The strain felt during this process is a positive indication of neuroplasticity at work, signaling that your nervous system is adapting. By actively choosing to immerse yourself in the learning experience, you can harness the power of your mind to retain and understand information more effectively.In this clip

At first, epinephrine, the brain’s “alertness molecule,” surges, creating that restless, uncomfortable tension at the beginning of effort. As you stay with the task, dopamine, the “molecule of motivation,” engages to sustain your drive and keep you leaning forward.

The strain isn’t the obstacle to focus. It’s the gateway to it.
