Boomers, Millennials and Generation Z

One's always adapted to the circumstances one has grown up with and is currently surrounded with.
So, if someone asks "why can't you perform X?!" or "why do you do X now?!", then he should keep the thought "What have your parents taught you?" in the back of his head and similar.

Can you change the way of thinking?

To change well-trained brain structures is very difficult.

What I can say about it is: Individual psychology, as common in Western domains, doesn't do the job alone. Best thing would be a combination with surroundings, respectively macro-surroundings.
But that is difficult to do as it would mean to change the world and the way it functions like every day. The world may problably not agree on doing that (or at least those people which have a lot of influence onto the course of the human world)...

"To change well-trained brain structures is very difficult."

I am not speaking about trying to change flesh but about changing the way of thinking - to attempt look out of your cozy, habitual circle with using other conceptions - "Yes Man" movie as a comical example... ;)

Brain structures are the physical base for behavior.

What you behave like, what your habits are like - they all have pathways carved into your brain.
Or, better say: It's just long chains of millions of nerve cells, those pathways.

If you change behavior on the outside, then there's the chance to change these pathways... But only if this change becomes steady. If it becomes the rule, your regular behavior.

Imagine it like stopping smoking or stopping to drink.
You've gotta stop and behave different day by day so you get away from the addiction - or at least, the addiction has no control over you anymore... The item your brain craves for then doesn't rub it anymore.
