WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT
Neuroscientist Explains How Neuroplasticity, Action Boards and Gratitude Help You Manifest Goals
- Dr. Tara Swart Bieber defines manifestation as setting a goal and making it real in the tangible world, and says understanding that the brain can change at any age is life-changing.
- She cites studies on imagined weightlifting and on elderly people living in retrofitted past-era homes, and Howes adds his own pole vault rehearsal, to argue that belief and mental rehearsal change the body.
- She describes building new brain pathways as physical work that uses glucose and causes fatigue, and says negative self-talk should be overridden with positive statements aimed at the belief driving it.
- She recommends making an action board by hand, keeping it visible, looking at it daily and being grateful as if the goal has already happened, while also being patient and putting in real work.
- Both speakers describe how hardship, divorce, career change and the pandemic became openings for reinvention, and why keeping up inner work during good times prepares you for hard ones.
IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING
5 ideasManifestation requires action, not fantasy.
Swart calls her boards action boards because she does not believe you can create the life you want without taking action, and she says you must put in the work to earn what is on the board.
Imagining an action can produce physical change.
She describes a study in which people who only imagined lifting weights gained about 15% muscle mass, versus 30 to 40% for those who lifted. She could not recall the study's name but said it is quoted in her MIT Sloan program.
Repeated exposure to images teaches the brain what matters.
She explains that value tagging helps the brain filter a flood of information, so repeatedly seeing what you want makes you more likely to notice related opportunities.
Changing a belief means building a stronger pathway.
She compares behavior change to trampling a path through a field until it becomes a paved road. She advises finding the belief behind a negative thought and repeating its opposite until the new pathway is stronger than the childhood one.
Learning something hard is physical work.
She says building new pathways uses glucose, which is why her Danish lessons left her tired and hungry until she passed a tipping point. She adds that the brain uses 20 to 30% of what you eat.
