Give yourself room to grow.
Be patient with yourself as you grow.
It can be uncomfortable to reveal to others you are a novice in some things.
When we reach a certain age there is a belief system that says I should know this by now.
The facts of life are not revealed through age, simply meaning just because you get older does not mean you are smarter or have more knowledge.
Each one of us must be passionate about being a student.
Just remind yourself of how it felt when you were in school, taking classes or in college.
There is excitement in learning, new concepts, and knowledge that stretches your mind.
Behind learning is a science that affects the brain.
Dr. Daniel G. Amen MD shares the following:
Because our brains are designed to prune away unused synaptic connections, our cognitive skills tend to dip after we graduate from college or retire from work. To stay sharp as a whip, continue to challenge your brain on a daily basis. Each time you learn something new and practice it, your brain will either change the structure of its neurons (cells) or increase the number of synapses between your neurons, allowing them to send and receive information faster. You can harness your brain’s inherent plasticity to learn new skills, build a better memory or quicken your speed of processing abilities, which will help to keep you sharp as you age.
Decide today to stay sharp!
Happy Monday:)
