Your brain is always changing
Your brain is changing and it will continue to change your entire life. Yes, your brain is aging along with the rest of your body, but that’s not all that we are talking about here. A very important thing to realize is that your brain responds and adapts to the environment you live in and the experiences that you have.
Thoughts are things. They are electrical and chemical activities that by their very existence are changing the physical structure of your brain. Although you can’t stop it (and you wouldn’t want to), you can have some control over it. The question then becomes, are you changing your brain for better or for worse?
