Page 26 - Course 4 Skills & Strengths Part 3 Brain Building

What does this unit teach us?

WE CAN BUILD OUR BRAINS AND GET BETTER AT THINGS – AT ANY AGE!

1.Brains can build and neural circuitry be re-shaped at any age.

2.If you practise and repeat something, it will become easier to do.

3.This is true whether it is a helpful or an unhelpful habit.

4.This means that unhelpful habits can become very strong too. It can take a clear plan

and lots of practice to shift from an unhelpful habit.

5.A chat won’t build helpful habits any more than a chat helps us to become proficient at

playing the violin.

6.It also means that it IS possible to change even strong unhelpful habits into more helpful

ones – but it will take time.
