You have to do the work. 

The brain can change in three ways to support learning:
1. Through a change in chemical signalling - this helps with short-term memory.
2. Structural changes - this happens through repeated behaviour over time. In other words #practice.
3. Functional change - as you use a brain region more (see above) it gets more excitable (yipee!) and easier to use again. This causes the brain to shift when and how these regions are activated.


The best driver of change is your behaviour.

There isn't a one size fits all approach to learning. Every brain learn

Tips:
- Study how and what you learn best
- repeat behaviours that are healthy for your brain. 
- practice - do the work your brain requires.

You have to do the work. Increased difficulty and struggle during practice actually leads to both more learning and greater structural change in the brain. 

There's no recipe for learning

Behaviors that you employ in your everyday life are important. Each of them is changing your brain
