Who says we can't teach an old dog new tricks?
I have been listening to some Ted Talks on the incredible potential for our brains to grow and change.
One scientist tells us about the newly discovered "baby neurons" that grow in our brains all the time. Significantly, they don’t have all the connections to our old hurts and grudges. We can introduce them to positive loving thoughts and memories, and they will form a network of connections with like-minded neurons!
This activity will weave a new group of interrelated connections, and generate exciting new energy and focus for us. The old sad, mad parts embedded in our brains can atrophy from lack of attention. This is a tremendous healing power of neuroplasticity.
How great is that?
