How to Change Your Brain
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Everything you think, feel, and do is based on stuff that's happening in your brain. This means that by changing what happens in our brain, we can affect every other process in our lives.
Here's how to use the power of "positive neuroplasticity" to change your brain for good.

Nicely done, Forrest! Love graphics that help me visualize the activity and process. Much gratitude :)
Nicely presented, and applicable in many niches of our lives. Thank you!
Beautiful explanation of how the brain can change - thank you!
Thank you for this! It was uncannily timely for me in a personal way and also a joy to watch. I’ve been a fan and subscriber of the Being Well podcast for quite some time and I love the gentle and meaningful way you and Dr. Hanson approach things. Not to mention the humor! I appreciate both of you so much.
I couldn’t agree with you more! Perfectly put!
So well articulated. Very helpful, succinct, great graphics, good teaching!
Very good explanation for so many things. Change is hard and you clearly made it clearer why!
Thanks Forrest! I love your sense of humor...and it's great to see you in person after listening to your podcast! Great job!
Thanks Sarah!
Thank you for such a clearly explained process and the encouragement to chunk down those goals I truly want to embrace and be honest about the one(s) I choose.
Thank you for listening!
terrific broad and targeted teaching that was really entertaining.
Thank you! You and your dad explain neuroplasticity in easy to understand, practical ways. I'm a Being Well subscriber:)
Are you calling me old???
Always.
but not redundad?
Very helpful. Thank you 🙏💐🙏
Nice Job, Forrest! I got through the whole video and it was well done. You’re also hilarious.
Keep it up. Building a UA-cam audience takes time but you can do it.
Great video Forrest, obviously you have an excellent inherited brain❣️not to give your Dad all the credit of course 😉
Excellent job of explaining neuroplasticity.
Glad you liked it!
oh, and! I love the graphics...I think I learn best with a multitude of media. Sometimes I think my brain switches off when listening to words. What are your thoughts about this!?
Absolutely! Different people have different learning styles. Visual vs. auditory vs. kinetic and so on. I'm predominantly an auditory learner, but it helps if I can write and repeat as well.
A lot of people - including my girlfriend - report exactly what you do, that listening for long periods of time can kinda cause your brain to "turn off" or zone out.
@@ForrestHanson Always helpful to be understood!!...and affirmed for my experience. Thanks. I often think there is "something wrong with me" when I lose track. I'm betting this is why I loved your facial expressions, raised eyebrows, clips of others, all the visuals. I am learning French and I experience the same thing...I seem to become really animated when the learning is interpersonal, relational, thru music, graphics etc! Thus mixing up how material is presented...so helpful!!! Thanks so much for your work. You make a difference!
I love the cuts lol.
I had some fun with this one
You’re a Boomer? I’m so confused. You definitely look younger than I do and I’m in Generarion X.
Who was the 3rd entity you referenced? Kurzgesagt came up when I typed something similar to what ya... tried to say 🤣
Hahaha that's the one!
wondering why you deleted my previous comment
Hey Katya, I don't remember deleting something, what was it?
