Except the cause of those physical processes seems to be something that by itself is not a physical process. If I can just decide to rewire my brain and that works, what prompted the rewiring? What told these neurons to say "We should do something different?"

Because that's essentially what's happening during neuroplasticity, something invisible and intangible (the mind) is changing the brain's building blocks.

It seems to be quite the plothole in the Physicalist Paradigm and the only objection appears to be "Naw uh"
