How to Hack Your Brain for Success with Vicky Ross

In this episode of "Beauty Business Matters," Susan engages in a captivating conversation with personal development expert Vicky Ross, exploring the intricate relationship between our brain's functioning and achieving success. Vicky shares her multifaceted approach to transformation, emphasising the importance of understanding beliefs and paradigms that shape our behaviours. The discussion delves into the science of brainwaves, illustrating how our early experiences influence our adult lives and decision-making processes. Listeners will gain insights into the significance of being specific about their goals, the impact of emotional patterns, and the necessity of self-awareness in breaking free from limiting beliefs.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Paradigms and Beliefs: Paradigms, which are formed from early experiences and observations, significantly influence our behaviour and decision-making.  Brainwave Development Stages: The brain undergoes different developmental stages from birth through adolescence, transitioning from delta waves (suggestibility) to theta (creativity and exploration) and finally to beta waves (conscious thought). T The Importance of Consciousness: A significant portion of the population operates unconsciously, reacting to life rather than proactively shaping it.  Emotional Addictions: People can become addicted to their emotional states, whether positive or negative. This addiction can drive behaviours that reinforce limiting beliefs and paradigms. The Role of Stress and Self-Care: Chronic stress can lead to physical and emotional issues. Taking time for self-care and mindfulness is vital for maintaining well-being and preventing burnout.   BEST MOMENTS  "The precursor to change... you have to know what it is that has happened, how it happened, so that you know how the system works to be able to then go and change the system." - Vicky "I always say, so what do you want, what's your future, what do you want to achieve? and quite happily tell me what they don't want and go back over." - Susan  "If you weren't born with it, it means you've learned it.
