Today, we’re taking a look at the fascinating world of neuroplasticity, thoughts, decision-making, and habitual behavior with my guest, Dr. Hayley Nelson. Dr. Hayley is a renowned neuroscientist and founder of the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience. She shares her knowledge and insights on our brains, specifically how they operate on automated pathways shaped by past experiences and how visualization can create powerful neural connections.The ideas of visualization equaling manifestation, and inner thoughts dictating your outer world are no longer hype pushed by thought leaders, they are proven and backed by science. You have the power to create your ideal reality and this episode will explain how!We explore the synergy between cognitive behavioral therapy and medication, the science behind forming new, healthier habits, and the powerful role of mindset in achieving success. Plus, we discuss practical tips for creating new neural pathways, and how to effectively utilize visualizations in personal development. So, get ready to learn how to harness the incredible power of your brain to make meaningful changes in your life.Timestamps04:06 Scientific evidence validates mindset, meditation, and nature benefits.09:31 Self-doubt serves as an ingrained survival mechanism.11:36 Tricks to reduce resistance, foster new behaviors.15:31 Exercise aids in neuroprotection and neuroplasticity development.17:11 Tie goal to emotion for stronger motivation.23:56 Dopamine influences incentive value behind decision-making.25:58 Identify and align actions with core values.29:54 Emotional triggers create believable future visualizations for success.32:45 Tie all senses and emotions into visualization.36:53 Subconscious mind involves deeply ingrained behaviors.Key TakeawaysHarness the Power of Visualization: Your brain forms strong neural pathways from both real and imagined experiences and cannot tell the difference between real and imagined.Mindset and Repetition Matter: The neural pathways that guide our behaviors are formed through repetition.The Science of Reward and Motivation: Dopamine, often referred to as the "motivation molecule," plays a crucial role in our reward and decision-making systems.👉For more information on Dr. Hayley or the Certification Programs in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience: Click HereConnect with Dr. Hayley: academyofneuro.com Social media: @bewellwithdrhayley Grab your special discount on the popular Stress and the Brain course, The ABCs of Commonly Abused Drugs, or book a complimentary Discovery Call at acOther Links Mentioned:QUIZ: Are You Blocking Your Success SUCCESS BUNDLE SUCCESS SPRINT CHALLENGE Visit the Shift or Get Off the Pot Website: ShiftOrGetOffThePotPodcast.com Keep in Contact!
