NEUROSCIENTIST Explains Why Failing Is CRITICAL For Your Brain Health | Dr. Tommy Wood X Rich Roll

One of the most important things is making mistakes is making errors because it d it drives those processes. That's why you know a lot of neuroplasticity is driven by neurotransmitters like neuradrenaline and dopamine and these are uh catakolamines. These are stress hormones right? So it feels slightly uncomfortable. That's part of the point. This is your brain attending to something important and diverting resources to change in response. What that means for us is that we have to do things that put us in a position to make mistakes or to fail because that's what drives neuroplasticity. But adults hate that, right? You go to a jiu-jitsu's class and you're like the bottom rung of the ladder and like people are going to kick your ass and throw you over their shoulders and you're worried about injury and all these other things or you're worried about looking stupid. But it's putting ourselves in those situations where we have the capacity to try, fail, learn, go back again. that's what's really driving um those changes in the brain.
