If you’ve heard of ‘manifesting’ – the concept of thinking something into existence – and thought of it as little more than vaguely optimistic pseudoscience with no grounding in fact, you might be surprised to learn that our expectations do, in fact, have significant weight in shaping our reality. While this isn’t ‘manifesting’ per se, there is evidence to suggest that we do have the ability to control our futures far more than we might have previously believed.
