Our expectations shape our experience of the world, influencing not just our perceptions but even our physiology. In this episode, I'm talking about the Expectancy Effect. Our brain acts as a prediction machine, constructing our reality based on what we anticipate.

This phenomenon affects everything from social interactions to health outcomes. By understanding how proactively priming our own brain to expect good things, we can actively create a more fulfilling life.

Takeaways:

• Our expectations shape not just our perceptions but also our physiological experiences, creating our reality.
• The expectancy effect shows that our brain acts as a prediction machine, shaping what we see based on past experiences.
• Engaging in positive visualisation can significantly improve recovery outcomes and overall well-being, according to psychological studies.
• Understanding the science behind our expectations can empower us to shift our mindset and improve our life experiences.
