Hello, Dreamers! 🌟

This morning, as the mist gently rolls over the Malibu hills and the sun begins to rise, I am reminded of the power of dreams and the incredible potential within each of us. Today, I want to share with you a fascinating concept that has transformed my life and helped me reach my goals: the Reticular Activating System (RAS).

The RAS is a network of neurons located in the brainstem that plays a crucial role in regulating wakefulness and attention. Think of it as the gatekeeper of information, filtering out unnecessary data so that we can focus on what truly matters. When we harness the power of the RAS, we can program our minds to seek out opportunities and solutions that align with our goals and dreams. It's like having a built-in GPS guiding us toward our desired destination!

Let me take you back to a pivotal moment in my life. A few years ago, after a near-death experience, I realized how precious life really is. I decided to live every day with purpose, to chase my dreams relentlessly, and to never take a single moment for granted. But it wasn't just the decision that changed everything—it was how I focused my mind and used my RAS to manifest my goals.

Here's how you can do it too:

1. Clearly Define Your Goals

First, you need to be crystal clear about what you want. Whether it's a career milestone, a personal achievement, or a new experience, write it down in detail. The more specific you are, the better your RAS can work to filter relevant information. For instance, when I decided to expand my career into acting, I didn't just say, "I want to act." I visualized myself on set, interacting with directors, and even imagined receiving positive reviews for my performances.

2. Visualize Your Success

Visualization is a powerful tool. Spend a few minutes each day picturing yourself achieving your goals. Feel the emotions, see the details, and immerse yourself in the experience. This practice trains your RAS to recognize opportunities that align with your vision. I often visualize my accomplishments during my morning meditation, setting a positive tone for the day ahead.

3. Affirmations and Positive Self-Talk

Affirmations are statements that reinforce your goals and beliefs. By repeating positive affirmations, you can reprogram your subconscious mind. For example, I use affirmations like "I am confident and successful in my career" or "I attract positive opportunities" to keep my RAS focused on my objectives. These affirmations have been instrumental in maintaining my motivation and clarity.

4. Stay Focused and Persistent

It's easy to get distracted or discouraged, but remember, persistence is key. Keep your goals at the forefront of your mind, and don't let setbacks deter you. Every challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow. I've faced numerous obstacles in my journey, but my unwavering focus and determination have always guided me back on track.

5. Surround Yourself with Positive Influences

Lastly, the people you surround yourself with can greatly impact your mindset. Choose to be around those who support and inspire you. Their positive energy will boost your own and help keep your RAS tuned to success. My manager, Lisa, and my close friends are my pillars of support, always encouraging me to push my boundaries and reach for the stars.

Dreamers, the power to manifest your dreams lies within you. By understanding and leveraging your RAS, you can transform your aspirations into reality. Life is precious, and every moment is a chance to pursue your dreams with passion and purpose. So dare to dream big, focus your mind, and watch as the universe aligns to bring your dreams to life.

As I sign off, I want to leave you with one of my favorite quotes by Paulo Coelho: "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." Reflect on this as you embark on your journey of manifestation. Together, let's create a world where our dreams become our reality.

With love and light,
