How to Increase IQ and EQ with Movement

February 3, 2016 by IR Staff 2 Comments

1000

Movement is fast becoming a way to fully integrate our brains, making IQ (intelligence quotient) and EQ (emotional quotient) vastly improved for those involved in daily exercise.

At first I was skeptical, but the more I studied brain function, emotions, and movement the more it pointed toward holistic health: cognition, emotion, and motion.

How to Increase IQ and EQ?

The simple version is that when we move during play or exercise, we are forcing our brain to integrate left hemisphere (linear, language, order) with right hemisphere (creativity, body senses), and lower brain function (sensory, instinctual) with higher brain function (cognition, critical thinking).

Even more…

When we do cross-patterning or contralateral movements such as crawling, walking, running, and VersaClimber, we increase the hemispheric communication to a higher level.

Why this is important?

Many people think they should only study or read books to get smarter, but
more and more evidence is pointing to regular activity and exercise for peak brain function and intelligence. Also, IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is important, but without EQ (Emotional Quotient), we will probably be doing intelligent things alone. Emotional quotient is what helps us work better together, and better understand, use, and be okay with our feelings.

Try this out:

  • brea personal trainerIf you are stuck in a mental rut and can’t focus, go for a walk, jog, or just crawl up and down your office’s hallways–not only will this break up the monotony of the office humdrum, provide entertainment to your coworkers, but it will break sharpen your cognitive edge, allowing you to crush that project that takes deep thought and focus.
  • When your child is flipping out in the grocery store, play a quick game of tag, chase, or just dance out the tantrum. This should do two things: calm them down and allow your lengthy conversation as to why “we don’t tantrum in the store” to be understood.
  • If you keep crying every time the hallmark commercial comes on, or you’re not saddened by The Notebooks ending, run in place until your out of breath, so you can process those emotions with your whole brain.

I am not saying these are perfect solutions to your problems, but your daily movement routines are crucial for complete use of your brain’s capacity.

And lets face it, every time you drive to work, and your on the road with “those idiots”, you realize much of our population could use some extra brain capacity.

We might not be able to fix “them,” but we can choose higher IQ and
EQ for ourselves.

With improved brain function, and the ability to fully integrate our brain into our daily lives, we will connect with others deeper, experience life more vividly, and live out our purpose more completely.

Goal Setting – How To Write Goals And Then Accomplish Them by Innovative Results Founder and Owner Aaron Guyett

Goal Setting – How To Write Goals And Then Accomplish Them

Ouch!

What was that?

I was five and my friend, Doug, was four.

We were playing a fun game of Army at a construction site right across the street from my house.

I got hit again, and so did Doug.

We didn’t have any real weapons—what was that?

I looked down and saw the clump of exploded dirt that created the pain.

…dirt clods.

I wonder if the wise person that said, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail,” demonstrated and taught a strategy to plan, or did he just say, “write your goals down.”

I have been in the goal-setting and success-achieving business since I first had a dirt clod war with the neighborhood hooligans.

I was only five.

But I understood that if I didn’t plan correctly, and follow through, my friend Doug and I would have been clobbered by the bullies.

Now, so many years later, I still have that dirt clod victory and many more victories (and failures), helping me prepare for the win.

How to write goals – Here is my educated, experienced, and simplified process to boost you toward improved quality of life:

Goal Setting With Smart Goals1. Write out SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, as if you have Achieved them, Realistic, Time-based)

2. Use highly motivational and emotional reasons to succeed

3. Kill your old, bad habits completely and forever

4. Create new, good habits as action items and do them consistently until they become old, good habits

5. Do it now!

Writing SMART Goals really allows you to create a perfect environment mentally for your success.

Being Specific will create a definitive approach to what you need.

Without measuring, how do you know if you succeeded or failed?

As if you already achieved the goal is a method to create the proper neurological flow for success—it is essentially the opposite of saying, “I can’t.”

Realistic keeps you from failing every single time.

Lastly, time-based ensures you stay focused until you complete the goal.

If you can tap into your emotions, your goal-attaining career will sky rocket.

It is said that emotions are the number one selling point for any product or service.

blog consequencesGet emotional, and get it done.

This coupled with other motivational drives will create passion to complete your tasks or action items used for your goals.

Your old habits are exactly why you are the way you are, so if you keep them, you will stay the same.

This also means if you go back to them you go back to the person you are.

If you are reading this, you do not want to be where you are (on some level).

If it is your eating habits, kill the old ones, and create new good habits.

These new habits have to be inline and create success for you in your goals.

Just doing the new habit is okay, but doing it with consistency and discipline for a long enough period of time is the key to your success.

no elevator to success you take stairs, goalsI once made a video on the secret to success, and it proclaimed action as the secret.

This is true, these new, good habits are your action steps.

Consistency in this action is what will not only bring you to your success, but will create that success for the long term.

In the Marine Corps, I was put into situation after situation during combat, and the one thing that kept us victorious, was our insane adherence to repetitive training.

Now do it.

Do something for your success before you read any further.

Once you have these 5 steps down, there are many other ways to contribute and speed up your goal conquering. Read these entries on Innovative Results for additional support, but only if you have the above 5 steps down!
