Episode notes
Brains Rewire Constantly By Default
- Your brain rewires itself constantly to reduce metabolic load by automating repeated actions.
- The key question is whether that rewiring happens by default or by your intentional direction.
Consent To Automate Explains Habits
- Repetition builds automaticity: neurons that fire together wire together (Hebb's law).
- Consent to automate is the mind's permission that lets the brain convert repeated responses into habits.
Mind As The Brain's Trainer
- The mind functions as the trainer and the brain as the trainee; attention from the mind directs neuronal firing.
- Mental intention steers neuroplastic changes, so consciousness guides brain rewiring.
