced. The key to overcoming that stress is figuring out how your present feelings are being influenced by your past. I’m thrilled to have Dr. Don Wood on the show today. Dr. Wood is a clinical psychologist and founder of the Inspired Performance Institute. After years of research, he created the TIPP method as a holistic approach to heal the effects of trauma on the body and mind, and is the author of You Must Be Out of Your Mind: We All Need A Reboot and Emotional Concussions: Understanding How Our Nervous System is Affected By Events and Experiences. We all have stress on a day-to-day basis, but how well you handle today’s stress depends on how you managed your earlier stress. Fear and stress are signposts your mind has created based on these past experiences and how you coped then will influence your stress levels in the current situation. Listen in as Dr. Wood shares insights into recognizing these patterns and gives you actionable steps so you can transform the stress in your life into motivation. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?
