Mind and Body Conditioning

Mel Robbins: Visualization and Resilience
Thoughts on Law of Attraction
- Manifesting is akin to Law of Attraction: Thoughts become things.
- Emphasizes proper visualization: not just end results, but the challenging journey toward goals.

Practical Applications

Reticular Activating System (RAS)
- RAS filters brain input, focusing on what you deem important.
