Thank you for the kind comments. I discovered I've been practicing neuroplasticity without knowing it. Learning new things, adapting to new physical challenges and talking to others and myself in new ways, rewire the brain. When we stagnate physically and mentally we stagnate emotionally. Intentionally rewiring neurons, synapses and connections by exercising them, we expand the use of our brain. I use my right hand to practice Iaido when I am left handed. This is a form of exercising neuroplasticity. My mind has to think differently. I once suffered from depression and anxiety. That statement is a form of neuroplasticity also. As I used to say I suffer, I now say it in a past tense. This rewired my thoughts and brings a positive reinforcement as opposed to a negative reinforcement of stating I still suffer. How we talk to ourselves is extremely important. Taking a different route to the store, trying a different flavor, even doing everyday chores in a different order can exercise your mind. Very simple things can lead to dramatic changes. Be kind when you talk to yourself. Because you are listening.
