Your brain can adapt to anything. As humans, we have shown that ability time and time again. Start seeing your perceived failures as feedback opportunities, your perceived successes as steps forward, and the whole journey as a rebuilding of your mental superhighways - because your brain has a plasticity to it that is remarkable in its adaptation scope.
Brain plasticity, also known as neuroplasticity, is a term that refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt as a result of experience. When people say that the brain possesses plasticity, they are referring to the brain's malleability.
You are what you repeatedly do. You have to be consistent to build new neural-superhighways of positive-outcome behaviors.
How do we build experience, skill, talent, and expertise?
- Proper Practice
- Time Investment
- Trial & Error
This is what gets you better because you get to practice - you need to "fail" in order to develop new strategies.
Hippocampus grows because you are building new memories of the practices, perceived failures, and perceived successes.
The right kind of practice builds the right kind of neuron buildup.
When you feel upset by a situation, ask yourself:
How can I handle this to get a positive outcome?
Is this really that important?
Is this going to matter tomorrow? 3 hours, day, weeks, or months from now?
After the fact:
How could I have handled that differently?
It is not acceptable to lose your sh!t over a situation.
