"Switching off negativity may take a process that involves neuroplasticity. According to Puderbaugh and Emmady ( Journal of Behavioral Science, 2023), "Neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity or brain plasticity, is a process that involves adaptive structural and functional changes to the brain." Simply put, it is "the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, functions, or connections.""
"Dr. Breuning is founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and Professor Emerita of Management at California State University. In a 2015 interview, she pointed out: "Since our brain has a huge stock of extra neurons, you can build new neural pathways with them. It is not easy. But you have the power to repeat a new behavior until a neural pathway is created and electricity can flow in a new""
As holiday lights fade, political anger clouds may obscure expressions of love and gratitude. Anger can serve a constructive role when channeled into action that promotes fairness, equity, and peaceful social outcomes. Two practical ways to mitigate destructive anger are creating new neural pathways and embracing gratitude practices. Neuroplasticity enables the nervous system to reorganize its structure, functions, and connections in response to stimuli, allowing repeated new behaviors to form enduring neural routes. Repeating positive behaviors and cultivating gratitude can reduce negative responses and help rewire the brain toward more positive emotional patterns.
