When you vividly visualize a desired outcome, specific neural networks in your brain become active. This activation strengthens the connections within these networks, making it easier for your brain to process and achieve your goals.
Visualization stimulates the brain's reward centers, triggering the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with motivation and pleasure. This increased motivation and focus empower you to take purposeful actions toward your goals.
By immersing yourself in positive mental imagery, visualization can effectively lower stress levels and reduce anxiety. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and restoring balance in your body and mind.
Curiosity and fear cannot coexist in the brain. It’s as simple as that. When we displace fear with curiosity, we shift our mindsets around stress to use it to our advantage, rather than allow it to hold us back. Find new energy and creativity where there once was fear. Empower yourself to reach bold new heights personally and professionally.
A shift towardsTake advantage of decades of research and experience in positive psychology boiled down to simple shifts anyone can make to measurably increase joy as you integrate with your truest self. Manifesting isn't magic. It's science we all have access to. Learn how to find joy in what you do.
LastingWith goal-setting techniques based on our hormonal profiles, we can learn what really motivates us to hit those goals, push through barriers and continue to strive toward our full potential, even as we balance our lives with better boundaries, habits and powerful thoughts. Build your confidence to be and show your best self.
A return to you. Many of us are so busy being people pleasers and tending to the needs of others we wake up one day and realize we’ve completely lost the core sense of who we are. In this section, we will understand the factors contributing to “the slipping away” and find ways to resurface our authentic selves. Participants will be able to take a professional Enneagram - a widely recognized personality model that provides profound insights into fundamental motivations and reveals patterns of unconsciously driven behaviors. As a framework, the Enneagram can help each of us uncover our uniqueness and gain valuable insights into our most fear(less) selves.
While stress is an inevitable part of living, many of us live in a condition of chronic stress with consequences for our health, relationships, and performance. In this section, we will understand how the scarcity cycle can lead us to fight/flight/freeze/appease responses and develop strategies to intervene and break the cycle of both acute and repeated predictable stressors. We also cover time management techniques to take our power back over time and lack mentality.
Our fears of rejection and failure are both natural and normal, but that doesn’t mean they should stand in our way of accomplishing our dreams. This section works through discomfort, social anxiety, and fear to reframe and rewire our ancient brains for the modern world in which they live.
The ADD technique is introduced as well as strategies to use when the fear feels overwhelming, using Internal Family Systems techniques.
Somewhere between 75-82% of us suffer with imposter syndrome – the belief that we are not worthy of a relationship, or career or other accolades; that we are really just frauds and any day we’ll be discovered. This section is dedicated to calling out our imposter thoughts that keep us caged behind masks of perfectionism, procrastination and lower performance (and enjoyment of life)! An assessment will help us identify the specific type and severity of our imposter thoughts and then we’ll tackle this type of thinking with strategies to change our automatic negative thoughts and build a confidence flywheel by working with our physiological responses and building sustainable new habits.
Women face a difficult societal bind of expectation: be strong and be the “good girl.” Be a boss, but not bossy. While men are expected to be strong and unemotional, often suffering in silence. In this section, we tackle the responsibilities of setting and holding appropriate boundaries, through knowing and establishing your rights, clearly communicating them and recognizing when confrontation is necessary (and even when ties might need to be cut). Finally, we discuss the art of when and how to say “no” and “sorry.”
It feels like you can’t get through the day without hearing about manifesting, and the law of attraction. In the final section of the Fearless Accelerator, we address the science of manifesting by exploring the biology, psychology, and physics behind attracting what you desire and work together through visualization practices to keep the momentum of everything you’ve learned in the course pushing forward toward a more fearless life.
