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.

If You Want To Be Fit – Decide Today To Look, Feel, and Perform Better

November 16, 2015 by IR Staff Leave a Comment

If you want to be fit.

If you want to look better.

If you want to feel better.

If you want to perform better.

Decide today, and then act on that decision.

EmilysQuotes.Com-time-plant-tree-present-nature-being-a-good-person-inspirational-Chinese-Proverb

As the Chinese proverb states, the best time was a long time ago, but that is all the more reason to get started today!

We are blessed with the ability to envision our future, and remember our past.

If we choose to see this cognitive ability as a gift, it can exponentially increase the power of our present.

Every passing moment is an opportunity to make good, healthy choices.

If you want to be fit – decide today!

Every next minute and hour is not claimed by our past, but by the decision we make here and now.

We may not control everything, but we have the ability to control what we decide and act on in every present moment.

A deep realization of the power of choice we have been gifted with, could not only change our life for good, but also have a lasting impact in the lives of those close to us.

Here is Master Coach Aaron Guyett’s Story of Deciding Now…

A+K Wedding-267

When I decided to take responsibility for my decisions, I had severely screwed up my life, relationships, and career…needless to say, I missed the opportunity to plant the proverbial tree 20 years ago, so I planted the tree that day.

It has been ten years since I made that decision, and although I have screwed up here and there, the last ten years have been incredibly transformative.

I have no doubt in my mind that in ten years from now, the proverbial tree that I planted in March of 2004, will represent extraordinary transformation in my life, and in the lives of so many others.

Not because I am extraordinary, but because I have to plant the proverbial tree, water it, feed it, and care for it, turning the next decision into the best decision that I can make in each present moment.IMG_20150701_194013

Over the last ten years, I have experienced incredible gifts and blessings from the decision to plant a tree:

  • Married the most incredible gift of a woman that God could have provided
  • Have two of the most beautiful blessings of daughters
  • Built a business out of helping people improve their quality of life
  • Helped 3,451 people over the past ten years get a little better life
  • Set American Records and won a National Title
  • Paid off all of my debts personally
  • Saved and saving for my future and my family’s future
  • Bought our family’s first homes
  • Led hundreds of Marines in training and Photo Courtesy of Steve Burroughscombat
  • Created educational protocal for the busy parent, and the motivated trainer to help improve lives exponentially
  • Served and given to local and global charities

I am not special, nor am I a one-off. I just made the decision, and stuck to it.

You have the same power in your present.

Whether you want to change physically, mentally, or spiritually, the power lies in your decision today.

Have you planted your tree?
