“The Brain that Changes Itself” & alternative ways to think about your mind

If you knew there was some way to make your brain more powerful, would you do it?

If you or anyone you know has learning disabilities, memory problems or Alzheimer's disease, it is important to educate yourself about what scientists are learning about the brain.

For for the longest time scientists had this map of the brain. You might have learned a bit about this if you ever took a psychology class or a biology class that went over neurophysiology. They tell you that this part of the brain is responsible for sight, that this other part of the brain is responsible for hearing... the frontal cortex (which isn't fully developed until you're 25ish) is responsible for reasoning and making responsible choices.

But, studies in neuroplasticity have come a long way in the last few years. And, I promise you they are going a lot further soon.

You see, the brain is not this unchanging thing like a map. It can change. Its abilities can improve. It can develop new abilities. It can respond to changes and adapt to new challenges and situations. Neural pathways and dendrites can constantly form, change, strengthen or decline depending on what we do, how we think, how we challenge or don't challenge ourselves.

You have the power to improve your brain function and abilities constantly.

This particular blog is about “The Brain that Changes Itself” which was a book I came across in 2008. But, today I found this short and easy to follow documentary version!!! I'm just so stoked that I can share this with you for free! Life is so cool. If you are interested on how scientists are overcoming learning disabilities and serious memory problems, this documentary will help you get started down that rabbit hole.

So, basically, I'm telling you that you can overcome learning disabilities or memory problems, and if you already have a strong mind, you can make it stronger. The possibilities really are infinite because the brain is not finite. It can evolve during your lifetime. It can evolve during this week if you focus!!!

I also want to mention meditation. I will blog more about it another time, but it really has the potential to shape your mind and your world.

Well, I hope this information successfully travels from my consciousness to yours, and I hope that you utilize it and it has a profound impact on your life and the world around you.

Life is your garden; dig it.
