Building Your Mind Like a Muscle

Research has shown that the more you use a part of your brain — the larger it will grow.

Taxi drivers in London England have been tested and shown to have a large hippocampi.

This portion of your brain helps you decipher spatial mapping (figuring out which way to go based on where you are).

Just like when you workout and your muscles get pumped up with blood.

When you use your brain – more blood is delivered to that area.

The more you use your brain the more it grows.

“You are what you are and where you are because of what has gone into your mind. You can change what you are and where you are by changing what goes into your mind.” — Zig Ziglar
