The main topic has been derailed again. 
I wish we could share some knowledge or resources about neuroplasticity. I need to rewire my brain to get rid of minor addictions and coping mechanism. 

You have one requirement down already, the desire to change.

Rewiring your brain is essentially learning, but the learning you want is not really conceptual knowledge but behavioural learning.

I would advise to self observe. Look at what triggers the behaviour. Is it stress? Or is it purely habitual? Do you do it in response to some bodily feeling? Or do you do it because it’s just become part of your routine or habit.

if it’s in response to something else, try to identify how you can change that cause which the behaviour is in response to, the bodily feeling.

If it’s just habit, not a coping mechanism, you might be able to substitute a different habit, something positive but still rewarding.

Just some ideas. I’m not an expert.

Doing it as much as I can, but of course not 100 % of the time, sometime I forget and am absorbed with other people, emotions, situations, thoughts, etc.

became habit for sure. As far as I can judge, habit is part of the routine. To get rid of the habit = changing the routine. 

Thank you for the feedback

What counts as “hardcore”? 

At least 1 hour per session.

During Sesshins (Zen retreats), each session lasts 1 hours and 30 minutes: two Zazen sessions of 40 minutes each with a Kinhin session of 10 minutes in the middle. There are about 6 complete sessions per day.

The ‘coping part’ is the pattern.

Microdosing psychedelics

They won't rewire your brain automatically but will certainly make the job easier.

Be sure this isn't your primary way of rewiring.
