5 Brain Exercises to Improve Memory and Concentration | Jim Kwik

Okay, this is what I do before I get ready to go learn something or go on stage. Okay, it's called it comes from a science called Educational Kinesiology and it goes like this: they are different sets of

exercises

, you take the elbow and touching it on the opposite leg is something like that, they are called cross crawls according to uh Brain Gym, hey Brain Gym, my name is Jim lol so you're doing this and basically anything you know anything below the neck is controlled by the opposite side of the

brain

so you know the left side of your

brain

controls the opposite side of the body and vice versa and so on successively and this helps to be able to connect more of your corpus callosum left brain right brain more integrated which is very critical, look at this, a lot of us spend a lot of time on the computer, so it's like you're shaking your hands like this, okay, check your hands, get some fluidity in your wrists and now look at this.

Now one is going to go twice as fast as the other so look at this, just try this now like this, very simple, I can see it great and then I could also reverse it. I think I do it with the opposite hand. Very funny. The

exercises

wake you up and make you think a little. Another one is this if you take your arms and bring them closer as if you are moving energy towards you and bring it towards you, thus attracting it. this and now do this, do one towards you and one away from you like this, so you're just doing these circles and you can also do the opposite and breathe.

Some people hold their breath for some reason when they do this, so that's the way it is and if that's too hard, you can just pat your head and rub your stomach. They say juggling is very good for the brain. Additionally, there is a study carried out in Oxford. Chokos have very good brains, which is also good for speed reading, because to be able to look at them. three balls I only have two eyes I have to soften my folio vision and expand my peripheral vision relax a little more so I can take in more words and which is obviously great for reading too, but juggling actually develops more brain power It actually creates more white matter so when juggling you kept two in one hand and one in the other so juggling is really simple it's something you can do very easily you start with one and um if you're going to learn how to juggle.

I'm not a professional juggler, but I'm self-taught because I used to teach tennis a lot and when you're waiting for a court to open you only have like three balls to keep you busy, so you take this. This is a ball or rolled socks. The socks work great because they don't roll around like the walls can go everywhere. It's also good to have your first juggler to do this like a table or a couch somewhere so you don't have to You always just bend down and catch it, so you grab this and oh, is it good?

You're taking this and you throw it up and you catch it like this, so if I just throw it away. Get up and catch it and you really want this to get to the top of your head like this, and just looking forward, you're doing that and that's the right throw, so the second one, this is where it gets a little bit. Kind of interesting what I visualize is that I visualize two spikes, so two spikes because you can't cast them on the same spike because they'll just collide with each other, so you and one here and then one here and the trick is when this reaches its peak, that's your cue to throw the other one so you go one two and then you catch to the right so two different picks catch and then you stop like this and then the third one gets really interesting because then you don't stop. just take a maximum look every time you reach the top.

I imagine there's like a box like here and I'm just reaching this corner and this corner, this corner, this corner, so in theory, this is how it works, it looks like this and Notice I'm looking right at you because I'm not concentrating on any of these because then my attention will be everywhere, but I'm like that and I breathe and juggle to develop good brains, so you should never really do that. done yeah it's pretty easy two in one hand and you just throw and this is a good metaphor for life too because how many of us feel like we are juggling life and we have a lot of different things in the air that we have swords of fire and things like that because we wear a lot of different hats, so that's multitasking.
