Episode notes
Neuroplasticity's Power
- Neuroplasticity is the nervous system's ability to change adaptively in response to experience.
- It allows us to learn new skills, think new thoughts, and solve problems more effectively.
Adult Neuroplasticity
- Adult neuroplasticity is self-directed and requires focused attention, often accompanied by agitation and frustration.
- This neurochemical milieu signals to neurons that change is needed for learning.
Learning and Rest
- Focus your attention on what you want to learn, even if it causes agitation or frustration.
- Prioritize deep rest, especially sleep, after focused learning for neuroplasticity to occur.
