1. Clearing the path. The Brain and Learning richardjones@igrin.co.nz

2. Every time you have a thought, it is like trying to clear a path through a forest.

3. The first time is a struggle … You have to fight your way through the undergrowth.

4. The second time you travel that way will be easier because of the clearing you did on your 1 st journey.

5. The more times you travel that path the less resistance there will be…

6. Until after many repetitions you will have a wide, smooth track that requires little or no clearing.

7. This is what happens in our brains too. The more often you repeat the patterns or maps of thought, the more clearer the path to understanding is.
