Research of the body and brain has come a long way in the last 15 years. More and more, we are finding that our body adapts to what it determines our needs to be, based on our habits. For example, if you used to study very hard and were able to thread together amazing written works, it is necessary to keep practicing this skill to ensure that the pathways in your brain are not seen as ‘dead space’ and disposed of by the chemical cleaners that are installed. The same goes for muscle tissue and physical skill sets – what once felt easy and natural may be extremely difficult to return to after a long break. The good news? Our brain is capable of re-creating new pathways all throughout our lives to build new skills and habits- sometimes even more efficiently than before. What more reason to continue to learn and build new skills?
