Modern researchers have also found evidence that the brain is able to rewire itself following damage. Modern research has demonstrated that the brain continues to create new neural pathways and alter existing ones in order to adapt to new experiences, learn new information, and create new memories.

How do you create more neural pathways?

Neural pathways are strengthened into habits through the repetition and practice of thinking, feeling and acting. PRACTICE: Start your morning passionately declaring aloud your goals for the day. Declarations send the power of your subconscious mind on a mission to find solutions to fulfill your goals.

How long does it take to create new neural pathways?

A 2009 research paper by the University College of London says it takes on average about 66 days of repetition to form a habit (which could indicate a change in the neural pathway).
