the cold truth: your brain is the boss of your reality
your brain is not just a squishy organ in your skull. it’s a pattern-detecting, future-projecting, meaning-assigning machine. and your nervous system? it’s the messenger. the mood conductor. the switchboard for every single emotional, physical, spiritual vibe you feel.
if your nervous system is dysregulated (and let’s be honest most of us walking around with trauma, burnout, bad parenting, too much social media, and zero rest it is), then your brain is operating in survival mode. not goddess mode.
you feel like shit because your nervous system is hijacked
this is not your personality. this is your programming.
are you always anxious, snappy, emotionally numb, overly sensitive, tired but wired, can’t focus, can’t sleep, stuck in loops of overthinking? or maybe you feel shut down, depressed, numb, foggy, dissociated, hopeless?
you might be in dorsal vagal shutdown. it’s the freeze state. it’s what your body does when the danger feels too big to fight or run from.
and if you’re just constantly overstimulating your brain with useless content, noise, stress, porn, gossip, sugar, or doomscrolling congrats. you’re in a state of what i like to call:
✨ neural masturbation ✨
aka: mental overstimulation with zero productive output. feels good short-term, wrecks your life long-term.
but wait, you can rewire all this.
1. nervous system regulation
this is the foundation. nothing in your life changes until your nervous system feels safe. period.
→ vagus nerve activation (the holy grail):
• cold showers / face in ice water
• deep belly breathing (inhale 4, exhale 8)
• humming / chanting / singing
• slow rhythmic movement (like walking, swimming, yoga)
• touch / pressure (weighted blanket, self hugs)
• grounding in nature (barefoot on grass, laying on the earth)
→ cut stimulation
• limit social media + screen time
• no phones in bed
• 1 hour in silence every day (no input = integration)
→ rest like it’s your job
• nap
• stare at the ceiling
• do nothing without guilt
• let your brain process and chill
now relax cause first i’m gonna tell y’all about
YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM
the nervous system is your body’s electric language.
it’s what lets you feel, move, react, survive, and thrive.
if your brain is the CPU, then your nervous system is the WiFi. and let me tell you:
bad WiFi = glitchy reality
strong, stable WiFi = smooth, sexy manifestation pipeline
so when you’re stuck in fear, shame, doubt, overthinking, self-hate spirals —
it’s often your nervous system crying:
“yo… i’m overloaded. i need safety. i need co-regulation. i need a hug and some fkn magnesium.”
THE THREE NERVOUS SYSTEM MODES
1. SYMPATHETIC STATE – “FIGHT or FLIGHT”
• activated by threat, stress, trauma, survival
• you feel: anxious, restless, angry, hyper, can’t sit still, can’t stop thinking
• body: tense muscles, shallow breath, maybe stomach issues
• mind: “i have to do more or else i’ll fail”
and the way my biology teacher told us “when you have your cumulative test in a hour and you haven’t prepared for it”
this is your hustler mode but in survival. it’s useful in short bursts, but living here full-time burns you out.
2. DORSAL VAGAL – “FREEZE or FAWN”
• when you’re overwhelmed AF, so your system shuts down
• you feel: numb, hopeless, dissociated, heavy, tired all the time, unmotivated
• mind: “what’s the point… nothing matters. i’ll never succeed.”
• body: depression, chronic fatigue, no appetite or bingeing, low energy
most depressed people stay in this state, notice how nothing exite them anymore? yeah that’s the reason
this is the shutdown zone. not your fault. your system is protecting you from past danger.
3. VENTRAL VAGAL – “SAFE & SOCIAL”
• the state of calm, creativity, confidence, clarity
• you feel: grounded, happy, motivated, connected, flowy
• body: relaxed shoulders, steady breath, sparkle in the eyes
• mind: “i got this. life is working for me. i’m safe to be seen and succeed.”
THIS is where you create magic. THIS is where you’re magnetic. THIS is where you manifest with ease.
✨ HOW TO REGULATE YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM AND BECOME GODMODE ✨
literally regulate your nervous system and you’ll watch your life snap into place. here’s the top practices to get you into your divine ventral state daily:
breath work
slow, deep breathing tells your brain: “you’re safe now”
• box breathing (4–4–4–4) = calms anxiety
• 4-7-8 breathing = activates parasympathetic calm response
• deep belly breaths = nervous system reset. not chest. not shallow. go deep.
cold showers and face dips
“wtf” i know — but science supports this
cold activates your vagus nerve = instant mental reset
you’re literally shocking your body out of panic
BILATERAL STIMULATION (aka EMDR-style techniques)
• tapping left/right sides of your body
• eye movement back and forth
• walking with intention
this helps you process trauma, rewire beliefs, and regulate emotions
it brings both brain hemispheres into sync = POWER MODE
LISTEN TO BINAURAL BEATS + SUBLIMINALS
• 528Hz = love, healing
• 963Hz = crown chakra, divine connection
• 432Hz = natural harmony
• subliminals + these = subconscious and nervous system healing
layer it up like your sonic skincare.
CO-REGULATION / TOUCH / SAFETY
you are not meant to heal alone.
being near people who feel calm + safe will literally regulate your system through mirror neurons.
hugs, holding hands, even voice notes from your bff = nervous system gold.
even petting a dog. even hugging a pillow with lavender oil.
your nervous system doesn’t care if it’s “real” or not. it just wants love.
btw, i’m always here to listen to ya so 💗
now we talk about brain
YOUR BRAIN IS A GODDAMN UNIVERSE. TREAT IT LIKE ONE.
so let’s get this straight:
you wanna be that global idol, soloist, actress, ceo, dancer, doctor, engineer, model, teacher, lawyer, the prettiest face of luxury brands, walk with your head high while everyone’s eyes are glued to you like you’re gravity itself?
then honey? you better be training your brain like it’s a fucking star, like the most important asset of your life.
let’s talk about RAS (reticular activating system) — the gateway to your dream reality
the RAS is a filter in your brainstem that decides what you notice in the world.
you ever learn a new word and suddenly hear it everywhere? or think about someone and they text you?
that’s RAS in action. it’s the brain’s “selective attention” system.
and here’s the wild part:
✨ it’s programmable. ✨
so if you wake up and feed it images of wealth, beauty, love, success, peace, power
the RAS will start scanning the environment for ways to make that real.
you’ll start seeing opportunities.
you’ll meet the right people.
you’ll “magically” land where you need to be.
it’s not coincidence. it’s science.
✧ start here: train your RAS everyday
1. create a vision board (digital, physical, mental doesn’t matter)
2. make a mind movie (a video of your dream life set to music that activates you)
3. record your affirmations in your own voice and listen to them while you get ready
4. journal like you’re already living your dream —“today i woke up in paris with flowers on my balcony…” (you can totally use chatgpt for this)
your subconscious doesn’t know the difference between real + imagined.
so imagine obsessively.
protect your cognitive real estate:
aka: no, you don’t need to be in every group chat. no, you don’t need to scroll till 3am.
attention is your most expensive currency.
every time you give it to something stupid, you’re telling your RAS: “this is what matters.”
→ unfollow people who drain you
→ clear your digital clutter
→ 1 hour a day = no screen, no noise, just you
→ read real books. journal like it’s a prayer. stare into space and let your brain breathe
your nervous system is a little animal you have to soothe it like one.
stop trying to “outthink” your trauma.
you have to out-feel it. (that’s what therapist are for)
you don’t need a new life.
you need a nervous system that can hold the life you already want.
nervous system magic:
• vagus nerve stim: humming, chanting, cold exposure, slow touch
• qigong, yoga, cat-cow movements
• barefoot on the earth
• safe connection: hug someone. or yourself. or a pillow. oxytocin heals.
• rest like a ritual: sleep in blackout, no screens 2 hours before bed, soft music, magnesium
build a focus temple in your life
focus is the biggest asset in today’s world
you can’t be god-level if you’re scattered.
ritualize your focus like monks light incense:
• pick one sacred hour of the day for deep work
• same playlist, same drink, same setup every time = anchors your brain
• eliminate all distractions. wear headphones. close tabs. put phone in another room.
• set timer. 25 mins on, 5 mins off. brain LOVES structure.
discipline is not punishment.
discipline is devotion to the future you.
final rituals: become a high-frequency brain baddie
• daily dopamine reset: no phone for first 30 mins. no junk food. movement > screen.
• write “evidence logs”: every time something good happens, write it down. builds trust.
• label your thoughts: not “i suck” → “this is a scarcity thought pattern. i choose abundance.”
• use scents to program memory — perfume, incense, oils = mood anchors
• mirror work: say it until your cells believe it
• microdoses of beauty: fresh flowers. sunlight. favorite song. brain food for the soul.
• romanticize boring shit: do dishes in your favourite pjs with some music. make your smoothie like it’s a spell. trick your brain into seeing the sacred in the mundane.
YOUR BODY IS YOUR TEMPLE, BUT YOUR BRAIN? IT’S THE ALTAR.
you wanna be a superstar? then you gotta treat your brain like a sacred device, a divine motherboard, a throne room where gods hold council.
no more trash inputs, okay?
• Omega-3s (salmon, walnuts, chia seeds): makes your brain juicy & sharp like a sword.
• Dark chocolate (real, not sugary junk): boosts serotonin and cognition.
• Avocados: healthy fats = smooth thinking.
• Blueberries: literal brain magic. anti-aging. memory-boosting. psychic fairy food.
• Green tea: focus, calm, clarity.
• Turmeric (with black pepper): anti-inflammatory. sharpens your third eye, no joke.
avoid: processed junk, white sugar, excess caffeine, soda these kill your neurons and steal your shine.
CRYSTALS FOR BRAINS THAT RULE REALITIES:
wanna think like a god? wear your altar. hold your ritual. program your crystals.
Fluorite
known as the “Genius Stone” clarity, order, concentration
Amethyst
balances moods, enhances spiritual downloads, calms anxiety
Clear Quartz
master healer amplifies any thought or intention
Labradorite
unlocks intuition, helps access creativity and divine inspiration
Lapis Lazuli
throat + third eye activation — confidence, insight, articulation
(there are more so please do your own research too)
SUBLIMINALS ARE PSYCHIC STEROIDS. USE THEM WISELY.
you wanna rewire your reality? go subliminal.
subliminals = messages that bypass your conscious filter and go straight into your subconscious (the part of your mind that rules 95% of your life).
use subliminals to:
• upgrade your looks (yes, facial structure and skin can shift)
• enhance intelligence, memory, learning speed
• remove limiting beliefs
• manifest luxury, fame, love, power, anything
• regulate emotions + trauma
listen while you sleep. stack affirmations. make your own. reprogram your thoughts like you’re rewriting code. (i personally don’t cause my head hurts but everyone on the internet seems to function fine after listening overnight so you do you, see what works for you)
“OUR EMOTIONS SHAPE OUR DESTINY.” – DR. LISA FELDMAN BARRETT
yes. that’s the queen.
Lisa Feldman Barrett – one of the most iconic modern psychologists.
she said: “Emotions are not just feelings. They are predictions your brain makes about the world.”
baby. this means your emotions aren’t just cute little inner weather reports
they’re codes. previews. they shape how you perceive the world and what you attract.
CONTROL EMOTIONS = CONTROL DESTINY
if you can master your emotional reactions, you can literally start sculpting your fate.
you’ll go from:
“omg why is this happening to me 🥺”
to:
“ah. this is a trigger. this is old wiring. time to reprogram it. thanks, universe.”
USE YOUR EMOTIONS AS FUEL:
• anger → power.
• sadness → transformation.
• jealousy → awareness of what you want.
• boredom → signal to evolve.
your emotions are tools. not curses. not weaknesses. tools.
REALITY IS THOUGHTS TURNED SOLID.
“Everything you see around you was once a thought. Literally.”
somebody thought about inventing the mug you’re sipping from.
somebody thought about the phone you’re scrolling this on.
somebody dreamed of stages and world tours and beauty empires and then built them from neurons.
so now let me ask you this, baby girl:
what are you thinking today?
what are you planting in the garden of your mind?
WHEN YOU FEEL STUCK, ASK:
• why am i resisting this task? (fear of failure? fear of success?)
• what would my highest self do right now?
• what does future me already know that i’m forgetting?
your brain is plastic. not like barbie plastic (although slay), i mean neuroplasticity —
it can change at any age. any moment. every time you choose a new thought, you’re choosing a new future.
what is neuroplasticity, actually?
in plain words?
neuroplasticity is your brain’s ability to change its structure, reorganize itself, rewire its own circuits, and literally form new connections depending on how you think, act, feel, and even imagine.
it’s the reason:
• you can learn to walk again after a stroke
• trauma can change your brain, but healing can rebuild it
• habits form. habits break. habits get replaced.
• you can literally manifest your desired personality, success, skills, vibe, life
the wiring in your brain is not fixed. you are not stuck. your thoughts? your behaviors? they’re rewiring you all day, every day.
you’re literally programming your brain just by being you.
spiritual + psychological fact:
whatever you consistently focus on
whatever emotion you regularly feel
whatever pattern you repeatedly fall into
that becomes your default neurocircuit.
but that also means:
if you build new ones intentionally you become a new you.
how to activate your neuroplasticity
1. Repetition + Intention = neural pathways
keep repeating what you want to believe/do/feel. over and over.
make it juicy. emotional. real. the brain learns through intensity and repetition.
“i am becoming a global icon. my voice moves millions. my presence reshapes reality.”
repeat that till your brain thinks it’s already true and soon, it will be.
2. Visualisation = neural rehearsal
your brain cannot tell the difference between what you vividly imagine and what’s actually happening.
this is why athletes, CEOs, artists they all visualize before they perform.
wanna become a pop icon?
close your eyes. picture the stage. feel the lights. the screams.
your brain begins to rewire as if you’re already that person.
this is called “functional neuroplasticity” — building new functions through mental rehearsal
3. Regulate your nervous system
your brain won’t rewire itself properly if you’re in fight or flight 24/7.
you have to feel safe enough to rewire.
do:
• breathwork (box breathing, alternate nostril)
• vagus nerve stimulation (gargling, cold plunges, humming)
• long nature walks
• grounding (barefoot on earth)
• magnesium-rich food + adaptogens
• meditate. but make it vibey.
4. Use tech to reprogram: SUBLIMINALS + AFFIRMATIONS
subliminals literally bypass your conscious brain and go straight to the subconscious.
pair them with:
• headphones (esp. binaural beats = brainwave entrainment)
• night time listening (again see what works for you and listen accordingly)
• theta wave frequencies (your subconscious is most open here)
your subconscious mind = the operating system.
subliminals = code updates. neuroplasticity = the install button.
APP RECCOMENDATION :- manifest
5. Journaling + affirmations = mirror neurons in action
when you write new beliefs (in present tense), your brain starts mirroring them.
especially if you do it in your own handwriting.
your brain’s like: “oh wait… we’re serious?? okay bet. rewiring now.”
6. Act like the version of you who has what you want
neuroplasticity loves behavior.
you don’t just think your way into new wiring, you act it.
so dress like her. walk like her. post like her. speak like her.
watch how the brain reconfigures itself into that version.
“act as if” is not delusion. it’s neuroscience.
