Lessons Learned
Understanding neuroplasticity
Think of your brain like a dynamic power grid with billions of neural pathways. Those pathways are like roads lining up every time you think, feel or do something. Some of these roads are well travelled. These are our habits. So every time we practise something we strengthen these neural roads. And it becomes easy for our brain to travel them. The more that we do it over and over and over again, it’s that repetition pattern that we need, when embedding a new behaviour.
Neuroscience traps
Not having a clear purpose.
Being too action-orientated which creates a task epidemic.
Making sure we are creating enough social connections.
