4 Ways To Shape A Brighter Future
With Brain Plasticity

Brain plasticity is a term that describes the incredible
adaptability of YOUR human brain. Far from being the
stuck-in-cement beings that we often feel ourselves to be, we
can change our minds for the better. The brain is responsive.
The brain is listening and ready to correspond with your
dominant wishes. You can make changes and overcome habits of a
lifetime.
Here are 4 ways to use the awesome transformation potential
of brain plasticity to create the life of your
dreams.
1. Get Smart
Your brain loves to learn. To your brain, learning is like a
big ice cream on a hot day -- it just laps it up. You can
transform the condition of your brain by learning something new
everyday. The structures of your brain are changed forever by
additional knowledge. Why is the brain plastic? It's plastic so
it can absorb new information and adapt accordingly, becoming a
more efficient 'organ of service' for you.
2. Get Real
Hold up the truth mirror to your life and take a long hard
look. Look at your beliefs and how they affect your actions.
Why do you think and act the same way over and over? Why do you
repeat the same mistakes in relationships? Why do you sabotage
your success every time? These are old, stuck beliefs, thoughts
and ideas that you impressed upon your brain in ages past. Like
a groove in a record or pits in a CD these cause your thoughts
(and then actions) to play the same way over and over. You have
got to scratch the record, and stop the needle from slipping
into the same groove. You have to create a new neural
pathway.
3. Get Busy
Creating new neural pathways takes effort. Your thoughts take
the path of least resistance and fall easily into well-worn
grooves. But your brain plasticity means you can impress new
commands onto your brain. You just need to repeat the
instruction enough times for it to take. Let's say you want to
get up in the morning and greet your family with a cheerful,
happy attitude instead of that crabby, grizzly bear mood that
you are typically in. Tomorrow, and every morning for the next
30 days at least, you need to force yourself to put on a big
smile, put some energy into your voice, and be kind from the
get go. Do it consistently and you will change forever by
creating a new neural pathway. Impress your mind - get busy and
be consistent with your changes!
4. Get
Vigilant
Old habits and negative behaviors have had
long practice. They are like well-worn tracks in the
jungle. It's easier to follow their trails than it is to
hack a new track in a different direction. Be vigilant and
intercept negative thoughts and habits before they are
completed. Replace them with new thoughts and behaviors.
Accept that you are going to feel uncomfortable and
confused while you are changing your habital ways of
thinking and acting. This is normal. It's called cognitive
dissonance. To counter it, we use cognitive therapy. That
basically means think positive. Positive thoughts (even if
'false' to begin with)lead to positive feelings which leads
to positive actions which leads to a glowing life. As you
hack a new trail through the jungle of your mind, it will
become clearer and clearer and the old path will become
overgrown and disused.
Our brains are automatically shaped and developed by the
experiences and environments we grow up in. No wonder that so
many of us fall into habits and beliefs that do not serve us.
How wonderful then to discover that we have evolved or been
created with brain plasticity - the ability to change our lives
whatever our age or circumstances. Knowing this, we can take
conscious control of our lives. We can learn to use our brains
more effectively by reshaping them and restructuring them with
positive choices, thoughts, and actions. And thus we can create
the life of our dreams.
