How To Shape Your Plastic Brain By Forming New Connections To Automatically Get

Our brains are incredible machines. While they may not be composed of plastic, they possess a remarkable quality known as neuroplasticity. This term refers to the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout our lives.

Neuroplasticity has been a subject of fascination for scientists and researchers alike. It offers hope for those seeking personal growth, development, and recovery from brain-related conditions. By understanding how to shape our plastic brain, we can harness its amazing potential to automatically improve various aspects of our lives.

The Science Behind Neuroplasticity

Neuroplasticity involves the brain's ability to adapt and change in response to new experiences, learning, and environmental factors. It was once believed that the brain's structure was fixed after childhood. However, numerous studies have shown that the adult brain remains capable of rewiring and forming new connections.

When we learn something new or engage in mental activities, our brain cells, known as neurons, communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. These connections, known as synapses, strengthen or weaken based on the frequency and intensity of their use. With repeated use, the brain reshapes itself, optimizing its neural networks and forming new connections.

Ways to Shape Your Plastic Brain

Now that we understand the fundamental principles of neuroplasticity, let's explore some practical ways we can shape our plastic brains and tap into their potential:

1. Learning New Skills

One of the most effective ways to form new connections in your brain is by learning new skills. Whether it's playing a musical instrument, mastering a new language, or even engaging in puzzles and brainteasers, these activities stimulate neural growth and help forge new pathways.

By consistently challenging your brain with new tasks, you encourage the formation of fresh connections and promote flexibility within your neural networks. This can enhance your cognitive abilities, memory retention, and problem-solving skills.

2. Physical Exercise

Engaging in regular physical exercise not only benefits your body but also your brain. Exercise improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain, which stimulates neuroplasticity. It has been shown to enhance memory, boost creativity, and improve overall cognitive function.

Consider incorporating aerobic activities, strength training, or even yoga and meditation into your routine. These forms of exercise have been proven to promote neuroplasticity and support the growth of new brain connections.

3. Mindfulness and Meditation

Practicing mindfulness and meditation can have a profound impact on neuroplasticity. These techniques involve focusing your attention on the present moment and cultivating a non-judgmental awareness of your thoughts and sensations.

Studies have shown that regular mindfulness and meditation practice can increase grey matter density in areas associated with learning, memory, and emotional regulation. They can also improve attention span, reduce stress levels, and promote overall mental well-being.

4. Social Engagement

Human beings are inherently social creatures, and social interaction plays a vital role in shaping our plastic brains. Engaging in meaningful conversations, building relationships, and participating in group activities can stimulate neural growth and improve cognitive function.

Make an effort to connect with others, join clubs or organizations that align with your interests, and actively seek social interactions. These experiences help strengthen existing connections while forming new ones, strengthening your brain's plasticity.

The Power of Neuroplasticity Unleashed

By employing these strategies and understanding the power of neuroplasticity, you can potentially unlock untapped capabilities of your brain. Whether you aim to boost mental performance, recover from brain injuries, or overcome limitations, embracing the ability to shape your plastic brain is a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Remember that change takes time and patience. As you form new connections and engage in activities that stimulate neuroplasticity, be kind to yourself and allow your brain to adapt at its own pace.

So, let's embark on this incredible adventure of shaping our plastic brains, enhancing our abilities, and unleashing the full potential of our minds. Together, we can automatically achieve new heights!

Why Is Brain Plasticity So Important?

New research shows that you can reprogram your own brain and obtain goals you never thought possible! You have the ability to, literally, rewire your brain. Your brain is adaptable, and you can change it yourself, and anyone can do it! Psychologists say that approximately 95% of our lives are controlled by our subconscious mind. On average, we have about 65,000 thoughts a day. About 75 - 90% of those thoughts are coming to you from your default mind. On auto-pilot, so to speak, coming from learned behaviors, experiences, and even our circumstances and environment. You are constantly rewiring your brain, all the time, anyway. Why not be deliberate? Why not learn how to use this new research to your advantage? Come along! You’ll be glad you did!

With this book:

• You’ll learn how to use Neuroplasticity for yourself!
• You’ll begin to see the many rewards that come from rewiring and strengthening your neural pathways.
• You’ll discover why people are learning the simple process of neuroplasticity and how they are using it to treat depression, addiction, brain damage, and more.
• You’ll see that everything you need is already at your fingertips – all you have to do is follow the simple steps in this book, and then reap the many benefits!

Why is brain plasticity so important?

Because you have the ability to literally rewire your brain. The brain is designed to adapt. It is designed this way as a survival mechanism. Your brain wants you to be comfortable. It doesn’t want you to experience discomfort. This is why psychologists say that approximately 95% of your life is controlled by your subconscious mind. On average, we have about 65,000 thoughts a day. About 75 - 90% of those thoughts are coming to you from your default mind. They are on automatic pilot so to speak. This is great if you’ve strengthened your neuro pathways and trained your brain to think positively. We need to break away from our preprogrammed way of thinking. Our circumstances, our environment, and the people we spend most of our time with and their beliefs and habits (which they have learned) are shaping and molding our brains. Most of our beliefs are just learned from those we are closest too. You are who you hang out with. You can’t fly with the eagles if you are hanging out with the turkeys. You may have heard those sayings before. Even Proverbs 13:20 tells us those who walk with wise men will become wise, yet a companion of fools will suffer. Your life circumstances and what you believe are not your fault because you’ve been in default mode. You’ve been going through the motions day in and day out based on all that you have learned, observed, and experienced thus far. But, today is a new day! You no longer have to live in default mode.

Order now, and reap the benefits! You'll be glad you did!

What has shaped your beliefs?

This is an important question to ask yourself. Why do you think and believe what you do?

However effective you want to be, however, successful you desire to become; or, however large your dreams are, it all boils down to the sequence of actions and reactions which you consciously and subconsciously control. Every action you initiate reverberates into the future to become the history of tomorrow. The actions that dictate your present are the direct result of your mindset.

This book undertakes to accomplish three tasks in bringing the world of neuroplasticity to the everyday reader and to his or her idea of improving it in a way they see fit. It shows the reader that each person has the ability to alter and adjust the shape and resistance of his or her own mind. This is powerful information because when you alter the shape of the mind, you are essentially changing your destiny.
