Brain Change
Adults still have the ability to change and improve our brains by learning new things, developing focus and changing our perspectives. Until recently, it was thought that all development of the brain stopped around 25 years. Scientists have since realized that we are able to change and develop into our adult years.
Andrew Huberman, a researcher from Stanford calls these the 3 Non-Negotiable Rules for Changing Your Brain as an Adult:
Focus: Children can learn passively, as adults, we must spend time focusing.
Urgency: New synapses in your brain respond to how important the new task is, the more important you place it, the more urgent and therefore faster the brain acquires the skill or knowledge.
Short Practice Bouts: Once focus and sense of urgency drop off, no need to push through, according to Huberman, you’re wasting your time.
Try learning something new, it’s good for you brain!
