INSIGHT

Neuroplasticity and Focus

  • Neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to change, is highly active during childhood and requires focus in adulthood.
  • Intense focus triggers plasticity, but the actual rewiring happens during sleep or deep rest.
ADVICE

Brain Change Technique

  • To change your brain, concentrate intensely on a behavior or thought, then release that concentration.
  • This process, involving neurochemicals, marks synapses for change during rest.
INSIGHT

Urgency and Plasticity

  • The brain's plasticity is tied to a sense of urgency or strong incentive, whether positive or negative.
  • Focus is key, as plasticity without a goal is like learning many languages at once but not mastering any.
