Essentials for the brain

Do you see the connection with the elements we should work on to become Role models? Exactly—working on our brain is what helps us become Role models. Everything is linked, and the key lies in our brain.

Until about the age of 25, our brain is naturally plastic, meaning it can rapidly adapt, change mindsets, learn, maintain a healthy body, build relationships, and cultivate the will to act—all without much effort.
After 25, however, our brain’s natural plasticity decreases. But we know that by working on the five elements, we can actively stimulate neuroplasticity.

This is why it’s so important to educate our children and continue working on our own brains as we age—or maybe because we age.

“The human brain has 100 billions neurons, each neuron connected to 10 thousand other neurons. Sitting on your shoulders is the most complicated object in the known universe”

Embrace new challenges

Our brain requires new challenges to rewire and adapt. If there’s no need for change, why bother, right?

When we try something new, it will be difficult at first. This difficulty is exactly what our brain needs to adjust and grow.
