During term 3 so far, we have learnt about Neuroplasticity and being able to train your brain, we have also learnt about Resilience and Grit, finally we learnt about Happiness.
Neuroplasticity is about changing the way you think, such as a growth mindset and fixed mindset. A growth mindset is staying positive about everything, whereas a fixed mindset is when you believe you will never get better and that you will stay the same.
The definition of Neuroplasticity is the ability to form and reorganize synaptic connections, especially in response to learning or experience. This definition shows that your brain is not fixed and can be made stronger. So, neuroplasticity is about making you brain stronger, making you brain stronger is basically giving your brain workouts, because your brain is a muscle, and like all muscles to make them stronger you must use them more. An example is daily-motion who over a period of 6 months made their brain stronger by doing reaction tests, memory tests. Over 6 months their research proved that it is possible to make your brain stronger.
Being able to train your brain is making your brain better at something, such as making yourself more intelligent or having a better memory. Training your brain or brain training is completing a series of activities to make yourself better at a particular thing
Nick Vujicic, once said if you can’t get a miracle, become one
The definition of grit is being resilient, not giving up, courage. An example of a gritty person is Nick Vujicic, he was born without any limbs (no legs, and arms) yet he decided instead of thinking negative, at some point he just decided that he was stuck like this and there was nothing he could do. So, Nick Vujicic makes things possible for his self.
The happiest man alive once said that to be happy you can’t hate, hate will destroy what you hate but it will also destroy you.
Happiness is an emotional state when you are feeling joy, satisfaction, contentment, and fulfillment. Doing a hobby, you like will make you happy
