Dr. Doty explains a technique for embedding intentions in your subconscious and activating different cognitive brain networks. Here’s the process:
Steps to Embed Intentions
1. 📝 Write down your intention with a pencil
2. 👀 Read it silently
3. 🗣️ Read it aloud
4. 🧠 Visualize it
5. 🔁 Repeat this process multiple times
This method engages multiple senses to effectively embed the intention into your subconscious.
Brain Networks Involved
Default Mode Network
• Activates when your mind wanders or daydreams
• Creates self-referential narratives
• Can lead to negative self-talk and rumination
Task Positive Network
This network has three parts:
1. Salience Network: Makes the intention important
2. Attention Network: Focuses cognitive attention on the intention
3. Executive Control Network: Pursues the intention in your environment
Key Points
• This process is based on fundamental neuroscience, not magic
• Everyone has the ability to master this technique
