The Link Between Spatial Awareness, Attention, and Self-Awareness
TLDR Developing spatial awareness sharpens attention and deepens self-awareness, creating a foundation for improved mental focus, stress resilience, and physical coordination. Strategies like mindful walking, body scans, and mirror postural exercises enhance both mind and body.Spatial awareness isnāt just a physical skill; itās deeply connected to our mental attention and sense of self. When we...
Training Movement Like Training a Dog
TLDR Applying dog-training strategies to our movement routines can make us more aware, patient, efficient, and adaptable. By treating ourselves to rewards, practicing self-control, and taking short, focused sessions, we build a stronger mind-body connection and improve overall physical resilience. The takeaway? Next time you see a dog mastering a trick, take notesāyour own movements might just...
How Multiplanar Exercising Enhances Cognitive Function
TLDR Multiplanar exercising enhances cognitive function by engaging different muscle groups and stimulating brain activity. These exercises improve memory, focus, and overall brain connectivity, making them an effective preventative health strategy as we age.
