These lines are copied from Ilchi Lee’s book. “Just as the muscles of the body need to be moved and stretched to become more flexible, so does the brain. This step seeks to take full advantage of neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to adjust to new environments and to learn new things. By challenging your brain to master new tasks, you help it gain new connections and greater capacity to recognize new patterns of thought and action. Essentially, the goal of this step is to create a highly adaptable brain that can learn quickly, overcome negative habits, and easily adapt to a wide variety of situations.
This step is likely to have a profound effect on the quality of your life because you will learn to break destructive mental and physical patterns of behavior while creating new, life-affirming habits. Bad habits can be difficult to break because they become, to some degree, hardwired into the brain through repetition, which solidifies neural connections related to the behavior. Fortunately, the brain never loses the ability to restructure itself, and thus new connections and habits can always be created. At the most advanced level of training, this includes the ability to change deeply ingrained prejudices and preconceptions for the creation of a better, more satisfying life.”
