In this episode, Yvonne is joined by Sabina Brennan a health psychologist, neuroscientist, podcaster and best-selling author. Over the years she has helped thousands of people to make looking after their brain health a part of their daily routine. Enabling them to think more clearly and tap into the true power of their brains, including the ability to manifest. She explains why for some people manifestation is almost second nature, while others struggle to recognise that it is even possible. Sabina and Yvonne also discuss why we all tend to focus on the negative and believe things always go wrong for us and why we have to change that habit. KEY TAKEAWAYS  ·         Even sceptical people can become manifesters. ·         The practice of manifestation is not wishful thinking. It brings clarity about your goals, enables you to actually notice the opportunities, and then take action to achieve them. ·         Without realising it everyone is already manifesting in their day-to-day lives. ·         Protecting us is the primary function of our brains. It is primed to notice the threats, and the negative, and make that our focus. ·         The brain can only process so much information, so its salience filter skims over the positive things and focuses on what could do us harm. ·         When we allow our brain bias to filter out the positive things we enter a cycle of pessimism and cynicism. ·         Setting goals is a highly effective way to train your brain to notice opportunities and notice more positive things. ·         You need to be clear about what you want. If you are not your brain does not know what to pay attention to and how to change. ·         If you want to build a new future, build it on solid foundations, and work on yourself. ·         The more self-aware you are the easier it is to find your passion and set the right goals. ·         Self-acceptance and self-worth play an important role in manifestation. ·         When you stick to the small goals you stick to the big ones. ·         Interrogate your self-beliefs. Most of the limiting ones are not based on reality. ·         Being kind to yourself and others is incredibly empowering. BEST MOMENTS “Manifesting is fundamentally about change. It's about changing your thinking, your behaviour, your reality and your brain.” “Manifesting is gaining clarity around your goals, by visualizing them, and then by developing the discipline to take action, to remain focused on and attain those goals.” “ Opportunities can be straight in front of your face, and you don't see them because you're focusing on something else. You're focusing on the negative.” “Amazing things happen in your brain when you are in flow that allows you to be creative, allow you to freely be yourself without negativity.”  EPISODE RESOURCES  Sabina´s books - https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Dr-Sabina-Brennan/author/B07D5TX965 http://www.sabinabrennan.ie https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-sabina-brennan-83139118 Selective Attention Test (Gorilla) - https://theinvisiblegorilla.com  VALUABLE RESOURCES website: pausepenny.com Instagram: @yvonnetchrakian_manifest @pause.penny LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonne-tchrakian-64257619/ HOST BIO  Yvonne started her career as a corporate lawyer for one of Ireland's top law firms.

Do you ever wonder what you came upstairs for, forget where you've parked the car or find yourself grappling for the right word that just won't come? These are all common concerns for women in midlife because brain fog is one of the classic symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.In my latest Best Bit to celebrate half a million downloads for The Happy Menopause podcast, I'm focusing on brain fog because all that hormonal turmoil plays havoc with the oestrogen receptors in your brain. The resulting forgetfulness, poor concentration and focus, plus a general sense of your brain not firing on all cylinders can be incredibly disconcerting. I've come across many women in my nutrition clinic who were genuinely worried about early onset Alzheimer's when it was actually all about the hormones.  So I'm diving back to Season 2, where we get to the bottom of brain fog with the delightful Dr Sabina Brennan. She's a chartered health psychologist, neuroscientist and host of the Super Brain podcast, so brains are very much her business! Her book Beating Brain Fog is a wonderful read, with lots of practical strategies to support and tune up your brain. Tune in to hear just some of what she's got to say about this tricky subject and for the full episode scoot back to Season 2, Episode 16, where there's a whole load more advice for you that I couldn't squeeze into this taster. Enjoy!If you're a fan of The Happy Menopause, please tell your friends and family, and do give it a 5-star rating and a short review on Apple podcasts, or whichever platform you listen on. It makes a huge difference to the algorithms which influence the visibility of the podcast, so that more women can find the show. Because every woman deserves to have a happy menopause. Check out the full Show Notes for this episode on my website www.well-well-well.co.uk/podcast, where you'll find all the relevant links and references for my guest.

Psychologist and neuroscientist Dr Sabina Brennan explains the ability to manifest an improved life by harnessing the power of our brains.

According to psychologist and neuroscientist Dr Sabina Brennan, we all have the power to manifest our dreams into reality. However, it has nothing to do with wishful or magical thinking. Manifesting, she says, requires a change in the way we think and behave: it's about learning how to harness the power of the brain. In her new book,The Neuroscience of Manifesting, Brennan explains the science behind this mental process and sets out the everyday strategies to help you build the life you want to live. In this conversation with Aideen Finnegan, the former Fair City actress talks about her move from acting into psychology, the importance of self compassion and the core building blocks of manifestation.

How many times do you walk into a room and completely forget why you went there in the first place?  Or maybe you've struggled to find the words you wanted to say.  Or perhaps you've missed an important appointment because you forgot all about it. If these situations resonate with you, rest assured that you're not alone. Many women encounter these everyday challenges because brain fog is a well-known symptom of perimenopause and menopause.Going through your day with your brain not quite firing on all cylinders, finding it difficult to concentrate, focus, or think with the same sharpness as you used to be able to, can be not only frustrating, but also embarrassing. Brain fog can disrupt your productivity at work, lead to a loss of confidence and instil a fear of more serious illnesses such as early-onset Alzheimer's, when in reality, it's most likely tied to the hormonal changes happening in your body.In this episode, I chat to Dr Sabina Brennan who is a psychologist, neuroscientist and host of the Super Brain podcast.   She is also a best selling author and her latest book, Beating Brain Fog, has lots of practical strategies to support and tune up your brain.Join us in our conversation where we dive deep into brain fog including:

Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt recently revealed that he's been suffering with prosopagnosia, a condition more commonly known as ‘face blindness'. The actor revealed that he struggles to the point that it makes him not want to leave his house for fear that he'll be considered as being ‘conceited' as well as the stress of being surrounded by people he doesn't recognise. Prosopagnosia is a neurological condition that is incredibly hard to both diagnose, and to treat. To explain more about it, Dermot and Dave were joined by neuroscientist and host of the Super Brain podcast Sabina Brennan.

Welcome back to Part 2 of our mini series on brain fog and chronic illness. In our last episode, Neuroscientist Dr. Sabina Brennan explained what brain fog actually is and all the different ways it can impact us. As someone who has complained about brain fog for years, but has never thought about it beyond my own subjective experience, I found it fascinating, and highly recommend giving it a listen if you haven’t already. As it turns out, brain fog isn’t a disease, a disorder, or a diagnosis. It’s more a sign “that something is amiss and a signal to take action.” But what does taking action mean when you have an underlying condition? According to Sabina: “Even if you identify [that your brain fog is caused by] your autoimmune disease, your inflammatory disease, or your chronic pain…there may be other factors in your lifestyle that are adding to it or actually just create the tipping point. And actually, if you sort those lifestyle factors, the fog that's caused as a consequence of your condition may not be as bad.”Which is why in today’s episode, we’re exploring the four main factors that contribute to brain fog, and what we can do to help reduce it. And, because this is The Rest Room, of course we’ll be doing this with an understanding that it’s not easy for people with chronic conditions, and offer tips and tricks for how to slowly, safely and sustainably work towards changes that may help with your brain fog, whilst also working for your body and lifestyle. It was a wide-ranging conversation, and I hope you’ll it helpful.To listen, you can just click play at the top of this email, or you can listen on Apple, Spotify, Amazon and Google.

[audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2022/04/25113909/Ronan_Scorpions.mp3"][/audio] It seems like all of our attention spans have gradually been depleted over the past couple of years, and it was summed up by an email we got into dermotanddave@todayfm.com recently. Hey lads, is it just me or do you find that your attention spans are shot? Even when I'm on my phone, I find myself forgetting what I was reading, or looking at a load of different things and then never remembering what I saw. I'm sure my phone is the problem but it's something I hate'. In a Mind Yourself Now special, neuroscientist, author of ‘Beating Brain Fog' and the host of the ‘Superbrain' podcast Sabina Brennan joined Dermot and Dave to explain what's going on and what you can do to improve it.

Like many people living with chronic illness and chronic pain, brain fog is a normal (but bloody annoying) part of my daily life. Whilst I can talk about it subjectively, I never spent much time thinking about what brain fog actually is. I’m not particularly adept at using visual and descriptive imagery to explain things, so I loved when my friend said that brain fog to her is “like trying to load Netflix on dial up internet on a windows 98 computer.”In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr Sabina Brennan, a neuroscientist, health psychologist, and author of the book Beating Brain Fog, who also lives with brain fog herself. Sabina shares some of the fascinating science behind what brain fog is, why people experience brain fog, and all the different ways brain fog can impact us. We’ll also explore what we can do to help.This episode was made possible thanks to my Premium subscribers.

This week we talk to the vivacious Dr. Sabina Brennan health psychologist, neuroscientist and author of the book Beating Brain Fog, about the neurological symptoms that leave some of us feeling foggy, but lead to some people being unable to function.When it comes to Long Covid, Brain Fog is an umbrella term that refers to a myriad of symptoms, stemming from various factions of the brain, that are challenging the day-to-day functioning of thousands of people with Long Covid. It is the second most common symptom amongst Long-haulers. It doesn't sound too frightening - ‘brain fog' - but the reality is that thelatest insights suggest that there is neurological damage and the symptoms can actually stop you living your life. We talk through all the various manifestations of Brain Fog, what the factors are that are causing the fog and the various things we can do about it.
