Neuroplasticity. Up to the mid and late 20th century, humans thought IQ and cognitive ability were mostly determined at birth. Then researchers, with new and more tools to use, found that brains form new neural connections throughout life. Which especially matters after bad brain injuries.
But neuroplasticity also is important in the creation of YOUR HABITS. The neuro pathways get stronger-or more prominent-centered around a certain habit, talent or skill you have. It could be a habit associated with you job or career. Or sport that you enjoy.
My point is this: Neuroplasticity makes the statement, ‘I can’t help it that’s just the way I am’ absolutely moot. If you WANT to change you can. You are now aware of the fact that you can change your brain. You have that power.
