The Psychology of Manifesting Your Goals

If you're a lover of cold hard facts and a good article reference then you might also be wondering whether talk of 'manifestation' is too fluffy of a concept for you to embrace.
In fact, one of the first search results on Google for manifestation puts it bluntly: it isn't backed up by science.
But is that really the case?
In this episode I break down the concept of manifestation, exploring whether there is in fact psychology, science and research behind the idea of being able to manifest the things you want into your life and if so, how that works practically and what you need to do to make sure it works for you.
Spoiler: even the most science-y of us might benefit from giving manifestation a second thought!
