Brain Quote by Kevin Espiritu
““Due to brain plasticity, whatever actions we do and thoughts we have either solidify existing neuronal connections or create new ones. If you’ve reinforced a thought pattern or habit for years or decades, it can seem like it’s just “who you are.” But it’s just a well-reinforced network in your brain — it can be overwritten.””
