Would you like to create lasting change?

Neuroscience tells us, the way we view our brain’s ability to adapt has changed. What was once thought to be hardwired, is no longer the case. Our brain has the ability to re-organise itself by forging new neural pathways. This has been defined as neuroplasticity. Plasticity allows us to change the brain’s structure and function. 

Neurorigidity

Using the brain’s pre-wired synaptic connections (memories). Neuro-ridgidity is using the brain’s same hardware and software, by unconsciously processing the same thoughts and performing the same actions, living from past memories. Keeping the brain firing in the same patterns, sequences and combinations.
 

Neuroplasticity

Our brain’s ability to re-organise itself by forming new neural connections throughout our lives. Plasticity allows us to change the brain’s structure and function by learning new things, creating new experiences and memories. This process makes the brain fire in new patterns, sequences and combinations. How neuro-plastic our brain is, depends on our ability to change our perception of the world around us.
 

Training your brain to let go of old habits

When you understand how neural pathways are created in the brain, it will give meaning to the process of choosing and letting go of particular thoughts and emotions throughout your day. i.e. you may seek out comfort food when you feel stressed, if you do this over and over again this forms a neural pathway in the brain.
 

“Neural pathways are like superhighways of nerve cells that transmit messages. You travel over the superhighway many times, and the pathway becomes hardwired.”
The Mind Unleashed

Due to the brain’s ever-changing capacity to evolve, the conscious choices we make, can forge new synaptic connections, and prune away old ones. This is the marvel of neuroplasticity!

“Because of neuroplasticity and the brain’s ever-changing potentials, anything is possible. People who have had strokes, can retrain their brains to function again by building new pathways. Smokers, overeaters and many others can learn new behaviors and attitudes that can transform their lives.”
