How to Learn Faster by Using Failures, Movement & Balance — Key Takeaways, Part 1/2
- Arrive at learning with appropriate arousal for the task by using tools to shift your autonomic state up or down as needed.
- Focus learning bouts around making repetitive errors for short periods, 7–30 minutes for most adults. Break learning into smaller increments.
- When learning feels frustrating, reframe it as effective and rewarding to activate dopamine. Shift your perception and experience.
- Engage your vestibular system through safe practices that move your body in new dimensions relative to gravity. Find activities that feel novel or challenging for you.

I share the best ideas from books, podcasts, and daily discoveries. Join me in learning something new every day.
The podcast provides an overview of neuroplasticity, how we can reshape our neural circuitry through targeted and deliberate practice by focusing our attention, making errors and accessing optimal mind-body states. Discussion centered around four behaviors that optimize neuroplasticity in adults: arriving at an optimal level of arousal, making many errors, utilizing the vestibular system, and attaching high importance or contingency to learning.
