Best way to rewire your brain and enhance neuroplasticity - Travel

by Sandeep Kulshrestha


The modern day psychologists are talking about developing neuroplasticity in the brain so that it can make the body flexible and induce positive hormones. In nutshell, “Neuroplasticity” refers to your brain’s ability to restructure or rewire itself when it recognizes the need for adaption. In other words, it can continue developing and changing throughout life.

Travel is one of the best way to rewire your brain. If you have budget constraints to travel to a new country, exploring offbeat places within your reach is a good idea as well. Travel should not be merely going to a new places and partying. You can invoke the curious part of your brain to understand the local culture while interacting with people, trying to visit places which are rare and hence activate the power of the brain a bit more. When you are curious and explorative, you can illuminate your mind and enhance your happiness.

Even if you cannot find time or headspace to travel outside your city, explore a new part of the city which you have never been to. Remember, a journey of thousand miles begin by taking that first step. It is always good to find new places around you. If you shop for groceries, drive ten miles and buy from a store you have never been to or take a morning walk in a neighborhood you have seldom being to. This changes the perspectives of rejoicing life and as a consequence, helping your brain grow.
