Unleashing the Power of the Nervous System: Learning, Plasticity, and Growth

🧠Our nervous system is constantly shaping and rewiring itself based on our experiences and environment.

📚Learning is a lifelong process that requires embracing the discomfort and agitation that comes with it.

🎵Different learning styles exist, but all involve the brain's universal algorithms for making predictions and adapting.

👶🏻Children have a natural ability for passive learning, while adults may need to approach learning with conscious effort and focus.

🔄Confusion and overwhelm are signs that the brain is primed for change and rewiring.
