Train your prefrontal cortex like you train chest day
Chances are that you're going to the gym. And if you go to the gym, then it's pretty common to have a favorite workout routine (chestday), and have a least favorite one (probably legday). We make these routines to systematically work towards a goal. In this case, it's better health, better strength, better muscular looks, and so on. For the longest time, I used to be a bodybuilder. I was actually a sponsored athlete and would work out every single day for many years straight. Back in those days, I didn't care much about anything else. He was lifting, gaming, school somewhat, and then PMO. I cared for the latter one way more than I should. In my now older years I care for more things. Wisdom. Endurance. Mental resilience. Emotional control. Specifically, to be able to respond instead of react in different situations. One action that has led me to develop these fields and much more is the practice of meditation. You can see meditation as a workout for your brain. Specifically areas like the prefrontal cortex, which governs impulse control, emotional regulation, and decision making. Just like consistent training builds muscle thickness over time, consistent meditation has been shown to LITERALLY increase cortical thickness in this region. If you are going to take one piece of advice from me. It is to add working out your brain to your workout routine. It literally takes 10 minutes a day. can be more, can be less. It is very simple to do. Sit down in a comfortable position with an upright back. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. When you notice that your mind has drifted off alongside the thoughts that present themselves, don't try to force it away. Don't try to not think (that's not possible). Rather, just recognize that you have drifted away and return your focus to the breath. Even if it's just for a second before it drifts off again, keep returning your focus to the breath. That are the reps that helps you grow.
