In synergic system of the brain 1 plus 1 has infinite potential, Tony called this brain? Principle number one. I could not believe what I was reading, I was absolutely amazed, this meant that every thing that enters your head has the potential to multiply.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">What doe&#8217;s this mean for you? <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This means that unlike a computer, the human brain, your brain is capable of\u00a0creatively Manipulating information or input infinitely to get new out puts, you\u00a0have creative power that is potentially limitless.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> The only limit on this power is your willingness or desire to use it and\u00a0the quality of the input\/food you put in your head.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Ok it\u2019s show time<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Here\u2019s what happens when you stimulate your neurons into a state of electro boogie (activity) The process of learning, this maybe by playing a challenging game, reading a stimulating book or learning to play a song on a musical instrument, the neurons in your brain fire Like mad, it\u2019s like there&#8217;s an electrical storm brewing in your head. As this bio Electrical storm takes place in your dome, your brain structure or neural pathway literally Begins to change, as your brain makes more mental connections, the lights come on and you get ah hah moment.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Keep on keeping on &#8211; time and work hardwire your new brain <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>(Over the course of time continued stimulation kicks of the process of\u00a0Neurogenesis, your brain wont be the same, this does not matter what your goal is, in a Few months you can re modal your brain and reinvent yourself.\u00a0This is the truth behind all <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mpdspace.com\/blog\/what-is-personal-development\/\">personal development<\/a> and learning.

In order for you to develop new abilities and skills we need to stimulate the brain to either grow new neurons, make new connection or activate unused brain centres, to trigger the activation these Centres we need a catalyst or stimuli. Personally my favourite stimuli are:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Debating or reasoning as they say in Jamaica<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Observing the environment<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Reading rich books (rich in learning\u2019s)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Juggling<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Rapping free styling<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Playing guitar<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Meditation&#8230; (Meditation a funny one because it comes in active and passive\u00a0forms.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Neurogenesis&#8230; Giving an old dog a new brain<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What you do physically changes you mentally through the process of Neurogenesis &#8211; in order to grow smarter you&#8217;re going to be looking for skills which are transferable.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Two \u00a0Points two\u00a0remember\u00a0\u00a0about your Brain <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the same way information or input can synergicaly trigger new thoughts and\u00a0ideas?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Physical activities and hobbies can synergicaly develop new mental abilities,talents and skills.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>These are very powerful statement<\/strong>, think about it&#8230; Physical activities or hobbies can be used to Develop and restructure your brain&#8230; all you need to do is decide what skills and abilities you want to develop and then find activities, games or hobbies that will help develop the traits involved, the point is to use your hobbies or activities to develop transferable skills, talents&#8230;. a good way to look at it is to make you work your play and when play times over you will of\u00a0found that you have a new ability.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000;\">What \u00a0games to make you smarter<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Your activities can be Catalyst for Neurogenesis<\/li>\n<li>Its takes a bit of time to hard wire new mental pathways &#8211;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A good example of a Catalyst is Chess, chess is a fun game, well for some it is, I hated it<br \/>\nuntil I found out that about synergism and neruo genesis, anyway chess is a game of strategy, memory concentration and logic at the time my brain felt blunt, I found playing chess a useful sharpener, in the began I was always getting my ass kick by friends and robots, but in time Neurogenesis kicked in and the force was with me, Like Luke sky walker, I became an worthy opponent.\u00a0<strong>Remember<\/strong> it\u2019s not about playing to win, it\u2019s about playing to grow, just have fun, a bunch of pumped up neurons will be the fruit of your labour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">So what was harvest of this labour?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The product was a boost my concentration, logic and strategical planning skills. &#8211; Its not like going to Cambridge University&#8230; but those transferable skills are useful in many areas life business or academic pursuits.\u00a0Think about how you can use games to pimp your brain &#8211; Theirs games like cash flow quaderant from&#8230; rich dad poor dad that help you to develop financial literacy etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>For anybody interested in personal growth<\/strong> this mind body or brain body Principle has far reaching implications, for growth.
