I talked about movement and food. The third element of neuroplasticity (brain flexibility) is mindfulness.
Mindfulness can mean a meditation practice. It can also mean simply becoming more present in your life.
Here is your simple challenge: become more mindful.
- Add tiny slivers of mindfulness to your day. Notice the sparkle of the sun on the water, the smell of cut grass, or the taste of your salad.
- Pause for a mental break. Even 30 seconds is enough to influence brain flexibility.
- Meditate. 1 – 5 – 10 minutes. Sit quietly. Use a meditation app. Let go of any pressure that there is a right way to meditate.
