Neuroplasticity is awesome.
It’s a fancy way of saying that we can rewire our brains.
What’s more impressive, is that we can do it on purpose.
Of course, we need to fight against millennia of evolutionary development and cognitive biases to end up with an improved version, but thankfully a heap of smart people have figured out how to do it.
The underlying premise seems to be this: Do what you want to make permanent. Then do it again. Every day. For about three months if you’re really serious.
That old “practice makes perfect” adage wasn’t quite right, because you can practice something imperfectly. But there’s a nugget of truth: It probably should just be “practices makes.”
