Welcome to the Expansion Edit Podcast, where if you hang around long enough, you'll learn that you can achieve anything by rewiring who you believe you are. I'm Chelsea, a licensed therapist, turned identity coach for the woman ready to create an extraordinary life and become the living manifestation of her vision board. Not through wishful thinking or fluffy affirmations, but through identity embodiment using proven techniques, rewiring protocols, and psychology-backed strategy grounded in neuroscience. Here we talk subconscious rewiring, nervous system safety, identity shifting, and manifestation in a way that expands your life from the inside out. So let's unlock your next level. Today we are doing a little fun episode. I know that you guys have enjoyed this style before, so we're bringing it back. Today we're gonna talk about microhabits that rewire your brain for success and manifesting. Literally, these have changed my life in a very short amount of time. So we're gonna just list these out so you can start using them today. And some of them are probably gonna be a little bit familiar because you've heard me talk about these things. Okay, the first one is keeping a daily proof list. So, proof loops, if you're not familiar or haven't heard me talk about this, are pieces of evidence in your reality that you are going to the place that you say that you're going or you are moving towards the life or the business or whatever it is that you're creating. This is evidence that you're moving towards that. Because we can be in a lot of uncertainty when we're taking big risks and making bold moves. And so your brain, again, is always going to default to the familiar. So if we can give it concrete proof, it's gonna feel more uncomfortable being in the uncertainty. And these proofs can be big or small, you know, it it doesn't really matter because your brain doesn't care if a proof is big or small, it just cares that you have it. So an example of this would be if I put a post out and I get a lot of responses and comments about, you know, oh my gosh, this is me, you're reading my mind, this is my experience. That is proof to me that I am moving in the direction that I want to in terms of messaging and growth and creating offers that really help people and help them create the life that they want to live. So that's one example. You can apply this to your gym goals or your personal goals or a business or whatever it is. Just start looking for proof in your reality that you are going where you say you're going. Again, if you just wanted to be like, I'm abundant, and somebody bought you a coffee, that would be proof. So it's just these little things. You're just training your brain, training your reticular activating system to see the life that you want to live. The next little habit is replacing if with when. Now, this is such a small one, but I swear it is huge. Instead of asking if this is gonna work, if I'm going in this direction, if I can make it, you replace that with when. So anytime you feel these questions come up, just replace it with when, and you're gonna have a completely different perspective really quickly. And again, that's gonna help your brain look for more proof that you are going where you say you're going. The next habit is something that I have had to work on at length, and I still feel like I am working on this. But it is practice receiving compliments without minimizing them. And this might feel like, what does this have to do with success or manifesting? But it really does because it's practicing receiving, it's not minimizing the work that you've done, the effort that you put in. It's not minimizing your visibility. If somebody compliments you and you try to shy away from it, that's reinforcing to your brain that you shouldn't be seen, you shouldn't be acknowledged for your work, and therefore you should not receive. And we absolutely need to be able to receive in order to grow, in order to manifest, in order to attract more of the abundance that we want in our life. And this is a really easy way to close the gap on that and just practice receiving in a really low pressure, low cost way. So instead of, you know, somebody saying, Wow, I love your dress, and you're like, Oh, thanks, I got it on sale. You don't need to do that. You can just say thank you. And I know it feels like a novel concept, but it really does grow your ability to receive more quickly. The next habit has been crucial for me because you guys know I meditate in the morning. Well, let's say I'm on vacation or I'm like I was on a bachelorette this weekend, and I actually did meditate two of the mornings, but two of the mornings I didn't have time because people were already awake and stuff. So in the mornings where you know my routine's different or I don't have time to meditate, I will still spend 60 to 120 seconds visualizing my future before I even open my eyes. If I know I'm not gonna have time to meditate, I will literally sit there and visualize how I want my life to look or what it is that I'm working towards. And no, it's not a replacement for full meditation, but it does set me in the right headspace and the right nervous system regulation to start my day. So this is something that you can do so easily if you, you know, don't have time to meditate or you're just not quite there yet. I would spend just that time really visualizing where you want to go. Okay, this one, the next habit, is for my maybe squirrely ADHD type girls out there. And this one has been huge for me too, and it's kind of something that I've had to reinforce because sometimes I'll forget and I'll come back to this habit, but finishing one task all the way through to completion before switching. So if you have a million tabs open in your brain, and I know this is also, you know, for the moms out there, you know, there's just always a million tabs, right? But if we can prioritize one thing and finish it through, finish the task without, you know, jumping to something else. And sometimes I'll even put a timer on, because that really helps me just be like, okay, I'm literally gonna be done with this task, whether that be laundry, whether that be finishing editing my social media posts or whatever it is, doing one task and seeing it all the way through, because not only is obviously beneficial for you getting things done, but it also regulates your nervous system. When you have less thoughts going all the time of all the things that you need to do, your brain slows down, and even just completing one task will quiet down that feeling of incompleteness or the feeling that you're not doing enough, even if you still have a million other tasks that need to get done. So that's a really good one. The next little micro habit is asking myself, especially in moments where I'm feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin, I will ask myself, what would the future version of me do in the next five minutes? I'm not talking about today, tomorrow, next week. I'm just looking at the next five minutes. How would the future version of me respond? How would she feel? What thoughts would she have? And I move from that place. Okay, and the last mini habit, which is a really big one, is acting on one urge instead of overthinking it. Now, I think some of you heard that and you got scared, and that's okay. But really, the act of moving on an idea, even if it's a small idea or something at low stakes, the act of moving on that is going to have such large knock-on effects if you are an overthinker. Because what it does is when you take action, even if it's something small or insignificant, it tells your brain taking action is safe. It doesn't matter what the action is. Basically, you're building evidence for the brain that moving and taking the action, even if it's not perfect, even if it's not fully thought out, is a safe thing to do. And if you are building something, or if you are a creative or a business owner and you are paralyzed because you are overthinking every decision, you are not going to get to the place that you want to go. You have to learn how to take action, make moves, follow through, even when it's messy, even when maybe it doesn't make the most sense, because the faster you do it, the faster you will learn, the faster you will fail. And I know that sounds scary, but the more you fail, the more comfortable your brain becomes with, oh, failing doesn't kill us. Failing is okay. We're gonna make it through this and we're gonna learn from this experience and grow and create beyond what our capabilities were, if we had just stayed stuck and stayed in overthinking. So when you have an idea, I urge you to act on it. Even if it's oh, I have this thought. Okay, if you have a thought that might be an idea that you want to act on, write it out. That's the next step, is just literally writing it out, getting it out of your brain. That in and of itself is an action. Those are the little microhabits. Start implementing these every day, and it's going to fast track your quantum leap because you're going to be starting to think like the future version of yourself. You're going to start acting like the future version of yourself, and you're going to be able to make moves, even if you start super small, just making a move and moving through that perfectionism is going to have such lasting knock-on effects that ripple out into your life. So this was like a super short episode today, but I just want to give you the tangible stuff that you can take and be like, yes, like let's move on this. If you're ready to really target the things that are holding you back or keeping you stuck, or you know, the perfectionism thing is a really big hurdle for you, or the idea of taking action is just debilitating, or there's you're like, okay, well, I have this specific problem and I don't really know how to move on it. I just want to remind you that the Rewired Collective is open. Our first coaching call will be on Wednesday, June 24th.
