It's a lot of work. Initially, you should find out what you mean by being stupid. As far as it corresponds to reality. If there is a problem, then you need to find out what exactly the problem is. Then start solving it by creating special exercises for you. This is a lot of individual work.

The brain likes to simplify everything, it loves everything familiar. Therefore, he chooses what is convenient and familiar. A well-developed scheme means making a split-second decision.

You need to develop the ability to think quickly, I would call it that. You need to start by improving your educational level, expanding your horizons. Read books, preferably with a fast-paced plot.

In general, you can learn more easily with the help of a knowledgeable person.
