Most people are wired to avoid losses over acquiring gains, for example, most people would prefer not to lose $50 than to find $50. Reframing your current approach to situations and developing the brain functions which you currently underutilize can help maximize the brain’s performance across diverse and unfamiliar tasks. Imagine how difficult it is to learn a new language or take up a new instrument – this is how hard your brain needs to work to stimulate growth and forge new neural pathways. For the brain to rewire itself it requires sustained practice of a new behavior which will sufficiently challenge the brain to think in a new way. Unfortunately, keeping your brain plastic and flexible isn’t as easy as simply doing a daily sudoku or crossword. Encouraging the brain’s neuroplasticity is the key to sustained adult learning and emotional intelligence, which will help the brain remain open-minded, intuitive and able to overcome biases throughout adulthood. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change itself constantly by creating new neural pathways and losing those which are no longer used.
