What do you mean stop damaging it? What makes it sound like I'm not working with my brain? What makes it sound like I'm not exercising my brain?
No I'm not going to stop doing sports. I'm doing a lot to work with my brain, and I'm always learning something new.
I'm learning sumi-e painting to go with my calligraphy, I'm taking the time to get back into programming. This is my second year mountain biking and I've gotten pretty good at it over the summer. I journal every day and reflect, I've been making a lot of progress being less critical of myself. In doing all those things I've felt my social skills slip, so now I'm putting in the effort to be around people more and be vulnerable around them.
And yet I can feel places where my brain isn't as strong as it used to be. I'm accepting of that and trying to love myself in spite of my shortcomings. I don't need to optimize for everything, I can just focus on what's important to me.
