0:00What are reprogramming audios, and why so powerful?
0:03When I wanted to reprogram something...
0:05There was an audio, Marian, that I listened to for five months—the same one.
0:10Reprogramming my relationship with money has gone incredibly well.
0:14I had a toxic relationship with money, toxic.
0:16Scarcity was normal for me.
0:18If someone had told the me from ten years ago I'd be living this life now,
0:22I wouldn't have believed it for a second.
0:25Begoña del Campo, a psychologist with a master's degree in neuropsychology,
0:29combines cutting-edge brain science with practical,
0:32innovative tools that let you take control of your mind and redesign your reality.
0:37Today, she helps thousands of people transform their minds, habits,
0:41and identity from the inside out.
0:43The reticular system is a part of the brain where you train yourself to pay
0:47attention to what you want.
0:49You can train your memory too, the hippocampus.
0:51In a few years, gyms for the mind will be as normal as gyms for the body are today.
0:56Why? Because artificial intelligence is going to think for you,
1:00and if you don’t think for yourself, if you don’t voluntarily exercise your brain,
1:05you’ll lose structures. My grandmother worked in the fields.
1:08It was unthinkable for her to go to a gym.
1:11Gyms for the body didn’t exist. Why?
1:13Because you used your body to work.
1:15That’s what’s going to happen with the mind.
1:18It’s important to have a good visualization technique.
1:21First, you write down by hand what you want. Then what I do is...
1:25What happens is that you’re giving your brain a direction, and it’ll take you
1:29there, don’t doubt it.
1:31There’s something you want to achieve in this life, and you know exactly what it
1:36is. You know how much more you want to earn, what kind of partner you want,
1:40what kind of life you want to have in, say, two years.
1:43You know all of that because you’ve been thinking about it, reflecting on it.
1:48You’ve clearly spent a lot of time considering these goals, reflecting on
1:53them, and picturing what you want your future to look like.
1:56But then, when you come up against reality, there’s a gap.
2:00There’s a difference between what you’re experiencing today and the
2:04desire you want to achieve. So what’s going on here?
2:07Today we’re going to talk about something that goes way beyond willpower when it
2:12comes to reaching our goals or making everything we want a reality.
2:16And to help us do that, I’ve invited a guest I know you all love,
2:20and who’s been on the podcast before.
2:22She’s Begoña, a psychologist and neuroscience expert,
2:25and she’s going to share with us what our mental limits are,
2:29and just how far our brain can go when it comes to creating the life we want.
2:34Because I want you to break through those mental barriers you have today,
2:38the ones stopping you from reaching that big,
2:41beautiful life we talk about so much on this podcast.
2:44So I want you to stay until the end,
2:47because we’re going to look at all the tools available today and rate them,
2:51to figure out what works, what doesn’t,
2:53and what we can do to make things better so that mental reprogramming tools really
2:58work for us. Stay until the end.
3:00And before we get started, tell me in the comments: before this year ends,
3:05what’s that one thing, that one area you’re having trouble making a reality—in
3:10love, money, or your professional life?
3:12What is it that, if you managed to achieve it by the end of the year,
3:16would make you say, “Wow! This has been my year”? Leave it in the comments.
3:21And with that, let’s get started.
3:23Begoña, welcome to A lo Grande Podcast. How are you?
3:27Fantastic, Marian. I’m looking forward to being back here again.
3:30Because you know we have this mental and spiritual connection between us too,
3:35and it flows really well. And, I’m just so happy to be here.
3:39It’s such a pleasure to have you back here with us.
3:42Our previous episode, well, has been an inspiration to so many people, hasn’t it?
3:46Because you’ve helped us understand how we can take control of our minds,
3:51train them, and that we can do it at any age, without making excuses.
3:55That’s why I wanted to bring you back here,
3:57so this time you can share many more techniques and tools with us
4:01related to mental reprogramming.
4:03And to get started, Begoña, I wanted to ask you this: What happens in our brain,
4:08or in a person’s brain, when they decide they want something more out of life?
4:12What happens at that very moment, when they make that decision? I mean,
4:17what do you come up against mentally when you start wanting more for your life?
4:21When a person begins to desire more for their life,
4:24what do they encounter on a mental level?
4:27What does your mind tell you?
4:28And why is it so hard for us to climb that next step toward the life we want?
4:34That’s an exceptional question, a wonderful question, Marian.
4:38The thing is, our brain is designed to keep us alive.
4:41So this is something I try to help people understand: first,
4:45understand what’s happening to them, so they can take action afterward.
4:50Basically, what happens is that over millions of years,
4:53the brain has evolved precisely for that purpose: to keep you alive.
4:58So when you try to take it out of its comfort zone, out of that comfortable
5:02place, it puts up a thousand obstacles.
5:05A thousand obstacles to keep you where you are,
5:08because where you are is where you’ve survived.
5:11So that’s the main conflict between the modern brain and the emotional brain.
5:16Sometimes I explain it using MacLean’s theory.
5:19It’s a very simple theory: the brain has evolved from the inside out,
5:23like a set of matryoshka dolls.
5:25So on the inside you have the primitive brain, the hypothalamus.
5:29Then, in evolutionary terms, the emotional brain emerged, and after that,
5:34the modern brain. So what happens?
5:36The older parts have more connections,
5:38which means you’re trying to make a change using the modern brain,
5:43which has fewer connections.
5:44And, of course, the earlier parts, the primitive brain and the emotional brain,
5:49carry more weight. So that’s a fairly simple way of explaining it.
5:54Obviously, there are many factors involved,
5:56but it’s a simple biological way to understand it.
5:59Then there are countless other explanations.
6:02For example, you want to change on a conscious level.
6:06In other words, you want a certain kind of life or a certain change,
6:10and you’re absolutely clear about it on a conscious level, I insist.
6:14But then something makes you go back to the way things have always been.
6:19There’s also a really strong social inertia pulling you back to
6:23the way things have always been.
6:25When you dream up a new identity,
6:27what you’re doing—or what you have to do—is let go of an old identity.
6:31And that often means letting go of places, people,
6:35and situations that no longer fit the identity you want to move toward.
6:39So yes, Marian, that’s true.
6:41And I’m telling you from personal experience, because I’ve been through all
6:46of that. When you let go of old versions of yourself, it’s a bit like grieving.
6:51You’re grieving the person you used to be.
6:53So I say I’ve lived many lives within one life,
6:56and that’s because I’ve had to let go of things...
7:00I’ve had to—no, I mean, reinventing yourself has often been optional.
7:04We can talk about that later if you like,
7:07but with the way technology and everything else is going,
7:10reinventing yourself in a few years won’t be optional. It’ll be mandatory.
7:15I mean, you won’t have any other choice.
7:18Nowadays, with all these changes taking place—artificial intelligence,
7:22this is a really huge topic.
7:23I know there's still a lot of resistance from people, but it's inevitable,
7:28it's already present in our lives,
7:30and we can't reject the use of this technology because it's
7:33already part of everyday life.
7:35How is this going to transform our brain?
7:38Mind-blowing. There's a saying I use a lot: if you don't use it, you lose it.
7:43And the brain is no exception.
7:45So, if you delegate your thinking to an external intelligence,
7:48you'll stop working certain brain structures, stop using them, and as a
7:53result, you'll lose neurons.
7:55I mean, this is inevitable.
7:56It is true, Marian, that there's still a lot of resistance,
8:00but the longer people take to realize how important it is to
8:04adapt to all these changes,
8:05the harder it's going to be for them later.
8:08Yeah, that's right.
8:09And I'm going a little off topic here, but I find it fascinating, right?
8:13We say, “We're going to lose neurons,” but it's true that we're, I think,
8:17retraining new areas of our brain so we can communicate
8:20with artificial intelligence.
8:22Or don't you see it that way?
8:24Yes, yes.
8:25I mean, yes, of course, there’s going to be a redistribution in the brain, for
8:29sure. I mean, for sure.
8:31And look, I think there are basically going to be two kinds of people here.
8:35I don’t like being so deterministic, but in this case, I am.
8:39The ones who understand how important this is and say, “Well, let’s see,
8:43I’m going to train my brain, because otherwise I’ll lose it.” Look, for
8:47example, I use my grandmother as an example. She worked in the fields.
8:51It was unthinkable that she’d go to a gym.
8:54I mean, they didn’t exist back then.
8:56At the beginning of the last century, there were no gyms for the body. Why?
9:01Because you used your body working in the fields.
9:03Then, in the middle of the last century, they started popping up. Why?
9:08Because people moved to the cities, started doing more sedentary jobs,
9:12and gyms began to appear. And today, obviously,
9:15everyone goes to the gym to work out so they don’t lose muscle or bone mass,
9:19and so on.
9:20Because work has changed. We don't do physical labor anymore, right?
9:24We have to find it somewhere else.
9:26Exactly. You say, “Well, either I train my body or lose muscle, bone,
9:30and so on.” That’s what’ll happen to the mind. So we have to train it.
9:34There’ll be gyms for the mind.
9:35I opened one two years ago.
9:37I mean, I’ve been a real pioneer in this.
9:39What do mind gyms do? Please explain it to me.
9:43You train specific structures in the brain.
9:46I mean, you train, for example, the amygdala, or the hippocampus,
9:50which is involved in memory,
9:52or the left orbitofrontal cortex when you focus your attention on certain things.
9:57In other words, you'll see that in a few years,
9:59gyms for the mind will be as normal as a regular gym is today. Why?
10:03Because artificial intelligence is going to think for you,
10:07and if you don't think for yourself, if you don't voluntarily exercise your brain,
10:12you'll lose structures. We're actually seeing it happen.
10:15If we were to talk about three basic skills to train—or which parts of the
10:20brain, since you brought that up,
10:22the amygdala and so on—what top three would you pick to train our attention,
10:26our focus, especially with the demands we’re facing right now?
10:29And not just to achieve what we want, but to adapt to these changes.
10:33Adapt, one hundred percent.
10:35Look, there's one thing I really like training, and that's the reticular system.
10:40The reticular system is the attentional system.
10:43It's a part of the brain where you train yourself in what you
10:46want to pay attention to.
10:48For example, if I tell you, “Marian, today, open the app I have.
10:52Boom, this morning's exercise:
10:54today your mission is to look for three acts of kindness from
10:57other people.” That is, three acts by people, or situations that are being...
11:02Or three, or two, or one, it doesn't matter.
11:05But you're going to go out into the world looking for that.
11:08If you look for that, you'll see that.
11:10I mean, you will see that.
11:12You'll say, “People are so nice!” I mean, look.
11:15Like we were saying in the example.
11:17When I got pregnant, all I saw were pregnant women and women with kids,
11:21because that's where you put your attention.
11:24Exactly.
11:25So, of course, it’s about intentionally paying attention to what you want to see.
11:30The reticular system—in other words, your attentional filter—will pick up,
11:34from all the countless inputs around you,
11:37what you’re training it to notice that day.
11:40In this case, the reticular system.
11:42You can train your memory too, the hippocampus, for example.
11:45I mean, there was this really well-known study.
11:48I’m sure you’ve talked about it here with a guest at some point:
11:52the study of London taxi drivers.
11:57They have an incredible capacity for memory,
11:59because they don't use GPS or Google Maps like everyone else does.
12:03Indeed. I think the study was done back when people weren't yet familiar with GPS.
12:08It's a pretty old study, but they found that in the hippocampus,
12:12in the spatial area, there were more neurons.
12:15So that study shows that memory creates new neurons in that part of the brain.
12:20In other words, if you train your spatial memory, you'll have more neurons there,
12:25but that happens throughout the whole brain.
12:28Please give us a tool to train our memory,
12:31especially for those of us with a goldfish memory.
12:34I think it’s not really a memory problem, it’s an attention problem now.
12:38I mean, in my opinion, it’s more about attention than memory.
12:42We have so many things stimulating us that it’s not really that…
12:46Let me give you an example,
12:47because examples always make things easier to understand.
12:51You’re at home and you say, “Oh!
12:53I’m going to get my phone.” No, not the phone. It’s too close at hand.
12:57“I’ll go get a piece of paper,” whatever.
12:59You go into another room, and when you get there you think,
13:03“Why did I come in here?” So you go back to the living room and say, “Oh,
13:07the paper!” Because changing your surroundings changes your memory.
13:11I mean, when you go back to…
13:13Memory has a lot to do with your surroundings. A lot.
13:16Your memory gets activated again when you go back to the living room and think,
13:21“Of course, okay, I was doing this,
13:23and I was looking for the paper.” So often it’s not that your memory is failing,
13:28it’s that your attention is.
13:30I mean, we’re very distracted, we have so many inputs, so many things on our minds,
13:35and we think our memory’s failing.
13:37And what’s worse, a lot of people start worrying as they get older, but no.
13:41People have memory lapses when they’re twenty, thirty, and fifty.
13:45Now, we shouldn’t minimize it when the memory problems are really glaring,
13:50but we’re talking about very occasional moments.
13:52This is happening a lot, especially because our attention is so divided,
13:57so scattered.
13:58What's your favorite tool for helping us train our attention?
14:02I work on my attention several times.
14:05I mean, what I do is set alarms for myself.
14:07I mean, with this app I have, I keep setting alarms.
14:11Then I focus my attention there.
14:13Then, mindfulness, body scanning, for example.
14:16Taking that pause at some point during the day to pay attention to yourself,
14:20to your sensations.
14:21To my body. There's actually a body scan audio that's really quick.
14:25It's five minutes, and you start feeling your feet, your knee;
14:29it guides you through a quick scan.
14:31Getting back into the body, getting out of the mind—so hard today, Marian.
14:35Great, I think this is interesting, not just...
14:38I mean, these are tools for everyday life.
14:41And this gym thing, I hadn't thought about it.
14:43Honestly, it's true, it's really powerful.
14:46It's really powerful, really powerful.
14:48We won't have any other choice: we're going to have to train our brains.
14:53What you don't train, you lose.
14:55If AI is answering you and you're delegating your thinking to it—and we
15:00are—... Another tool I recommend when using AI: when you look for an answer,
15:05take a couple of minutes to think first.
15:08When you want to ask AI something, wait a couple of minutes and think, "Okay,
15:13I'm going to ask it this, but I think it's like this, this,
15:17and this." I'll check it against AI, but think it through yourself first.
15:22Then check it, because if you're just asking it right away...
15:26Delegating. You even delegate your ability to reason to something else,
15:30when that should come from you, right?
15:32And sometimes that happens to me with really obvious things, right?
15:36I mean, before we had this tool, we had to think things through for ourselves.
15:40And now it’s like, “My child has a runny nose,
15:43what could be going on?” I’m making that up, but it’s like,
15:46“I have to ask first.” I stop trusting my intuition,
15:49and my own experience with these kinds of things too, right? I don’t know.
15:54No, no, no, we hand off our thinking.
15:56It's dangerous; we stop thinking for ourselves.
15:59That's intense!
16:01It's just really intense.
16:02And that's the thing, there's a lot of resistance, but honestly,
16:06the longer we take to get on board with it...
16:09And is it true that the more years we have, the more resistance we have to
16:14changes? Or is our brain itself actually more inflexible as we age?
16:18It's a limiting social belief, but it's not true.
16:21No, not at all, absolutely not.
16:23It depends on the training you do every day.
16:25There are people in their nineties with extraordinary mental agility,
16:29and there are people in their twenties who don't have that at all.
16:33So no, I don't think there's resistance.
16:35I think there's a social belief that that's how it is.
16:38And when you have a belief, the brain will always say amen to whatever you believe.
16:43So if you believe that, as you get older, learning gets harder,
16:47your brain will say amen to that, and learning will get harder for you.
16:51But I insist, there you're feeding an irrational belief. It's not true.
16:55It's not true.
16:57Scientifically?
16:58It's not true. Neuroplasticity lasts your whole life.
17:02Studies have been done, and there's even this really lovely study.
17:06They put people over eighty into something like a reality show,
17:10where everything was from thirty years earlier: the furniture,
17:14with no mirrors anywhere, not even a single one.
17:18I mean, they couldn't even see themselves.
17:21They were simply in a reality created with news from the sixties.
17:25Everything was as if they were really living there.
17:28And then they looked at their telomeres, which is how cellular aging is analyzed,
17:34and they saw that they had actually rejuvenated. I mean, just imagine!
17:38It's so crazy. The mind is, like, really next-level.
17:42The power of our mind is something whose full capacity we still haven't grasped.
17:47Actually, another study I found was by a Spanish neurologist, Álvaro Pascual.
17:52He asked one group to practice a simple piano exercise for two hours a day,
17:57for five days, and another group was asked simply to imagine doing the exercise,
18:02with their hands kept completely still.
18:04He says the area of the brain that controls their fingers grew in both
18:08groups, both in the people who practiced and in the people who only imagined
18:13they were playing the piano.
18:15I mean, even to that extent.
18:16Now, here I'm already taking it a little bit to the extreme.
18:20If I just imagine that I'm working out at the gym and lifting weights,
18:24can I rewire my biology as if I had actually trained?
18:28Not as if you had trained, but more than if you hadn't.
18:32I mean, imagine three groups of subjects.
18:34One group doesn't train at all, another trains only mentally,
18:38and the other actually trains in practice.
18:41Is de facto?
18:42“De facto” means they train by going to the gym.
18:46In other words, they really do train. De facto, for real.
18:49So here, look, the people who train, obviously, there’ll be more…
18:54There’s literally a breakdown of muscle tissue, and then it gets rebuilt.
18:59Anyway, these people are obviously going to build muscle.
19:02But they build more than these people do.
19:05In other words, the people who mentally rehearse the movement, okay?
19:10They build some muscle, some, okay?
19:12I’m not saying it’s the same, obviously…
19:15But there is a difference compared with people who don’t exercise mentally.
19:20This is just amazing. I mean, this is… I think it’s…
19:23I read studies and I’m fascinated.
19:25I mean, there are studies that are truly fascinating about the power of the mind.
19:31What we can do with our minds, for better or worse.
19:34The nocebo effect, the placebo effect.
19:37I mean, for me, the placebo effect is the clearest example of how the brain works,
19:42and of the power your mind can have.
19:45And the nocebo effect is the opposite.
19:47I mean, people who attack themselves with their thoughts.
19:51In the end, as we were saying,
19:53the brain can’t tell whether what you’re visualizing is actually happening or not.
19:59So then, if you believe a lion is attacking you, that’s when the chemistry
20:03starts.
20:04I mean, your heart starts beating faster, your adrenal glands release cortisol,
20:10more blood goes to your legs.
20:12Anyway, all of that really does happen in your body.
20:16I see you as a machine for getting things done, for building things.
20:21How old are you? I’m going to tell you something I don’t usually say.
20:25And the thing is, every time I want to bring a big-name expert onto this podcast,
20:30one of those people you’ve been asking me for month after month,
20:34the first thing they ask me is, “How many people follow you,
20:37Marian?” That’s how brutally this works.
20:40So today I’m asking you for one specific favor: subscribe to the channel.
20:44If you’ve already subscribed, all you have to do is turn on the notification bell.
20:49You can do that now, right below this video.
20:52Every subscription to the channel is a key that opens the
20:55door to the next interview,
20:57the one that’s going to change the lives of all of us who are
21:01part of this community.
21:02Thanks for being here, and with that, let’s continue this interview.
21:07Fifty-five
21:08I mean, I look at you, and you seem younger and younger all the time.
21:12And above all, not just physically, but also in the way you work, right?
21:17I mean, you're really dynamic, really active, you do so many things, you
21:21research, you study all the time.
21:23It's like you have so much vitality.
21:25What works for you nowadays when you're trying to, like, make things happen?
21:30I mean, you say, "Look, I want to be on this podcast, or I don't know,
21:34I want to bring in more revenue with my business," right?
21:38And then you face the reality that you have to do so many things.
21:42But how do you train your mind to keep moving toward that goal?
21:46I'm going to share a few tips that I use myself, right? First of all: passion.
21:51I mean, for me, passion—passion for what I do, for everything I think about.
21:56Whatever you're doing, do it with passion.
21:58I've had businesses, I've had... Well, I had a restaurant.
22:02I worked as a cook, as a waitress, then in real estate,
22:05then I taught people how to drive.
22:07I taught classes, I taught mechanics, remember I told you?
22:10To professional drivers. I taught mechanics and explained the engine.
22:14And I explained the engine,
22:16and I was just so passionate about explaining the engine.
22:19You truly loved it
22:20I was passionate about engines. And, of course, later,
22:24when I studied psychology and then did my master’s in neuroscience,
22:28I made a lot of parallels.
22:29In fact, I still draw parallels between an engine and the brain.
22:33They’re machines that work.
22:35And that’s why I like knowing how things work. So, that’s one…
22:39For me, it’s the fuel of my life. Passion.
22:41Do everything with passion.
22:43I mean, it doesn’t matter if you make a mistake, just do it with passion.
22:47It’s wonderful. And then, you know, there’s something else that I find really…
22:52In fact, I read a study about this just recently, and it’s wonderful.
22:56I’m going to tell you about the study first,
22:59and then explain why it’s important for what you visualize to actually happen.
23:04Let me explain.
23:05Imagine they took some subjects, put them in a functional MRI machine,
23:09and scanned their brains.
23:11There’s an area of the brain called the self-referential area.
23:14In other words, when you think about yourself, that area lights up.
23:19Your sense of self, right?
23:20It turns out that when they asked them to think about a version of
23:24themselves ten years from now,
23:26their future self, that part didn’t light up. It’s like you were…
23:30But that’s how it works in all human beings.
23:33All of us, or almost all of us. That’s how it works…
23:36That self-referential part doesn’t light up.
23:38So they said, “Let’s do an experiment.
23:41Let’s make an app that ages a photo of you by ten years,
23:44and you’ll have to interact with your future self three times a day.” I mean,
23:49every day you’ll talk to your future self about your plans,
23:52as if you were building a relationship with your future self. Three weeks later,
23:57they put those subjects back in the functional MRI machine and ask them to
24:02imagine themselves ten years from now.
24:04And the self-referential area lights up.
24:07God, 'cause they've seen
24:09They’ve connected with their future self. You can’t...
24:12And that’s where we explain procrastination.
24:15You can never fight for a future version of yourself that you don’t feel is yours.
24:20So I think, for me,
24:21it’s so important—and this study backs up what I’m saying here—that
24:25you connect with your future self,
24:27that you fall in love with your future self.
24:29Because if you’re already clear on who your future self is, you’ll get moving,
24:34you’ll start walking toward them.
24:36But if your future self is a stranger, you won’t walk toward them.
24:40Visualization is... You say, “Okay,
24:42I’m going to picture myself as my future self.” But if they’re
24:45still a stranger to you,
24:47if you’re not getting up in the morning saying, “I’m coming toward you.
24:51I’m in love with you, with my future self, and I’m coming toward you.
24:55And I’m definitely going to get there,” then that’s the difference, Marian:
24:59you can visualize, but if you don’t move, it’s not going to work.
25:03Visualization is incredibly powerful.
25:06But when you close your eyes, you visualize.
25:08When you open your eyes, you have to think, “Okay,
25:12so what do I do now?” That’s the key.
25:14And here, please, I want people at home to meditate on this, to reflect on it.
25:19Visualize: “Perfect. Wonderful. Wow! That’s so good!
25:22Ooh, that feels so nice!” And now I open my eyes and,
25:26if there isn’t a “So what do I do now to get there?”, it doesn’t work.
25:30I’m very pragmatic.
25:31And I’ll tell you, Marian: “A million euros, a million euros, a million euros.
25:36Okay, yes. So what do I do now?
25:38What do I do now?” So, if the “What do I do now?” doesn’t come,
25:42it’s not going to work for you.
25:45Sure, because sometimes we leave it, well...
25:47Visualize and let it go
25:49Visualize and let go, exactly.
25:51Let go of the anxiety. That's okay, of course. Let go of the anxiety.
25:55I mean, it's not like, “Okay, come on, that's it, now.” No. Let go, relax, trust.
26:00Trust life.
26:01It's something I say a lot: “Trust life, but get moving.” I mean, get moving.
26:06“What should I do?” Every day I ask myself,
26:09“What should I do?” I wanted to come on this podcast.
26:12I saw you on a podcast two years ago and thought,
26:15“I want to be on this woman's podcast. I love it.
26:18I mean, I love it.” Honestly, it was with Don María Alonso.
26:21-Oh, yes. -First one, I think... Was it here twice?
26:25No, they've only been on the podcast once.
26:27I think it was with Don Mario Alonso, but I don't remember.
26:30But I do remember having that intention.
26:33And obviously, well, here I am. Here I am.
26:35And this is the second time I'm here.
26:37I wished for it, I thought about it, but I also got moving. I get moving.
26:42You've got to get moving.
26:44It's the key.
26:46So, everyone watching us has to visualize with emotion, with intention,
26:50and when they open their eyes, say, “Okay, okay, what do I do now?”
26:55Later on, I'm going to ask you about how we can connect with or create
27:00that future version of you. I mean, I want to know...
27:03A surprise!
27:04Oh, I love it.
27:05Stay, stay until the end so you can hear the whole thing all the way through.
27:09Now, since you’ve already touched on the subject of visualization,
27:13I’d really like to make this into a little game for you, okay? Let’s do a ranking.
27:18I’ll give you different tools that are really popular these days for
27:22reprogramming your mind and manifesting things.
27:25Well, in any case, you can call it whatever term you want.
27:28And you’ll tell me, from one to ten, how effective each one is.
27:32And, for example, if you tell me, “Well, a six,
27:34or a five,” whatever the score may be, what would be missing,
27:38or what would this tool need in order to make it a ten?
27:41Okay? Okay, let's see.
27:43Well, we've already launched the first one. Visualize.
27:46What score would you give it?
27:48A ten. A well-done job.
27:50Done well. Done well.
27:51What's our biggest mistake when visualizing things?
27:54There are several. One mistake is visualizing without emotion. Why?
27:58Well, because if you visualize without emotion, it means it isn't important.
28:03I mean, when you... Then, the technique.
28:05It's really important to have a good visualization technique. The technique.
28:10I have one, and it goes like this: first, you write down by hand what you want.
28:14Writing by hand connects your body, your eye, your hand, your thoughts.
28:18I mean, there's a connection.
28:20You're here, doing it by hand.
28:22And it also activates an area of the left hemisphere that connects through a bridge.
28:27It's like a bridge through the corpus callosum to the right hemisphere.
28:31I mean, it's incredibly powerful. By hand.
28:33As if I already had it. So, what do I want then?
28:36And also, you know, when you write, it takes you longer than, for example,
28:41if you dictate it. Obviously.
28:43So that gives your brain time to visualize what you're writing.
28:47I mean, “I get up in the morning and see the sun.” And you're already feeling joy.
28:52“I hear my son's voice, and we're on vacation,” whatever it is.
28:56You're writing, and as you're writing, you're already visualizing it,
29:00because you have time to form that image.
29:03And then you're already enjoying it, and adding sensory details to your
29:07imagination. That's so important.
29:10Then what I do is record it in my own voice.
29:12I put on some nice music, work with hertz and all that.
29:16I'll tell you about that later, but the point is, at home,
29:19people should put on whatever music relaxes them, something that relaxes them.
29:24The point is to lower the frequency of your brain waves.
29:28You record it in your own voice, and then you listen to it every now and then.
29:33Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and enjoy it.
29:36If you're not enjoying it, then it doesn't matter that much to you,
29:40and you're not going to get it.
29:43Maybe what you're setting out to do isn't yours.
29:46It comes from someone else telling you that you should be there.
29:50Imagine that, for you, the most important things are family, love, and so on,
29:54and you write, “I'd love to have a Mercedes,
29:57I don't know what class.” You hear yourself say it,
30:00and it does absolutely nothing for you.
30:02Yes. Autopilot.
30:06So you won't have drive or passion.
30:08You have to feel pleasure as you listen.
30:11Pleasure.
30:12It has to fill you with excitement, give you pleasure, make you say,
30:16“I want to go there.” And then what happens is that you’re
30:19giving your brain a direction.
30:21And imagine, out of all the infinite inputs around you,
30:24you’ll pick up on the ones that take you there, because your unconscious part,
30:28which hears and sees everything, will pick up on the inputs that lead you there,
30:33because you’ve given it the coordinates. It’s like a map.
30:36And you’ve given it the coordinates. And it’ll take you there. Don’t doubt it.
30:41Do you have to set a date?
30:42I always ask this because I don't know how long we can control things.
30:46Especially those of us who are really controlling. It happens to me a lot.
30:51“I want this much money in this amount of time.” I don't know.
30:54Well, the answer is ambivalent because, sure, on the one hand you say,
30:59“It takes the gas out of you indefinitely.”
31:02You see, yeah.
31:03It keeps draining your energy indefinitely.
31:05But if you set a date and it gets closer,
31:08it can make you feel frustrated and doubtful. It's complicated...
31:12I don't think there's a good answer.
31:14I think it really depends on how each person feels.
31:17If you're someone who gets stressed about setting goals,
31:20maybe you need to relax when you're writing them down.
31:23Exactly. I think it depends on the person.
31:26If you need to have everything under control,
31:28and you set a date knowing it'll frustrate you and you'll have a
31:32hard time dealing with it, better not set one.
31:35But if you handle frustration well, you say, “It's okay.
31:38It was supposed to be September, but that's fine. It'll be December.
31:42I keep going. It's fine.
31:44Everything happens for a reason.” I always say, “Hey!
31:47Everything happens for a reason.
31:49I don't understand it now, but in time I'll look back and say,
31:52‘Thank goodness.’ It'll just be later.”
31:55Very good. So, great.
31:57Yeah. Well, the visualization gets a ten when it’s done well;
32:00a well-done visualization gets a ten from me, too.
32:04It's key
32:05It's the technique, a good technique, something that excites you,
32:09and what I told you.
32:10When you open your eyes, say, “So what do I do now?” And take action, action,
32:14action. Without action, there’s no change.
32:17Perfect. Second, saying affirmations and mantras while in front of a mirror.
32:21Or writing down my mantras and affirmations and putting them up on a
32:25mirror.
32:29Why? Give me a justification for your answer.
32:32Yes, yes, yes, I'll explain why.
32:34If you talk to your brain when it can't hear you,
32:37and in a language it won't understand, it's hard for the message to get through.
32:41And I'll clarify that now.
32:43Yes. An affirmation has to be said with emotion—the language the unconscious
32:48understands—and in a language it understands:
32:51in the present tense, positively.
32:53That meets the criteria, which is why I gave it a five.
32:56But it has to be at a time when it can hear you. Why?
32:59Because if you're going fast, brushing your teeth in the bathroom, whatever,
33:03whatever, you're operating totally consciously.
33:06And what you want to do is speak to your unconscious, not your conscious part,
33:11but your unconscious.
33:12What level or frequency do you speak at?
33:14You speak to it at certain moments.
33:17There are times when your unconscious...
33:19Let me give the people watching us an example to help them understand how it
33:24works. Imagine a castle.
33:26A castle with a moat around it, a lake, and a bridge.
33:29The castle is the unconscious, and you’re outside.
33:32Your conscious mind would be the part that’s outside.
33:35It turns out there are two moments when the drawbridge opens and you
33:40can enter the unconscious. What are those moments?
33:43When you’re going to sleep, there are a few minutes when your brain is in Z waves,
33:48and you’re one hundred percent suggestible, like a child.
33:52Or when you wake up in the morning.
33:54There’s a moment then, too.
33:56That one’s more complicated,
33:57because in the morning the brain tends to have a lot of
34:01momentum toward taking action. But at night...
34:04That’s why affirmations are great,
34:06but you have to say them when your unconscious can hear you.
34:10Sure, if you’re driving and listening to affirmations...
34:13Yeah, yeah, and you're listening to the radio.
34:16The drawbridge is closed. No, no, it's closed. It's just closed.
34:21The kids have that drawbridge down all the time, twenty-four seven.
34:26That's why they live in the present moment all the time, every moment of every day.
34:32And they're super suggestible. Their brains...
34:35But what I'm talking to you about is a matter of brain waves.
34:39I mean, you and I are in beta right now, pretty high beta,
34:43because we're mentally sharp and awake.
34:45Then the frequency starts to drop, the speed: beta, alpha, and theta.
34:50Theta waves are the ones where the brain is highly suggestible.
34:54Then you have to speak to it at that moment in a language it understands,
34:59which is usually symbolic, in the present tense, and in the first person, too.
35:05I use symbols, for example.
35:06If I want to describe a change, I describe two banks of a river, a bridge.
35:11If I want to describe your new identity, I can guide you with my voice as you walk,
35:17cross that bridge, look back and leave that past identity behind,
35:21and arrive somewhere where you're you, where you really want to be.
35:26And there, you're giving the unconscious symbols.
35:29Usually, the most limiting beliefs especially get implanted,
35:33or the neural networks get connected, in the first two or three years of life,
35:38when language still isn't there as yet.
35:41So the unconscious is very symbolic.
35:44That's why those first two, three years are...
35:46Well, the first years of a child's life are vital,
35:49because you're building the whole architecture of their mind, right?
35:53What they'll believe in the future.
35:56Yeah, the thing is, we also have to take the pressure off people,
36:00because they might think, “Oh, no!
36:02I said that to so-and-so, or I yelled at them.” No, I mean,
36:05that can create a lot of tension, right?
36:08So, yes, during the first two years, it’s true that you’re very, very permeable.
36:12It’s very easy to reach that unconscious part and for connections to form,
36:17and so on. But then you’re very malleable.
36:19The good thing is, you’re very malleable.
36:22I try to help people understand that identity is very malleable. Very.
36:26That’s why I’ve shed my past identity many times.
36:29I’ve lived many lives within my life, and that’s why I speak from experience.
36:33So, yes, connections may have formed in childhood,
36:36and a lot of mine formed the wrong way. I mean, many times...
36:40I mean, I had a programming error.
36:42I was a program that was a disaster.
36:44I don't, I don't believe you
36:46Absolutely, Marian. My wiring was, well, honestly, it was such a mess.
36:51So the first thing I did was reprogram myself so I could help everyone else.
36:56So, of course, it's impossible.
36:58There's no brain that's perfectly wired.
37:01I mean, it's just impossible.
37:03We all have mental flaws.
37:07We all have our own. See, it's not a life sentence.
37:10-So important! -Awesome!
37:13Beyond just looking for the tool you need,
37:15you have to trust that you have the power to break any belief or mental
37:20structure you've been taught, starting right now.
37:23I mean, right now, right now, it doesn't matter how old you might be.
37:27Right, I mean, starting now, starting today.
37:30I say you have to keep repeating your new identity to yourself, over and over,
37:35until your unconscious mind gives in and says, “That’s who you are.” If you say,
37:41“No, I’m X,” and you, for example...
37:43There’s an exercise I recommend too.
37:45And it’s to describe yourself...
37:48I mean, I ask you, “Marian, write down what you’re like.
37:51Describe yourself.” “I’m organized, absent-minded, I’m affectionate,
37:56I’m...” And then, well, those are the labels you give yourself.
38:00And your brain is going to make you behave according to those labels.
38:07Choose the ones you don’t like...
38:09when I ask you what you’re like, don’t hold back.
38:12Say the good and the bad about yourself.
38:14What you believe, what you believe.
38:16And you list twenty things.
38:18And it turns out, out of those twenty, you say, “Well, there are twelve I love.
38:22But there are eight that I wish were different.” Well, next to them, write...
38:28What should it be?
38:29The opposite. “Am I a messy person?
38:31Well, I’m an organized person.
38:33From now on, I’m organized.” If anyone asks you, you can tell them, “I love
38:38order. I just love it.” At first, it’s like the brain...
38:42Don't see it
38:43You even laugh.
38:44You say, “What a silly thing I just said.” But at some point, the brain,
38:48which loves consistency, loves consistency between what you say and what you do,
38:53will make you start, without even realizing it, picking things up,
38:57and you'll become an organized person. For sure.
38:59I mean, one hundred percent.
39:01Begoña, how long can it take me to change that identity?
39:04That’s a good question. It’s a huge question. It takes months.
39:08It takes months.
39:09Don’t let anyone tell you that watching an Instagram reel is going to transform you,
39:14or reading a book. No.
39:15I compare it to learning a language.
39:17Imagine that all of a sudden you go abroad, you go to Italy.
39:21Then you start speaking Italian every day.
39:23After two years, someone asks you something,
39:26and you answer straight away in Italian.
39:28Then you come back to Spain and start speaking Spanish again.
39:32What happened there? You connected new neural pathways.
39:35And while those new neural pathways were receiving input, you kept speaking
39:39Italian. But when I came back to Spain, you went back to speaking Spanish,
39:44and when someone speaks to you, you answer in Spanish. What am I trying to say?
39:48What I mean is, when you change a belief, it’s the same thing.
39:52In other words, you create a new neural pathway, and when you get input,
39:56you respond in this new way.
39:58But, careful, if you don’t maintain it,
40:00if you don’t maintain it—that’s why you have to exercise your
40:03mind—if you don’t maintain it,
40:05the old pathway, the old neural pathway, can come back.
40:08I mean, we don't completely erase the old pathway. It's there.
40:12We don't erase it. That's why you have to love and care for yourself.
40:16Because, sure, you say, “No, I want to change.” And yes, and you change.
40:20You do change. But don't forget the other path is still there.
40:24It'll always stay.
40:26It can always be there. You can always respond in that other way.
40:30But, look, if you go back to Spain and someone talks to you,
40:34you’re not going to answer in Italian, you’re going to answer in Spanish.
40:38See, you still know Italian, but your brain responds...
40:41I mean, it quickly leads you to answer in Spanish.
40:45In other words, you’ve automated a response.
40:47What I’m saying here is that responses become automatic.
40:51The brain doesn’t forget; the brain replaces. It replaces that.
40:55You can’t say, “Oh, I’m going to forget this neural pathway.
40:58I’m getting rid of it, it’s gone.” No.
41:01What happens is, when you stop using it, it gets weaker.
41:04Weaker and weaker, and the new one starts to take over.
41:08And when an input comes in, when someone says to you, “Honestly,
41:11you’re dressed terribly!” instead of confronting them, you say, “Well, look,
41:16hey, it’s too bad you don’t like it.” But you don’t get upset anymore.
41:21I mean, you respond differently now, you’re less reactive.
41:24For example, someone who says they’re very reactive.
41:27Or someone who needs a lot of external validation.
41:30And then there comes a point when you adopt a new belief:
41:34“I don’t care what other people think.
41:36I know who I am.” And you repeat it to yourself: “I just don’t care what you
41:41think. I know who I am.” And when someone criticizes you, it doesn’t affect you
41:46anymore. Why?
41:47Because you respond in a new way.
41:49You’ve adopted the belief that you don’t need external validation.
41:53To put that belief into practice, Begoña—that new belief, for example,
41:58“I’m organized.” Right, how real does it have to feel?
42:01Because, of course, the way you say it, at first, it’s difficult for you,
42:05because you say, “Right, I’m disorganized, and now I’m saying that I’m organized.”
42:11It's like seeing yourself dressed up in a mirror. But what happens?
42:15At some point, if you see yourself in that same mirror often enough,
42:19you recognize yourself.
42:20And it stops feeling strange, because the brain gets used to everything. I am A.
42:25For example, I'm messy, I'm A. But I want to be X.
42:28Then at some point I start saying, “No, I am X. No, I am X. No, no, no way!
42:32I am X.” And your brain goes like this.
42:34It gives in, it automates it: “You are X.” Then, if you are X, you act like X.
42:39If you're organized, your brain will...
42:41Because this happens at an unconscious level.
42:44Your brain will make sure there's consistency between what you believe and
42:48what you do. And you'll start tidying up.
42:51This is just so beautiful. It's really beautiful.
42:54How cool! Okay, let's see, getting back to the exercise, but this is so interesting.
42:59I loved it. Vision boards, or dream boards.
43:02-An eight. -Eight.
43:04Eight, yes. They're images, and the unconscious is very symbolic.
43:08So, you're sending symbols.
43:09Yes, it works. So, what else would have to happen for it to become a ten?
43:14See them at the right moment, and with emotion. I mean, at the moment...
43:19For example, for it to be a ten, bring your brain down to theta waves.
43:23For example, you listen to an audio that brings your mental gears down to alpha,
43:29and then you visualize—I mean, with the vision board, you visualize with emotion.
43:34You look at it, close your eyes, enjoy it.
43:37So you’re putting emotion into it.
43:39It’s fine to always have the vision board there, to give it that image,
43:44because in the end you walk past it and your unconscious is picking it up.
43:49But if you pair that with intentional emotion, then even better.
43:53You find the moment, what you say,
43:55the language when the unconscious is most receptive.
43:58Exactly, that moment when the castle drawbridge opens,
44:02and you can speak directly to your unconscious side.
44:06What's the biggest mistake we make when creating vision boards?
44:10Because I know they don't work for everyone,
44:13and I'm sure a lot of people get discouraged with this tool.
44:16I think they use images that don’t really represent them well.
44:21I mean, imagine someone wants to find a partner.
44:24So they go and tell the AI, “Generate some random guy for me.” Then, of course,
44:29it generates a guy with your face, or a person with your face,
44:33and you look at it there,
44:35and your unconscious just doesn’t quite manage to believe it.
44:39It’s like, “This person...”
44:41Maybe it doesn't represent someone you like or are drawn to, right?
44:45I mean, it might have shown you an image of someone handsome, or whatever,
44:49but it doesn’t represent you at all.
44:51Or your unconscious knows perfectly well that, sure, you generated it with AI,
44:56for example, or took it from a magazine and pasted it in just like that,
45:00but it isn’t real. So what do I recommend?
45:02For example, an image of two hands holding each other.
45:07More symbolic.
45:08Or a person's sense of smell.
45:10I mean, when you're visualizing, imagine that you're there, in that person's arms.
45:16I mean, something that's more sensory and less visual.
45:19Like, a vision board, if it's too detailed,
45:22it kind of cuts off what you can do with your creativity.
45:26So I think the images need to be more abstract,
45:29images that bring up emotions that are more connected to the senses, more
45:34sensory. The idea is to feel the moment, rather than picture every detail of it.
45:40A sense of smell, the touch of a hand.
45:43If it's the scene with that person, how do I feel then?
45:46Exactly, that's right, precisely. If it is too cold...
45:50Yes, indeed, an image, a picture of...
45:52For example, a car.
45:53I want a new car, so I put a picture of the car there, that's all.
45:57Maybe I need to see myself inside the car.
46:00Touching the steering wheel, touching the steering wheel. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:05So let's talk about the gratitude journal.
46:07Giving thanks when I still don't have it yet.
46:10Saying, “Thank you for this job.” I still don't have it yet.
46:13I'm setting an intention.
46:14So, would it work to give thanks for something I don't have yet?
46:18Would that work as a way of giving thanks for what I still don't have?
46:22A ten. Gratitude, for me, is a ten.
46:24You see, what gratitude does is change the brain's mood.
46:28I mean, the emotional brain I told you about at the beginning.
46:32I said to you, “There are kind of three layers,
46:35like a matryoshka doll.” The one in the middle is the emotional brain.
46:39Evolutionarily, it's designed for basically two things: to protect us from
46:44threats, fear, or to bond and reproduce, love.
46:47So when you give thanks, you're putting it on the side of love.
46:51And I give thanks for everything.
46:53I mean, for me, gratitude is the tool, in capital letters.
46:57You can do it in writing, you can do it in your mind.
47:00In the present moment, you know?
47:02I mean, giving thanks for the job I want.
47:05Like, “Thanks for this job.”
47:06Giving thanks in advance, that's wonderful.
47:09But being grateful for what you truly have right now, that is,
47:13what you're looking for...
47:15I'm talking about gratitude in general.
47:17Giving thanks in advance, be careful.
47:19Be careful there, and there's a reason for that.
47:22Because if you put yourself in a scene, in a visualization, and you give thanks,
47:27right? For example, you say,
47:29“I'm grateful that I have a million euros.” Then you're giving your brain that
47:34satisfaction, and you're taking away the energy it needs to get there.
47:38You're giving it that gratification already.
47:41The dopamine the brain is looking for.
47:43Be careful, because of the frustration, the work,
47:46the energy it takes to get there—hey, we have to be careful with this.
47:51The other day I read a study; I don't really remember who it was by,
47:55but it was along those lines.
47:56It said that, sure, if you visualize that everything is already done,
48:00you're telling your brain, “Don't do anything,
48:03it's done already.” So you have to visualize the journey too.
48:07We have to be careful with that.
48:09I'm more into being grateful for what I already have,
48:12for what my senses can actually see,
48:14than being grateful for something that could give me incredible satisfaction to
48:19have, but could also take away the fuel I need to get there.
48:23I mean, we have to be careful with that. They're little details.
48:27I think, I feel like you lose that factor you mentioned when we were
48:31talking about visualization,
48:32that “So, what do I do now?” I mean,
48:34because you give thanks as if you’ve already got it all wrapped up,
48:38and now I just go on living my life as if nothing happened, right?
48:42Where’s the action? I think that needs to always, always be there.
48:45How far does discipline go, Begoña? I mean, what’s the limit?
48:49I mean, how far does being a disciplined person work well,
48:52and where’s the point where your mind says, “Okay,
48:55discipline has gone as far as it can. You need something else”?
48:58Discipline, for me, is an essential ingredient.
49:01Consistency, discipline, just as much as passion. You know, you can...
49:06When someone starts something. Just imagine,
49:09“I want to learn English.” And you’re super excited for the first few days.
49:14That’s, let’s say, the initial push.
49:16It’s like picking up a stone and throwing it really far.
49:20And it goes really, really far away.
49:23Well, discipline is carrying that stone in your hand, walking, walking, walking,
49:28to get even farther.
49:29So discipline also has a lot to do with that connection to your future self.
49:35In other words, being excited about the idea of meeting that version of you.
49:40Because, also, you know, Marian, decisions... I mean,
49:43I think—and this is just my opinion—that there are infinite versions of Marian,
49:49infinite futures. Infinite means infinite.
49:51And then with every action you take during your day,
49:55you’ll collapse into one version or another.
49:58For example, I picture a healthy, strong, fit, happy Marian...
50:02Okay, well, the food you choose today is going to help you get there.
50:07Going to work out today is going to help you get there, or somewhere else.
50:12I mean, if suddenly you start eating sugar,
50:15you’re going to collapse into a version of Marian who might be sick in the future.
50:20If you choose your food well...
50:22I mean, every little action of the day is going to make you collapse...
50:27Decide. Imagine, endless networks.
50:29And if you make one decision, you go this way.
50:32Then you make another decision and go that way.
50:35And it can take you to one, or another, or another, Marian. So this is something...
50:40It's powerful,
50:41because it gives you back responsibility for every action you take each day.
50:45Where do you want to take your self?
50:47I call it the quantum self—I love talking about that—because
50:50it's in every dimension, in space-time. It has no place.
50:54You choose it whenever you want.
50:55With the decisions you make during your day.
50:58What do you choose each day?
51:00If you make a decision out of fear, for example.
51:02You decide to go give a talk in front of three thousand people.
51:06And then you say, “Oh, great!” But then the fear starts to kick in.
51:10And that’s when you say, “I don’t think this is the year,
51:13because my child is so little, because they need me so much,
51:17because this has to be prepared properly,
51:19because the responsibility is huge.” So your brain is going to give you
51:24impeccable arguments so you can say,
51:26“I’m sorry, but yes, next year, but not this year.
51:29But count on me next year.” Then you say,
51:31“Thank goodness I’m so responsible.” But it was fear that acted, not
51:35responsibility. Then you disguised it as responsibility.
51:39Oh, no, Begoña, tell me,
51:40how do I tell the difference between fear and responsibility?
51:44Or is it because sometimes we disguise it as, “My intuition is telling me,” right?
51:48“My intuition is telling me I shouldn’t,” when really,
51:52maybe it’s your mind sabotaging you, trying to protect you,
51:55and that isn’t necessarily your intuition.
51:58How do you recognize that in your own inner dialogue with yourself?
52:02I recognize it in two ways.
52:04Time—that is, how long it takes you to realize it.
52:07For example, if it’s something instantaneous, that’s intuition.
52:10If you take a few minutes to work it through, then we’re talking about...
52:15You’re sabotaging yourself, or you’re...
52:17Intuition is something quick. It’s a feeling.
52:20For example, someone offers you the chance to give that talk,
52:23and you feel happy and say, “Wow!
52:25Great!” But then fear starts to set in.
52:27“No, because now isn’t the time, because that’s a lot of people,
52:31and I have to be well prepared.
52:33I can’t go halfway, I can’t give it half effort.” That’s when the fear starts.
52:38Sure!
52:39Fear starts. And then it's, how do I recognize it? Time and the body.
52:43I mean, the body, the sensation it gives you in your body, the first one.
52:47In other words, I feel peace or do I feel tension?
52:50The first thing—but the first thing, quickly.
52:55I love that tool. Tune into your body. What do you feel? What does it tell you?
53:01First.
53:02I freeze up, I say,
53:02“Careful.” Then it’s hard for me to decide whether it’s yes or no,
53:06because sometimes opportunities come along and you think, “Wow!
53:10No one would turn this down,” but then it’s like... right? I mean, tension.
53:14That’s why I asked, how do you tell the difference?
53:17But it’s true, your intuition is so immediate—you feel it.
53:20-So fast -He can't think things through.
53:25The unconscious is super fast.
53:27And it gives you a feeling.
53:29And because it speaks to you through your body—because it
53:32speaks to you through your body, through sensations of...
53:35What you say is, “I notice something there, I don’t know what it is,
53:39but I don’t...” That’s it. Listen to that.
53:42I listen to my body more and more. The sensations.
53:45People where suddenly your first impression is, no, but then you reason it
53:49out, especially at work.
53:51For example, people who’ve worked with me.
53:53You interview someone and then you think, “Mmm, no.” Then you talk to the person.
53:58But I need someone because this has to get done and all that, and they seem nice,
54:03or good at their job. And then they’re not.
54:05And you say, “See, I knew it.
54:07See, my body was telling me.”
54:09Wow! Is it energetic?
54:10Does something happen energetically?
54:12You think it's beyond the mind?
54:14Yeah, I think when it comes to the mind, we can explain...
54:18I’ve studied pure science, but, I mean, we can explain only a tiny,
54:23tiny part of reality. I mean,
54:25we’d be absurdly inconsistent to think we can explain reality when
54:29we can’t perceive any of it.
54:31How can we explain it if we can’t even perceive it?
54:35Totally, I mean, it's just that we know much, much less...
54:38We know very little, really, very little.
54:42The power that not only our mind has, but our consciousness in general, as well.
54:47No, no, no, not at all.
54:48The brain is constantly translating the electromagnetic signals around
54:52us and creating a reality.
54:54You create one, I create another.
54:56We know very, very little.
54:57That’s why we have to be super humble.
55:00Just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
55:04We can’t hear the frequencies dogs can hear, either, and they exist.
55:08Until we had technology that could measure those frequencies,
55:11we thought sound was just what we could hear.
55:14Those frequencies didn’t exist.
55:16So that’s just one tiny example of all the things we now say,
55:19“It doesn’t exist,” when it’s not that it doesn’t exist.
55:23It’s that we can’t see it or measure it.
55:26It's not that it's not real.
55:28All right, the last one: the well-made mental reprogramming audios.
55:33What kind of rating would you give them?
55:36leven
55:38-Elite level -Over ten. Sure, it has changed my life.
55:41So, tell us, what are mental reprogramming audios, and why are they so powerful?
55:46Okay, I'll tell you from the start.
55:48Go on, go on, go on
55:52I tried it on myself first.
55:53I’m a really pragmatic person.
55:55Like I say, I visualize, and then I go, “Okay, now what do I do?” My mind, my
56:00brain, is a natural problem-solver.
56:02I mean, it’s really quick.
56:03I connect ideas really quickly.
56:05Straight away, it’s solving things.
56:07So, of course, when I was doing my master’s and started learning about
56:11plasticity, how the brain works, brain waves and all that, I thought, “Wow,
56:16if there are times when the brain is more receptive to talking to the unconscious
56:21part, the part that’s running the show,
56:23then I’m going to talk to it at that moment.” So I’d go to bed,
56:27close my eyes and visualize.
56:28I’d fall asleep, and I wouldn’t remember anything.
56:31I mean, I’m like those old dolls that do this: I close my eyes and I’m asleep.
56:36So I thought, “No, I’m not doing this right.” And I looked for a solution.
56:40I started recording my voice over music at four hundred and sixty-five hertz,
56:45four hundred… yeah, around there.
56:47I’d write down what I wanted first.
56:49Then I’d record it over those frequencies and listen to it as I was falling asleep.
56:54I still do it, and I always will.
56:56So when I wanted to reprogram something, when I’ve wanted to reprogram something…
57:01Well, there was one audio, Marian, that I listened to for five months. The same one.
57:06Reprogramming my relationship with money has gone incredibly well for me.
57:10I mean, I had a super-toxic relationship with money. Really toxic.
57:14I’ve gone through periods in my life where…
57:16Well, I was a single parent and had to work an incredible amount,
57:20but scarcity was normal for me. It was just normal.
57:23I’d go to the supermarket with exactly enough money, thinking,
57:27“This costs ten euros, and this one, I don’t know…
57:30So now I’ve got fifteen left.” That’s how bad it was.
57:33Life.
57:34Total survival mode. So, of course, I was saying, “I’m normalizing a reality,
57:39and my brain isn’t letting me normalize it.” When I learned how the brain works,
57:45I thought, “No, no. I’m holding myself back all the time.
57:49I’m normalizing a mental, financial ceiling that I don’t want.” So,
57:53that audio was five months ago.
57:55Right now, I’m living on the Palm in Dubai. I mean, the symbol.
58:00What'd you say?
58:01Yes, it's the quintessential symbol of prosperity, of abundance.
58:05In the palm tree. No, I've gone to live in...
58:08Please give that audio to all of us, please!
58:11On the palm tree. I never let it go.
58:13Sometimes I suddenly go, “Oh!
58:15Revenue’s down a little,” and I play the audio.
58:18I never let it go, no way. The same one, okay? It’s twenty minutes long.
58:22-Same?? -Same. Lasts 20 minutes.
58:24Twenty minutes audio, your voice.
58:26In my own voice. And that's the one I put on—I mean, I used to put it on,
58:31and I still put it on sometimes. And, of course,
58:33the way to listen to that at the moment when the unconscious opens a
58:38door and get those affirmations in,
58:40because in the end it's a...
58:41This particular one is a countdown, so from five to one, that's what it is.
58:46And then we start with affirmations in the audio.
58:49And you start drifting off, drifting off.
58:51I don't remember; I never hear it all the way through, but my brain does.
58:56Very intense!
58:57At the twenty-minute mark, halfway through, you're already falling asleep.
59:02Not halfway. I mean, I've got this Oura thing that measures when you fall asleep,
59:07and it tells me, “Sleep latency: three minutes.” “Sleep latency:
59:11eight minutes.” I always fall asleep listening to a recording.
59:14But it's perfect. That's how it should be.
59:17I have several questions. Well, first, how does your mind—or you yourself,
59:22in your own consciousness—recognize that the audio has worked?
59:25Why do you get up in a different way, or find solutions?
59:29What clues does your mind give you?
59:31Because you start getting ideas to make money.
59:34I start getting ideas, seeing opportunities, connecting with people.
59:38Opportunities come up. I think of an info product, shape it, make it, sell it.
59:43And how long does it take? Days? Nothing?
59:45No, no, those months.
59:47It's been months, because it's also grown as my business has grown.
59:51I mean, this one I'm telling you about, this audio, was two years ago,
59:56two years and something. Two and a bit years.
59:58But it has completely changed my reality. It's just, no, no, no.
1:00:03I mean, I'm telling you.
1:00:04I mean, if someone had told me about the life I have now... Someone says to me...
1:00:10Begoña from how long ago?
1:00:11To myself ten years ago. The reality...
1:00:14Ten years...?
1:00:15Ten years, yeah. I’m not talking thirty years ago.
1:00:17No, even five years ago, you know?
1:00:19If someone had told me five years ago that I’d be living the life I’m living now,
1:00:24I wouldn’t have believed them for a second.
1:00:26I mean, I wouldn’t have believed it. I wouldn’t have... Impossible.
1:00:30I mean, that I’d get up every morning and watch the sun rise over the sea,
1:00:35which I do.
1:00:36Because on top of that, my house is right across from the sheikhs’ palaces,
1:00:40and there’s an island.
1:00:41And they have exotic birds, and the birds fly right past the palm tree where I live.
1:00:46So it’s like an oasis. So it’s like an oasis.
1:00:49It is an oasis.
1:00:50It's amazing. Someone tells me this, and then...
1:00:53I've got a driver who picks me up and takes me wherever I want.
1:00:57No, no, it's amazing.
1:00:58-What is? -No, sure, amazing, Marian.
1:01:01Let's see, let's see, Begoña. So, this audio.
1:01:03Step by step, people will say, “Give me the audio. Where is it?”
1:01:09Yes, yes, yes. It's true, it's amazing.
1:01:12Okay, so,
1:01:13this audio—does everyone have to make one that's tailored to their own dream,
1:01:17their own reality? I mean, how do you recommend doing it?
1:01:20Like, what is this audio like, for example? What's it about?
1:01:23This audio is made for me. This audio belongs to me.
1:01:27Right, that's it.
1:01:28Because, of course, when I created this audio,
1:01:31what I wanted was business opportunities.
1:01:34And maybe someone else wants something else.
1:01:37Business opportunities, better monetization. I mean, selling better.
1:01:41Everything that was holding me back.
1:01:44Because for me, for example, selling made me really uncomfortable.
1:01:48And now I understand perfectly that selling is serving.
1:01:52I mean, something I know is going to work well for you,
1:01:55and that I know is going to be good for you, well,
1:01:59I don't feel uncomfortable about it.
1:02:01Quite the opposite, it's serving.
1:02:03So, you can make an affirmation that goes from “I’m not comfortable selling,
1:02:08I hate selling” to “I love selling; selling is a service.”
1:02:11Exactly. I love selling.
1:02:12I love selling, for example.
1:02:14But I'm telling you, the audio in question has a lot of phrases.
1:02:19Isolated phrases.
1:02:20Just random phrases. They're random phrases.
1:02:23It starts with a countdown, then I start with random phrases.
1:02:27I fall asleep listening to it.
1:02:28But that one's really special,
1:02:30because I've recorded other audios and don't like them as much.
1:02:34Don't buy it.
1:02:35In the programs I run, there are people who have the same thing happen to them.
1:02:40I get voice messages. People tell me...
1:02:42At the gym, they use one audio for a whole month.
1:02:45Then we switch to a different one at night.
1:02:47We change the nighttime audio every month.
1:02:50People tell me, “I like the February audio better than the March one.” I say, “Well,
1:02:55use the February one.
1:02:56Listen to it.” “Because your unconscious is talking to you.
1:03:00Your body is telling you, ‘This one, yes.’” It’s like food.
1:03:03You can go into a buffet and some things will sit better with you than others.
1:03:08It’s important, when you notice an audio is doing you good...
1:03:11And how do you notice? You notice because your life starts to change.
1:03:15And above all, you notice...
1:03:17A lot of people tell me this.
1:03:19They say, “Before I notice it,
1:03:20other people notice.” “I don’t know what’s going on with you, but you look better.
1:03:25You seem more cheerful, you’re, I don’t know...”
1:03:29It changes your attitude. Yeah, it changes your attitude. It’s amazing.
1:03:33I started trying this out on myself first, and then, a little over two years ago,
1:03:38when I opened my Instagram account, I started bringing people into WhatsApp
1:03:42groups. I didn’t have a team, and I didn’t know how else to do it—no newsletter or
1:03:47anything. I had no idea...
1:03:48I mean, this is a perfect example of putting it into practice right away.
1:03:52When your passion is awake, you have to make the most of it,
1:03:56because that's what matters most, beyond strategy.
1:03:58It’s passion. It’s incredible. Ideas come to you.
1:04:01You connect with the world of ideas.
1:04:03You connect with the ideas and bring them down to earth,
1:04:07which is the important part.
1:04:08When your mind starts working for you, you think, “What do you mean, I can’t? I can.
1:04:13I can dream.” And where I live now, I visualized that,
1:04:16and I recorded it in an audio file.
1:04:19I recorded it and then forgot about it.
1:04:21I recorded it, listened to it for a few days, and then that audio just stayed
1:04:25there, because I have, imagine, hundreds of audio files.
1:04:29It was just somewhere in there.
1:04:30When I moved to this place where I live now, in January this year,
1:04:34it turned out that after I’d been there for about a month,
1:04:38I started going through audios to upload them to the platforms and so on.
1:04:42And suddenly I saw this one: “Visualization — house.” That was its
1:04:46name. And I thought, “Let’s see.” I pressed play.
1:04:49And it said, “I open my eyes in the morning. The light is orange.
1:04:53The sun comes up over the sea. I hear the birds.”
1:04:56You didn't know Dubai?
1:04:57No, I had no idea. I never would've imagined Dubai.
1:05:00I had prejudice about Dubai. I never would've gone.
1:05:03I used to say, "I'd never go, not even if I were dying." But I went last year,
1:05:07and when I arrived, I said...
1:05:09That's it
1:05:10It's another planet, where people are kind of in the same place I am right now.
1:05:15I mean, where am I right now?
1:05:16“Anything is possible.” I mean, my mindset right now is:
1:05:20“Anything is possible.” When you get there, you think,
1:05:23“These people are just the same.” Someone gets an idea, and they do it.
1:05:27That’s the energy, that’s the energy. People ask me,
1:05:30“But why did you leave?” “I left because I’m at a point in my life
1:05:34where I’m expanding mentally,
1:05:36and I absolutely vibe with that place.
1:05:38I’m where I’m meant to be.” And I felt it the moment I set foot there.
1:05:42I wouldn’t move to downtown either, to some super stressful city place and all
1:05:47that. No, no, I’m...
1:05:48because I’m from Mallorca, I like the sea. I’m by the sea.
1:05:52So I’m in a place where you talk about entrepreneurship all the time, where,
1:05:56well, you’re here, so you already know. Here too.
1:05:59It's also a big hub for entrepreneurs.
1:06:02Exactly. When you surround yourself with people who are...
1:06:05you walk out the door with two ideas and come back with twenty.
1:06:09In other places, you go out with two and come back with none.
1:06:13I mean, they’ve taken away your drive.
1:06:15But there, it’s like that all the time.
1:06:17It's expansion. And, of course, when I saw how things worked there, I said,
1:06:22“I’m moving there.” I took my dog, two suitcases,
1:06:25and went to Dubai alone in January.
1:06:29This year. That's crazy!
1:06:30I got there.
1:06:31When you said, “I’m coming from Dubai,” I said, “Come on, two years ago,
1:06:35no way.” No, no, we never discussed it.
1:06:37I never would have dreamed it.
1:06:39But when I heard that audio, which I’d heard about two years earlier...
1:06:44I heard it when I’d been in Dubai for a month or so,
1:06:48and I started crying with emotion.
1:06:50I said, “I can’t believe it.” I said, “I planted this in my mind.” My brain,
1:06:55my unconscious, already knew where I was going to live. It knew.
1:06:59Because I’d already told it where I wanted to live.
1:07:03So when I saw other apartments, I didn’t like them.
1:07:06And they were spectacular.
1:07:08Because that’s when I said, “No, I work at home a lot,
1:07:12and I want to live somewhere nice.
1:07:14That’s the condition I want.” I saw extraordinary apartments,
1:07:18but something wasn’t right.
1:07:20I didn’t know it, but what my brain was looking for...
1:07:24How crazy! It was that scene, it was that feeling.
1:07:27It was that scene.
1:07:28When I walked into my apartment, where I live now, I said, “This is it.” I mean,
1:07:33I had that... I didn’t know, but I knew that was it. It’s amazing.
1:07:38Your unconscious takes you there.
1:07:41Imagine, I mean, I know a lot of people are going to relate to that too.
1:07:45For example, as I'm listening to you, I'm thinking,
1:07:48“I'm really good at visualizing,” but it's like that energy is just sitting there.
1:07:53Imagine if you recognize a particular ability in yourself,
1:07:57like visualizing or writing, for example.
1:07:59Some people have a natural gift for writing, writing and writing.
1:08:03I don't, but I do visualize a lot.
1:08:05If you channeled that well, with tools like these, for example...
1:08:09There’s no limit, no limit, Marian.
1:08:11And one thing I’d love people to understand is that they’re living
1:08:15way below their potential,
1:08:16way below their potential, because of what we’ve been told.
1:08:20All our lives, we’ve been told, “No,
1:08:22this is who you are.” And there are so many beliefs that as you get older,
1:08:26you can’t do certain things anymore.
1:08:29I’m sorry, but we’ve been limited so much.
1:08:31But once you realize you can do incredible things…
1:08:34And, hey, not by destroying yourself. I want to say that too.
1:08:38You have to understand that, of course, in my case,
1:08:41I used to work as a driving instructor, and now I’m a psychologist in Dubai.
1:08:45Obviously, there’s been a process; it didn’t happen overnight.
1:08:49There were moments along the way, but I was in love with my future self.
1:08:53And now there’s another future version of me who keeps pulling me forward.
1:08:57And I’ve got her right here. And I’m going there. I’m going to become her.
1:09:02Begoña, what’s special about using your own voice?
1:09:05I mean, does it work just as well if I listen to Begoña in a recording,
1:09:09or if I make the recording myself?
1:09:11I mean, what are you telling your brain?
1:09:13Which one is more powerful?
1:09:15It depends. It depends, and I'll tell you.
1:09:18If the audio is perfect, impeccable—in the text, the vocal cadence,
1:09:22the frequency of the music, and so on—your own voice will always be better. Why?
1:09:27Because your brain recognizes it as its own. Always.
1:09:30But, of course, if you record an audio and the music isn't right,
1:09:34and then you say in the text, “I don't want to suffer,” I mean,
1:09:38your brain is going to hear “suffer.”
1:09:40I mean, the worst phrase you could use is, “No, I don’t want this.”
1:09:44No, it misses 'not'.
1:09:46Ah, that's very good
1:09:47It doesn't understand negation.
1:09:49You always have to do it in the present tense. Always. And in first person.
1:09:53Always. So, if it's done well, well, well, your voice is always better.
1:09:57Great.
1:09:59If it's not done, mine's better.
1:10:01Mine or someone else's, same thing.
1:10:03Whoever did this well
1:10:04Exactly, done right. Always.
1:10:06And I had something lovely to say: the female voice works much better.
1:10:10What do you mean?
1:10:11The mother. The brain recognizes it as the voice of a mother.
1:10:15It gives us a greater sense of peace, that much is clear.
1:10:19For millions of years, women have breastfed us. That much is clear.
1:10:24We've been raised by women for millions of years. So, yes.
1:10:28It has more depth to it, and it works better indeed.
1:10:32And the tone, how you go with it, another thing, right?
1:10:35Totally. It works better. A female voice.
1:10:38And it works better when they’re not perfect.
1:10:41Here’s something really lovely too: it can tell if the voice has been processed.
1:10:45For example, I tried to make it higher quality. Of course, when I,
1:10:50when I started using the recordings and putting them into
1:10:53the Mind Gym programs and so on,
1:10:55I said, “No, no, it has to be perfect.” So, you know, get a studio, clean up my
1:11:00S’s, whatever.
1:11:01No, the brain can tell that it’s not natural.
1:11:05Your conscious mind, right?
1:11:07You hear it and say, “Perfect,
1:11:09that turned out great.” But then your unconscious mind says, “This isn’t a
1:11:13voice. This isn’t.” And, you know, I was thinking, “Well, now with ElevenLabs AI,
1:11:18I can generate more audio.” But no, I have to do it by hand.
1:11:22I mean, I have to sit down and write the script first, then put on the music,
1:11:26find the moments, figure out how to do the voice. I mean, totally handmade.
1:11:31You know, and this—of course, I'm thinking now,
1:11:34there's so much content on YouTube made with artificial intelligence, right?
1:11:38Music, mantra stuff, whatever. So that doesn't work.
1:11:41It doesn't work. No, it's relaxing, fine, but it doesn't work.
1:11:44-That's so crazy! -What AI makes doesn't work yet.
1:11:48That's intense, that's intense!
1:11:50Our brain hasn't adapted yet.
1:11:51No, not yet.
1:11:54Begoña, okay, so let's get down to it.
1:11:56How do we connect with our future self, then?
1:11:59What are we leaving out if we all already want to connect with that
1:12:03new version of ourselves?
1:12:05You said, “Well, write down affirmations stating what you don't want.
1:12:09Turn them into what you do want,” okay? I write them down.
1:12:12And now, yes, with all of that written down, I go into an audio recording,
1:12:17record this audio myself, and start really getting into that emotion.
1:12:21That feeling.
1:12:22It’s important to have a picture of your future self. It’s important.
1:12:27To have a picture. What are they like? Are they in shape? What time do they get up?
1:12:31What do they do for work? What do they like? Who are they with?
1:12:35It’s important to create...
1:12:37It doesn’t have to be super well-defined,
1:12:39but you do need to give it some coordinates.
1:12:42Sometimes visualization doesn’t work because one day you visualize A,
1:12:46and the next day you’re visualizing B.
1:12:48So then, obviously, your unconscious mind is all over the place.
1:12:52That's why you want consistency in that same mental image of what you're
1:12:55imagining.
1:12:57That's why you have to spend months with the same audio.
1:13:00That's why months with the same visualization, the same vision.
1:13:04Months, because it takes your brain months to connect neurons.
1:13:07I mean, the famous twenty-one days is when it starts connecting,
1:13:11but to create truly unconscious, automatic patterns, which are deep-seated beliefs,
1:13:16that takes months. And you have to be consistent and congruent.
1:13:20I'm very clear about the version of myself I want to reach. No, I'm headed there.
1:13:24I have no doubt. So, that's it.
1:13:26That too, huh?
1:13:28What you just said: having confidence that you're going to achieve it.
1:13:31No, no. I’m crystal clear about it, crystal clear.
1:13:35And here I sometimes use a metaphor I really like, the movie theater one.
1:13:39Imagine you get to the movies, Marian, and you sit down and say, “Oh!
1:13:43The movie’s already started!
1:13:45I’m a little late.” And you sit there, and five minutes later, it’s the end.
1:13:49I go, “Whoa! This isn’t the right theater; it was the other one over there.
1:13:53I paid for my ticket. Well, since I’ve paid for my ticket and my popcorn,
1:13:58I’ll stay until the end of the movie.” I mean, sorry,
1:14:01“I’ll watch the whole movie.” The movie starts again, and you start watching.
1:14:05And everyone starts getting super nervous because it’s an action movie,
1:14:10and someone gets kidnapped, and someone else, you know, gets taken hostage.
1:14:14And the child, and everyone there is suffering, but you know it ends well.
1:14:18You’re completely calm in your seat, thinking, “It ends well.
1:14:22This is going to end well.” That’s faith.
1:14:24Faith is the certainty that your movie ends well, ends the way you want it to.
1:14:29Though things happen..
1:14:31They'll pass. I mean, they will pass.
1:14:33Because it hasn't exempted you from facing challenges in your day-to-day life.
1:14:39Challenges.
1:14:40So many things are just part of being human: betrayals, hard knocks, bad days.
1:14:45That’s just inevitable.
1:14:46The point is to hold on to that image and think, “Things are really bad today,
1:14:51but this will pass. And I’ll keep going.”
1:14:54But I'm here, I'll be here.
1:14:56I mean, I have no doubt about it. My version exists. I know how my movie ends.
1:15:01And it doesn't matter what it looks like right now.
1:15:04It's like in a movie when suddenly they kidnap him,
1:15:07and he's hanging there over a cliff.
1:15:09You go, “Ah!” People are like...
1:15:11And you've seen him alive at the end of the movie.
1:15:14You know he's not going to fall.
1:15:16Right, that's the power of connecting with that future self,
1:15:19because you already know how it ends.
1:15:21You know where you're going to end up.
1:15:23You know it. That's the definition of faith for me.
1:15:27Faith is having the absolute certainty that that's how it's going to be.
1:15:31It's really incredibly beautiful indeed.
1:15:34I love it.
1:15:35Well, let's see, Begoña, I know you've brought us a little surprise for us today.
1:15:40Yes, it relates to everything we've talked about.
1:15:43Oh, I love this! We've been discovering these new topics.
1:15:46We said before the podcast, “Something's going to come out of this.”
1:15:50We've been going with the flow, and just look, it really does make a lot of sense,
1:15:55what I've brought to you,
1:15:57what I've brought to the people who are watching us at home, for right now.
1:16:02Perfect. Great, I love it.
1:16:03So then, Begoña, you've brought us an audio recording, right?
1:16:07Well, a meditation, or what can we call it, then?
1:16:10Yes, it's a meditation. It's a meditation for you to do now, during the program.
1:16:15Okay?
1:16:16Great, this fascinates me.
1:16:18And then, well, I'd also love to give you a nighttime mental reprogramming audio,
1:16:22which, well...
1:16:24I really love this. Begoña, with all her generosity,
1:16:28is going to give us an audio for mental reprogramming at night.
1:16:31Is it for anything in particular?
1:16:34It's general. For whatever it is that we want to manifest.
1:16:37It's for sleeping deeply. It's general.
1:16:40It's not for anything specific, because the intention is for it to be for
1:16:44everyone.
1:16:45Great. If you want to receive it, you know, join our WhatsApp channel,
1:16:49because that's where we'll share the link so that, well,
1:16:53we can all make the most of these audios that...
1:16:56We've already understood the power this has.
1:16:58So join our WhatsApp channel.
1:17:00We'll leave it down below, and we'll share it there.
1:17:03So, anyway, we're also going to do the exercise here live.
1:17:07Yeah, yeah. Exercise has a lot to do with it.
1:17:10Then, if you want to add some relaxing music in production to make it more...
1:17:14I don't know if that could be done in this part.
1:17:17Let's go ask the team. Yes, yes, it can be done.
1:17:20It's easier for you to get connected. See? The glasses.
1:17:24Otherwise, I just can't get anything right.
1:17:27Okay, you'll do it if you want, Marian, you.
1:17:30I'll do it, come on. And everyone who can.
1:17:32If you're driving, obviously don't do it right now, but if you're at home,
1:17:36get ready, make yourselves nice and comfortable on the sofa,
1:17:40or in the chair wherever you happen to be, and let's listen to it.
1:17:44Go ahead. Close your eyes, Marian, and breathe slowly.
1:17:47Breathe in, and then let the air out slowly.
1:17:50Take your time as you breathe out.
1:17:53One more time, breathe in. And as you breathe out,
1:17:56allow your body to begin letting go of everything you don’t need right now.
1:18:01Let go of what you can leave behind for this moment,
1:18:04and give yourself permission simply to be here.
1:18:08Imagine that you’re walking along a path.
1:18:10On both sides of you, there are very tall trees.
1:18:14They rise beside the path as you make your way forward.
1:18:17The light filters gently through their branches,
1:18:21coming through softly rather than all at once.
1:18:24You can feel the cool air brushing against your face.
1:18:27Notice that feeling as you continue along the path.
1:18:31The light is passing softly through the branches as you walk beneath them.
1:18:36The fresh air brushes your face.
1:18:38Listen to the sound of your own steps on the earth,
1:18:41and feel how you place each foot down.
1:18:44There is no rush, and you don’t have to reach any place quickly.
1:18:48For now, simply keep walking along the path, one step at a time.
1:18:53Listen to the sound of your own footsteps on the earth.
1:18:56Hear each step as it meets the ground beneath you.
1:19:00Feel how you place one foot down, and then the other.
1:19:03Feel each foot as it touches the earth. There’s no rush.
1:19:07You don’t have to get anywhere quickly, and you don’t have to hurry toward
1:19:12anything. For now, there is nowhere else you need to be.
1:19:16Just walk, one step at a time.
1:19:18As you move forward along the path, notice your mind beginning to calm down.
1:19:23Little by little, the noise is falling behind you.
1:19:26You don’t have to follow it or carry it with you.
1:19:30Let it remain behind as you keep walking.
1:19:32With each step, you feel yourself moving a little farther along the path,
1:19:37and each step brings you a little closer to yourself.
1:19:41At the end of the path, a small cabin comes into view.
1:19:45It’s made of wood, and it looks old.
1:19:47You notice it there in the distance.
1:19:49Without knowing why, you feel that you can go closer.
1:19:53You don’t have to work out why you feel drawn to it.
1:19:56Simply allow yourself to approach.
1:19:59You walk toward the cabin until you reach its door.
1:20:02You place your hand on the door, and you open it.
1:20:06As you step inside, you notice the smell of the wood, the scent of the firewood,
1:20:11and the warmth of a lit fireplace.
1:20:13The fire is burning slowly.
1:20:15Take a moment to notice the fire as it burns in front of you.
1:20:19There, in front of it, sits a very old person.
1:20:22They could be ninety years old, maybe a hundred.
1:20:26They’re sitting quietly, gazing into the flames.
1:20:29They don’t seem to be in a hurry.
1:20:31They remain there in silence, looking at the fire.
1:20:34When they notice you, they slowly turn their head.
1:20:38They look at you, and they smile. They don’t say anything.
1:20:42They simply make a gesture with one hand,
1:20:44inviting you to sit in a chair beside them.
1:20:47You understand the invitation.
1:20:49You walk over to the chair, come closer, and sit down beside them.
1:20:54For a few moments, you sit together in silence, looking at the fire.
1:20:58There’s no need to say anything yet.
1:21:01You can simply sit there beside this person and watch the flames.
1:21:05You feel comforted by their presence.
1:21:08There’s something about them that gives you a sense of peace and safety.
1:21:13There is a kind of wisdom in them,
1:21:15a wisdom that doesn’t need to be explained or put into words.
1:21:19Let yourself be with that quiet presence for a few moments.
1:21:23And suddenly, a question comes up inside you.
1:21:26You don’t have to search for it, and you don’t have to think about it too much.
1:21:31You don’t need to decide in advance what the question should be. Let it come.
1:21:37Allow a question to arise within you, in its own time.
1:21:40Ask this person something that matters to you, something you need to understand.
1:21:46It might be about a decision, a fear, a doubt,
1:21:49or maybe a direction you need to find.
1:21:51Whatever it is, let yourself ask.
1:21:53Ask them that question now, and then be quiet.
1:21:57Give yourself a moment to listen. Listen to their answer. It might come as words.
1:22:02It might come as an image, a feeling, or simply a sense of certainty.
1:22:07It may not arrive in the way you expect.
1:22:09Don’t force it, and don’t try to make an answer appear. Receive whatever comes.
1:22:15Let the response be what it is, whether it comes as words, as an image,
1:22:20as a feeling, or as a quiet certainty inside you.
1:22:23Stay with it for a few moments.
1:22:25After a few moments, you get up from the chair and slowly walk toward this person.
1:22:30Take each step slowly.
1:22:32With every step, you feel something strange, something deeply familiar.
1:22:37You come a little closer. You look at their hands, their face, and their eyes.
1:22:42You take in the person sitting there in front of you. And then you understand.
1:22:47This person is you. You at ninety, maybe a hundred.
1:22:51This is the version of you who has traveled the whole way.
1:22:55The one who knows the decisions you made.
1:22:57The one who knows the times you were afraid and kept going,
1:23:01even when you felt afraid.
1:23:03The one who knows the times you chose to listen to yourself.
1:23:07The one who knows the lives you left behind so you could become who you truly
1:23:12are. You look into each other’s eyes, and you feel emotional.
1:23:16Let yourself feel what comes as you meet this version of yourself.
1:23:21Your wiser self smiles because they know who you can become.
1:23:25But above all, they smile because they know who you’re beginning to be today.
1:23:30They see not only who you may become, but who you are starting to become now.
1:23:35Move a little closer and ask them,
1:23:38“What do you need me to do now?” Ask the question, and then listen.
1:23:42Give yourself time to hear the answer.
1:23:45Listen to what this version of you has to say, and hold on to their answer.
1:23:50You don’t need to force it or change it.
1:23:53Just listen, and keep whatever comes to you.
1:23:56Before you say goodbye to this version of yourself,
1:23:59they take your hands and remind you, “I’m not at the end of the path.
1:24:04I’m inside you,
1:24:05guiding every decision that brings you closer to me.” Take in those words.
1:24:10This future version of you is not somewhere outside you,
1:24:13waiting at the end of the path. They are inside you,
1:24:17drawing you forward through each decision that brings you closer.
1:24:21Take a deep breath. Hold on to that gaze, that answer, and that feeling.
1:24:26Keep the memory of looking into the eyes of your wiser self.
1:24:30Keep the answer you received, and the feeling of being there with them.
1:24:35Then, slowly, make your way back toward the cabin door.
1:24:39Walk back at your own pace.
1:24:41You reach the door, and you step outside. You return to the path.
1:24:45You’re back among the very tall trees,
1:24:47with the light filtering gently through their branches and the cool
1:24:52air brushing against your face. You begin walking again.
1:24:56Listen to your footsteps on the earth as you move along the path,
1:25:00one step at a time. You know that you’re not coming back the same.
1:25:05Something has changed in how you understand your own wisdom.
1:25:09Now you know that your wisdom isn’t outside of you.
1:25:12Your future self isn’t a stranger.
1:25:14This person you met is you, the version of you who has traveled the whole way.
1:25:20It’s you, reminding yourself of the way.
1:25:22Remember that you can carry with you the gaze, the answer,
1:25:26and the feeling you found there.
1:25:28Your future self is inside you, guiding the decisions that bring you closer.
1:25:34Take one more breath. And when you’re ready, slowly open your eyes.
1:25:38Did you meet your future self?
1:25:40Yeah, and I never would've ever imagined that it was me. I'm like, “Wow! It's you!”
1:25:46It's your inner voice, your inner wisdom, pulling you,
1:25:49the one who knows all about you, the one that already is.
1:25:53And above all, she talks to you with so much love.
1:25:56Your intuition. Your wise inner self.
1:25:59It's an image, it's a symbol.
1:26:01It's a symbol that your unconscious mind recognizes.
1:26:05Ah, it's not my version of my future self, it's more like my...
1:26:09It is your wise self. It is your own version. It is you.
1:26:13It is that moment when... In the audio, right? What question do I have?
1:26:18I mean, when I have a question, there is someone there, that presence,
1:26:22that future version of you, that inner wise self who has all the answers.
1:26:27That is intuition. It is about making a connection with your intuition.
1:26:32And that person is also really centered, really calm, really...
1:26:36Yeah, it's like they've already been through it all.
1:26:39And I also find it really interesting, because they kind of made me understand
1:26:43that, like, you already know, you already know, but I'm going to remind you.
1:26:48Yeah, you already know. You already have it all clear.
1:26:51And I’m drawing it out of you.
1:26:53I’m drawing it out of you.
1:26:55It’s your inner sage—the wise one, right?
1:26:58It’s a metaphor that I hope will help you.
1:27:01It just sounds better with music.
1:27:03We'll put that in, okay?
1:27:05It sounds much better with music.
1:27:07But you're lovely
1:27:09It's so relaxing, so pretty. Pretty, relaxing music.
1:27:12That's enough, and I hope that all the people listening at home enjoy it very
1:27:17much.
1:27:18Those of you who've tried this exercise, let us know in the comments what you felt,
1:27:23what sensations you experienced.
1:27:25What has your inner wisdom told you? What did it say?
1:27:28It'd be lovely to read them.
1:27:30And maybe those of you who already commented on the first exercise, right?
1:27:34We said when we started this interview that you should write down what you
1:27:38still need to wrap up this year,
1:27:40in what area—love, money, health, and so on.
1:27:43Maybe you’ve connected with your inner sage so it can give you an answer.
1:27:47-Hope so. -Send it over
1:27:49Hope so.
1:27:49Have them share it with us. Great. Great.
1:27:52Well, Begoña, I've really enjoyed this interview so much. I mean it.
1:27:56It's always fascinating having you on.
1:27:58You're like this wonderful encyclopedia of tools.
1:28:01I really do see you that way, right?
1:28:04But I'm a very practical person, I'm a very practical person.
1:28:08It's like: “Do this, do this.”
1:28:10I can throw something your way, and you’re like, “Okay,
1:28:13let’s do this.” You’re so straight to the point. I love that.
1:28:16Your practicality, and the love you share it with, are wonderful.
1:28:20Thank you so much for being here and for the gift you’ve given us.
1:28:24I hope everyone listening will do the exercise too, because it’s important.
1:28:28Don’t let this be just a conversation; put it into practice every day.
1:28:32That’s where real transformation happens, not just in the motivation this creates.
1:28:37So, Begoña, for anyone who wants to learn more about you, where can they find you?
1:28:41Well, so, on my website, at Bego Mental Reset, and in my books.
1:28:46The book Neurocambios, which is going to be coming out very soon.
1:28:50-Oh, how great! -End of October
1:28:53Is it your second one?
1:28:54It's my second one.
1:28:55The first was with Anaya, and now the second one is with Planeta: Neurocambios.
1:29:00And that's that.
1:29:01On my website, that's where I have all the information about everything—talks,
1:29:06training programs, the mind gym. That's where we train.
1:29:09Dozens of us are training together, and I'm there with them twice a month.
1:29:13So it's a way to keep the motivation up as we go through
1:29:17this process that takes months,
1:29:19because you have to understand it's like learning a language.
1:29:22To have a deep, real transformation, you need months of support.
1:29:26But it's so worth it, Marian,
1:29:28so very worth it when you realize you can let go of identities that
1:29:32no longer represent you, and that you can achieve pretty much everything you want.
1:29:37And that's true, you have what it takes to achieve all you want to achieve.
1:29:41So thank you so much, Begoña, for being here.
1:29:44Thank you
1:29:45And if you've stayed with me until the end,
1:29:47you know I'd love to hear from you in the comments.
1:29:50What's been your biggest takeaway?
1:29:52Where has this practice taken you?
1:29:54And with that, I'll say goodbye.
1:29:56Remember, whatever you do, always go big.
1:29:59See you in another interview. Bye!
