Retrain Your Brain Novels & Stories

"Stop saying that." "It is true. I should be decommissioned." Elion grabbed Cale's face. He forced Cale to look at him. "You are not a machine," Elion said fiercely. "You are a man who is scared. That's allowed." "Fear is inefficient." "Fear is human." "I do not want to be this human," Cale whispered. "It hurts." "I know. But we're going to fix it." "How? You cannot patch a nervous system." "We retrain it," Elion said. "Exposure therapy. But controlled."

Maybe it was because things seemed to be going so well lately. After months of one crisis after another, my brain didn’t know how to switch off. If that was the case, I needed to retrain myself. Constant vigilance, hyper-focus—it wasn’t healthy. It would only lead me to make a mistake out of fear, something reckless that could ruin everything. And I couldn’t afford that. Not now. “How was the gym?” Alexander’s voice startled me, and I turned to see him entering the room. His damp hair and the steaming coffee cup in his hand suggested he’d showered and shaken off his hangover.

Could feel the texture of the air against my skin. "The sensory stuff will calm down over the next few days as your brain learns to filter out what's not important. Right now everything is hitting you at once because you don't know how to tune it out yet." "How do I learn?" "Practice and time. We'll work with you to develop control." Cain took a drink and studied me over the rim of his glass. "You should probably take a few days off work. The transformation is going to continue and you don't want to be around humans when you can't control your strength or reactions."

“Is there any way I can help her with that?” “Right now, the best thing you can do is surround her with things she is familiar with. It might help her to figure out what she is forgetting.” The man nodded and smiled sadly. “Thanks, doctor. I will do that.” “But how long will that take? I mean, how long will I be able to regain all my memory?" I asked the question that was bugging me the most. “It is hard to say, but it will be easy to regain your memory by surrounding yourself with things you are familiar with. Also, you can book a training session at the hospital. We had a center that focused on training your mind. It can be helpful for your mental health.”

Sofia added, “With YouTube videos and then checking where they got the information from.” Alex slowly nods, saying to her, “Let me explain, honey. The brain is just another muscle. It gets tired and needs warming up to start working fully. The time in which you can maintain maximum concentration is quite short if you do not train it. It is more ideal for studying lightly daily than strongly before tests and exams. Sofia crossed her hands and smiled at him, and she said, “So if you study daily video games and work?”

“You cheated.” I crossed my arms over my chest. “Want to tell me why you nearly broke down my door?” “Cain found this meditation technique from five hundred years ago. It is far more effective for rewiring the mind than anything we have stumbled across,” Ronan explained. “We figured that it would be perfect for you,” Leo added, his arm swinging over my shoulder as he led me downstairs. “So we are getting ready for lunch, we thought that you should try it.” “And you decided to race to see who would try it on me?”

Despite the fact that I was able to feel everything in my legs, with the exception of the region surrounding the scar on my right thigh, I had no control over the movements. It was really getting under my skin. "This is terrible!" I came very close to growling at her. "I'm not even doing anything!" the speaker exclaimed. She instructed me to "just think about how you would make your leg move along with what I'm doing," and I did as she instructed. "Centre your attention on the way in which your mind would manage the muscles. The first thing you need to do is make room in your schedule for your brain to retrain itself alongside your muscles.

I answered her with a grunt. “Don’t resist, Nathan. Graham passed a lot of information to your brain. Let your brain process them and store them. You will need them in the future to understand so many things. Sit down and meditate. Winter, you too.” Mayra instructed us calmly, still working on Graham. “Do as she said, Nathan.” Mom also instructed me in a serious tone and slowly moved away from me. “It’s better if you go to the office and stay there.” Dad suggested it to me in a serious tone.

Cassidy was very still. “How much damage?” she said. “Some is reversible,” Elder Wren said. “Most, given time and full access. But the wolf is like a muscle that has been held in a fixed position — it needs to be retrained. Stretched. Given work that matches its actual capacity rather than the reduced one it has been living with.” She held Cassidy’s gaze steadily. “You will notice gaps. Things that should be instinctive that require effort. Things that feel unfamiliar that your wolf actually knows.” She paused. “This will pass. But you need to know it’s coming.”

Cadee starts to lecture her, but Austin is quick to intervene and politely stops her. "Hey, I know you're thinking that walking the pattern is super boring and not teaching you anything, but actually, it is. You're training your muscles to remember what to do and your brain to do it without even thinking about it. We say five times because it takes at least three times for your brain to make it a habit. Pretty cool, right?” Austin just gave her the lowdown and Stacy's totally into it. "Alright, I get it. But if I want to be the best, I gotta do the boring stuff to train my brain and muscles." She grins and walks away.
