🧠Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. The benefits of neuroplasticity for individuals are recovery from brain injuries, adaptation to change, learning and memory enhancement, ...
Principles of neuroplasticity for my benefit
- Continuous learning to strengthen existing neural connections and create new ones.
- Hands-on project will deepen my understanding of coding but also provide a challenging environment for my brain = formation of robust neural networks.
- I will maintain a balanced lifestyle that includes adequate sleep, exercise, and stress management. These factors play a crucial role in supporting optimal brain function and neuroplasticity.

Growth Mindset
A growth mindset is the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication, effort, and learning. This contrasts with a fixed mindset, which sees abilities as inherent and unchangeable.
Notes on My Experience with a Growth Mindset:
During this exploration, I was surprised to learn about the growth
mindset. I always knew it existed, but never had the chance to
explore it. After reading and discovering more information, I'm
excited and motivated. Sometimes, it's tough for me to believe that
I can improve in different areas. I have certain ideas about what I
can or can't do. For instance, when I was a child, people always
said my sister was good at math, and I was seen as someone who was
not a hard worker and math brain. That's why I never thought about a
career in technology. Despite my interest in computers and
problem-solving, I leaned more towards human-centred career paths,
thinking I wouldn't be good at something logical. But now, I want to
change these thoughts. I want to shift from thinking I can't improve
to believing I can learn and grow in certain areas.
I've also come across valuable resources discussing how to foster a
growth mindset in children. want to use these ideas while raising my
children to help them succeed in life.
Integrating a growth mindset into my learning journey:
I plan to integrate the growth mindset into my learning journey by
setting clear learning goals, consistently reflecting on my
progress, and having a mentor to guide me.
