Your brain tells your body to take an action. There is a path from your brain to your body part doing the action. The first time you do it, you get lost a couple of times and take a wrong turn. After a couple of times, the path is familiar. After taking the path enough times. your brain makes shortcuts. The more you repeat an action, the more shortcuts your brain makes. It’s a way to streamline processes.
