Neuroplasticity: How To Rewire Your Brain
Today we’re talking nerdy about neuroplasticity AKA your brain’s ability to rewire itself. In this solo episode with Alex, we’ll dive into how your brain rewires its neural pathways on both cellular and systems levels and how you can harness and maximize that change to rewire yourself. Not only will Alex break down what neurons, neural pathways, and neurogenesis are, but how you can use a conceptual understanding of this neuroscience to create actionable steps towards change.
Neuroplasticity is your brain’s ability to rewire itself. Your brain is the only organ in the human body capable of doing this- and it’s happening all the time, whether you are conscious of it or not. Your brain is constantly rewiring itself in 3 different ways:
1. Reinforcing a neural pathway that already exists
2. Creating a new one
3. Weakening a neural pathway that already exists through lack of use until eventually the neurons prune apart.
Everything you experience, both externally and internally, creates this change. Externally, the movies you watch, the books you read, the neuroscience podcasts that you listen to, the inspiring conversations that you have are all changing your neural pathways. Internally, every thought that you think, emotion you experience, every time you project your mind into memories of the past, and into anticipatory thoughts of the future, you are also changing and reshaping your neural circuitry.
