The Power of Thinking?

Does Thinking Change The Shape Of Your Brain?

Here’s a puzzler for you. Does thinking change the shape of your brain? For example, does contemplating this question actually physically change your brain?

Before you get your brain all tied up in knots, I’ll save you some time. Yes. Yes it does.

Now, onto the next round of this quiz: how are your imagination and actions connected? Are they?

To answer this question, I’ll defer to the fabulous video above by AsapSCIENCE. It’s a quick trip into your brain to uncover what happens when you try to perform certain tasks. Like writing out your signature with your dominant hand … and then writing it with the other hand. Did you know that the two actions are a lot more connected than you ever imagined? Key word there is ‘imagined’ …

So I strongly recommend you watch this quick video and critically think about how you go about your day-to-day life. It might just feel a little bit different.
