How to use Mental Rehearsal to Create Positive Change in your Life
Thursday Mar 20, 2025
Thursday Mar 20, 2025
Deep down, everyone has things that they want to change in their lives…
Blocks, barriers, emotional issues, destructive behaviours…things that prevent them from getting more of what they want…
But the problem is, we’ve never been taught how to make those changes…
We’ve been given this incredible device, our brain, but we’ve not been given a user manual.
So we fiddle about, trying to get it to do what we want it to do, but it seems to have a mind of its own.
And as a result, change, for many people, feels difficult, if not impossible.
But what if there was a way to unlock your brain’s potential? To be able to use your mind to create specific, positive changes in you life?
AND to it deliberately, by design.
Well, you’ll be glad to know, that there is such a thing. And the key to all of it: is mental rehearsal.
So in this episode, we're going to be digging into this amazing process and how to use it to create positive changes in your life.
So grab a cuppa, or whatever you do when you're listening to your podcasts and lets get started.
