Stay calm. Remain open-minded. Brain change works best when you’re in the mood for it. When you’re calm, your neuroplastic switches are “on.”

Be Focused. If you are alert, engaged and motivated, the brain releases the neurochemicals necessary to enable brain change. The more focused, the deeper the change.

Be wise. Brain plasticity can reinforce both positive and negative changes. Negativity can impair memory. A positive attitude will build your mental muscle.
