Movement with attention, not automatic motion, builds new neural connections. Slow your walk, pause, and scan your body from shoulders to eyes. The brain adapts immediately when you notice what you're feeling.
Essential number 1 here is movement with attention. Yeah, so this is like the basic, the biggest essential. First of all, no movement, no life, right? Very often when people exercise and so on, we do it and we do it very often semi-automatically. But when we pay attention to what we feel as we move, the brain starts creating huge amounts of new connections with which it can, of course, spontaneously integrate into new Neural networks, new patterns, basically learning. For example, if people go to hike or walk or they go to the gym on a treadmill, you can slow the speed of the walking so you're safe and take 2, 3 minutes to just feel your body. What does your back feel like? Your shoulders, your neck, your eyes? And then just walk and immediately there will be changes.
