Your mind is the ultimate computer and your best one. But in many cases your brain just seems to have its own brain and way of doing things.

In many times you can feel that your brain can make decisions turns out to be against your good.

So how would you reprogram it to perform what you really want?

In computer science and engineering, Software refers to the code that controls computers and is written for them to make them work. That code can be stored on drives and updated when needed. Without that software they are worthless.

In embedded systems arena, Firmware refers to the embedded software code written to processors and microcontrollers embedded in devices to perform specific functions.

Firmware is stored on more hardware drives and can be updated just as software.

Application Specific Hardware, is the hardware that has been built for certain application and cannot be changed.

The human brain differs from all those types of systems.

The human brain is plastic. Neuroplacticity and Synaptic plasticity are the phenomena describing how the brain builds new connections to perform new functions.

The process of making new connections in the brain is not something as fast as downloading new software on your computer, nor is it as simple as reprogramming firmware on embedded systems applications.

But it’s not also strict and cannot be changed like application specific hardware.
Instead, brain circuits and connections are plastic and can be changed to perform and optimize performance.

It only takes time for these circuits to build.

Myelination is the process of adding matter around synapses to enhance signals sent between neurons.

Myelination is performed by repetition.

So what to do to reprogram your mind to do something?

Just do it. Don’t get depressed, don’t get frustrated because you are not able to do it.

You just need to start and repeat. Myelination will take over and your brain will be changed as you wish. And then wait to see the fruits of that change in your behavior, skills and performance.
