Neuroplasticity is the best thing you can strive for. I'm going to teach you how to boost neuroplasticity in ways you've never heard before because I'm using theory-based unconventional methods that will probably work out for you. Change your identity language and not your behaviour. The way you talk to yourself is driving your habits a lot and driving your identity which holds your habits. Identity in Greek is repeated being. So when it comes to who you are, it's just who you are repeatedly out of habit. We are habitual creatures. Your brain experiences your perception of reality, not reality. So what you need to change is how you speak to yourself, how you perceive yourself in the world around you. So if I say I am socially confident, then what's going to happen is that I will start to change the way I see reality and scan for evidence that matches that belief. And if I think the opposite, then I'm also going to scan for evidence that matches that belief. Secondly, train under mild intensity of emotions. When you actually start feeling pretty bad and you can do the work anyway, you are actually reinforcing that habit. So yes by neuroscience when you do things when you don feel like doing them it reinforces the habit much harder and makes your identity stronger Because neuromodulators like norepinephrine get released when you have these mildly intense emotions and you still training under them what this does is it highlights the brain and goes here i need you to start rewiring this part i need you to strengthen the circuitry it's using hebbian's law neurons that fire together wire together when you do that action and then you combine it with loads of norepinephrine from that emotion boom you have increased neuroplasticity, increased habit formation. Third, deliberately shift your environment. Your brain and your nervous system is extremely associative, meaning if you're in the same state, in the same place, at the same time, with the same smells and the same people, you're probably going to do the same behavior. So you need to change the context to change your behavior. You need to change your state to change your actions. You need to start rewiring your brain through your environment. This is why our friends have such a profound effect on our brains and what we do and our beliefs because it just causes us to be like them just because they're around us and we watch and we observe because when we watch and observe something our mirror neurons start firing as if we are doing that and it can start to mimic that behavior so real plasticity starts to occur when novelty is there when emotions are there when repetition is there and identity is there
