Age-Proofing Your Brain – Plasticity, 8

Tips to enhance brain plasticity.

•    Expect the unexpected. Learn to roll with the punches when something occurs over which you have no control. Stuff happens. If you accept that anything can happen at any time, you’re less likely to be thrown off your stride when it does. Collaborate with your brain’s plasticity. Hone your flexibility. Be able to adjust your game plan.

•  When struggling with a problem, ask yourself how it might look to someone of another gender, age, career path, political party, race, religion, culture, or socio-economic status. Or pretend you are in an active debate with yourself. State first one position, then advocate for the other. You may be amazed at the insights you gain.
