And Vice versa

Submitted by Serendip Visitor on Thu, 08/20/2009 - 11:29pm.

The activity (is that the right way to describe it?) of Yoga or Meditation is a behaviour which has definite brain benefits as is Tai Chi and other deliberate breathing/calming activities.

So the answer to your question is a definte yes.

However, we can also control our behaviour with our brain. It takes 21 days to change a habit for a new one. As an exercise try this.

Work out which shoelace you tie first in the morning, it will be the same one every morning because it is a habit. Now, practice tying them beginning with the other shoe for the next 3 weeks.

Wait a month and see if the habit has changed.
