Your brain is a muscle, and you need to train it.

Your brain is a muscle, but it also isn’t a muscle — how does that work?

Your brain isn’t a muscle in the same sense that your bicep is a muscle.

Your brain is not as simple as just being a muscle — it’s the most complex organ in the human body, made up of networks of billions of neurones and neurotransmitter chemicals. Your brain only actually contains a little muscle.

But, you can harness the power of your brain in the same way that you’d harness the power of your muscles — through training and consistency.

Every time you use your muscles, they get stronger. The same applies for your brain; every time you use it, it becomes stronger and more developed.

You need to correctly and effectively train your brain.
