\u2022 The brain can prefer repetition and habit. Get out of autopilot by using novelty to get out of the default node network. Learn something new, do games and puzzles and attempt things in a novel way.
\u2022 Executive skills are those that allow us to exert fine control over our behavior. We can develop our self-control by using mediation to bring us to the moment despite distraction and a wandering mind. Resisting temptation becomes easier with practice, and strengthens our executive function.
\u2022 We can improve our emotional regulation by having CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy. We can reappraise situations and our emotional responses, distinguishing between perception and reality, and empowering proactive choice.
\u2022 Finally, we can boost our brain\u2019s recall limitations by practicing N-back tasks and other memory games that strengthen our working memory.
