My first real memories of this were during high school after giving up sports to focus on skateboarding and learning to play guitar, bass, and drums. Go over them in your mind before you start. Go to your special place, settle in, take deep healing breaths, and close your eyes. The areas where we grip and hold on show us where we can practice letting go. You got this!

There are other examples of brains growing and shrinking in response to learning, too. But I miss you, and I'm concerned that you might be pushing harder than necessary. You may at this point be wondering what all the fuss is about. One study, of around eleven thousand people, found that brain puzzles and games do nothing to make you smarter in general.3 They do make you a bit better at the game you have been practicing, but even then the effects don't last very long.
