If you're mid-career and wondering why the grind feels heavier, or you're trying to make peace with a shift in your role - this one's for you. I finally understood what was really happening in my brain. That realization gave me clarity, and confidence. [00:05:27] Crystallized vs. fluid intelligence: Once you know which one you're operating from, you stop competing with 25-year-olds. [00:07:02] The “definition of done” lens changed how I lead younger, faster thinkers, and freed up my bandwidth. [00:11:27] John Eldredge's 6 stages of manhood helped me figure out what stage I skipped... and how I went back to reclaim it. [00:22:05] I no longer need the applause. That's when I realized it's time to share the stage, not dominate it. [00:44:18] -Thanks for listening, Chris and Brandon Did you know... Only 30% of businesses listed for sale actually find a buyer? Even more striking, just 10% of those sell for the price their owners anticipated or higher, meaning only 3% of all business owners achieve their desired sale price. By focusing on understanding and enhancing your enterprise value, you can significantly boost your chances of joining that successful 3%.

In this solo episode of Modern Chiropractic Mastery, host Dr. Kevin Christie delves into the distinction between fluid and crystallized intelligence and their significance for chiropractic professionals. Drawing insights from Arthur Brooks' book 'From Strength to Strength,' Dr. Christie explores how recognizing and transitioning between these forms of intelligence can shape and enhance a chiropractor's career. He discusses the common pitfalls for both younger and seasoned chiropractors, offers strategies for navigating midlife career challenges, and stresses the importance of faith, family, friendships, and a positive work attitude in achieving long-term career satisfaction.

Following the successful live show back in October, Paul and Eli have been graced with an assortment of gifts and items for the podcast to enjoy! There is quite a lot to get through, and the Cheap Chaps have to start somewhere, so why not start with a mystery bag of goodies from Andy and Louise! In what ends up being one long “Price of Shite” challenge, there are eight items to investigate and evaluate. Over the next hour or so, expect to learn about Morph's family tree, whether fishing is better than sex, who on Earth “Luke Fictitious” is, the joy of big boats AND if Paul's “fluid intelligence” is better than Eli's “crystallized intelligence”. There are BIG p'twings at stake!

Whether you're a young artist finding your voice or a seasoned creator navigating new challenges after 30, this episode is packed with insights on how to harness both types of intelligence to fuel your creative journey.

Mascarpone-rich Italian cream cheese helps to make this a tender loaf, and bittersweet chocolate and crystallized lemon or orange peel combine to make it unusual. The lemon peel-chocolate combination will get your attention because it is different; the orange peel with chocolate is more of a classic pairing of flavors but is no less fine. Serve a slice of either version of this elegant loaf with a cup of rich coffee, and you are in for a treat. The crystallized peel is sold in bakery supply stores. Citron, which figures in many fruitcakes (to the dismay of some otherwise dedicated fruitcake eaters), is not a substitute.

The Astrology of the Week Ahead Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A new energetic phenomenon is occurring with the advent of the internet and on-line computer technology and that is the intensity of absorbable astral energies and even entities that can be exposed to our consciousness and subtle body system.  If we realize on a positive note that we can do healing sessions through Zoom and on-line platforms, in a similar and perhaps unconscious fashion, we can be absorbing other types of energies and frequencies every time we log onto the web and surf various internet websites, email messages, social media sites, webpage browsers, and on-line videos to name some possibilities.  All of these are strong astral (emotional and mental) thought forms and morphic fields which influence our consciousness and seven subtle bodies. This 50 minute healing session is meant to be used to clear our seven subtle bodies and in particular the astral bodies (emotional and mental bodies) of all internet influences that are detrimental or non-enhancing to our well-being.  Some of these may be energies and influences that are part and parcel of working on the internet.  This energy session may be like taking a shower after a long day outside at work.  Some other energies may be more harmful and need a deeper cleansing.  This session can also handle these types of influences. The first 10 minutes of the healing session will be a quick cleanse.  The full 50 minute session will be a thorough cleansing.  Then in the future using the recordings you can either use the first 10 minutes to do a daily efficient and quick clearing after being on the internet or the full 50 minutes for a deeper clearing if needed. Below are some of the aspects that can be cleared: 1) Possible astral entities and spiritual beings that come through the internet and the strong morphic fields created by the consciousness of web pages created by millions of viewers or people interacting through these sites 2) Crystallized astral thought forms from the internet 3) Astral energies from the internet 4) Higher detrimental influences that may be coming through at the causal and spiritual level from the internet --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gene-ang/support

Welcome back to The Psychotic Break! Do you fear your intelligence is declining? Or perhaps it is improving in ways you can't explain? Well, in this episode, Madey and Kimi explain the difference between crystalized and fluid intelligence from the 1960s.

Welcome, Junior Wizards! This week, we are inspired by the prompt "Prompt: the whispered secrets have never been told, because few who hear can remember them long enough to do so" to create a BIG world detail! Ethereal Shards. Crystallized fragments containing the thoughts of being who created our universe. To hear them all would tell the grand narrative of the cosmos. But if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

The theme this week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast is: 5 Lessons from the book: From Strength to Strength by Arthur Brooks Today, I'm continuing from yesterday to talk about the primary theme in this book - which is jumping off the fluid intelligence curve on the crystallized intelligence curve.  Our fluid intelligence, which is our ability to reason, think flexibly, and solve novel problems, declines as we age, and if you're in your 50s or 60s like most of you are listening to this podcast, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your fluid intelligence peaked decades ago.  That's the hard truth, but the good news is that our crystallized intelligence increases as we age. So if we can stop the futile exercise of fighting against the decline of our fluid intelligence, and look for ways to embrace and use our growing crystallized intelligence, we'll be more fulfilled and happy as we age. In fact, the author notes that “the people who are happiest and most satisfied in their fifties, sixties, and seventies are those who made this leap [from the fluid intelligence curve to the crystallized intelligence curve].” Knowing the types of activities and careers that utilize our crystallized intelligence most are key to successfully getting off the fluid intelligence curve and hopping on the crystallized intelligence curve.  That's because, according to the book “if your career requires crystallized intelligence—or if you can repurpose your professional life to rely more on crystallized intelligence—your peak will come later but your decline will happen much, much later, if ever.” Careers that involve teaching, mentoring, leadership, speaking and writing, are far more satisfying for us as we age, because crystallized intelligence is our ability to use a stock of knowledge learned in the past. So anything that allows us to share our knowledge and experience to teach others as we see noticeable declines in our fluid intelligence will be the most rewarding and meaningful.  That's it for today.

The theme this week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast is: 5 Lessons from the book: From Strength to Strength by Arthur Brooks Today, I'm talking about the most important concept that can be applied to your life from the book “From Strength to Strength”. The author spends a lot of time in the early part of the book discussing the 2 types of intelligence: fluid and crystallized.  Fluid intelligence is our ability to reason, think flexibly, and solve novel problems. Our fluid intelligence declines as we age, and it peaks very early in life - late teens to early 20s. Then it starts a slow decline that becomes more noticeable by middle age. According to the book our “prefrontal cortex degrades in effectiveness, and this has several implications. The first is that rapid analysis and creative innovation will suffer. The second is that some specific, once-easy skills become devilishly hard, like multitasking.” “Another skill is the recall of names and facts. By the time you are fifty, your brain is as crowded with information as the New York Public Library. Meanwhile, your personal research librarian is creaky, slow, and easily distracted. When you send him to get some information you need—say, someone's name—he takes a minute to stand up, stops for coffee, talks to an old friend in the periodicals, and then forgets where he was going in the first place. Meanwhile, you are kicking yourself for forgetting something you have known for years. When the librarian finally shows back up and says, “That guy's name is Mike,” Mike is long gone and you are doing something else.” That is the decline of your fluid intelligence.  Thankfully the other type of intelligence, crystallized intelligence, actually increases with age, and if we can use more of our crystallized intelligence and rely less on our fluid intelligence as we age, we will be happier and much less frustrated. Crystallized intelligence is defined as the ability to use a stock of knowledge learned in the past. What happens as your crystallized intelligence increases as you age is multifaceted. Studies show that “people maintain and grow their vocabulary—in their native languages and foreign languages—all the way to the end of life. Similarly, you may notice that with age, people are better at combining and utilizing complex ideas. You get better at using the concepts you know and expressing them to others.  “When you are young, you can generate lots of facts; when you are old, you know what they mean and how to use them.” The key is using these changes in our intelligence to jump off the declining  fluid intelligence curve onto the growing crystallized intelligence curve. In other words - going from strength to strength. That's it for today. Thanks for listening!

Tonight we have an update on what's going on with Jay Against Humanity on Crystallized Beats Podcast - Nevernaire Media Group https://nevernaire.com/humanity

The theme this week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast is: A Phased Retirement…Is It Right For You?  Today, I'm talking about using your crystallized intelligence effectively for a happier phased retirement.  Now if you aren't familiar with the term, crystallized intelligence, it's important that you know what it is, because it has important implications for being happy in your late-working years.   There's 2 types of intelligence - fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence. Fluid intelligence refers to the ability to reason and think flexibly. Crystallized intelligence refers to the accumulation of knowledge, facts, and skills that are acquired throughout life. At nearly 15 years in to my career as a financial advisor, believe it or not, I'm nearing the peak of my fluid intelligence in my career. If I stay in this career another 20 years, I will definitely start to see some noticeable declines in my fluid intelligence.  But that's ok, because even though fluid intelligence declines for all of us and earlier than we think, crystallized intelligence actually increases with age. Many aspects of fluid intelligence peak in adolescence and begin to decline progressively beginning around age 30 or 40.  Jobs that require you to be at the peak of your fluid intelligence are often frustrating for older workers. As we age, we lose our edge and our ability to reason and deal with complex information.  But that's ok, because this other aspect of our intelligence - crystallized intelligence - continues to increase with age. The key is working in a job, especially a job later in your career - that uses your crystallized intelligence and doesn't demand so much of what's left of your fluid intelligence.  Examples of this would be a manager or a supervisor, where you have the opportunity. Jobs that involve speaking and teaching or writing are also good for using your crystallized intelligence, without the frustration of fighting against the decline of your fluid intelligence.  That's it for today.

Hello hello hello Welcome to another installment of Ink n Bones: Game Day. We will be jumping back into our game Lament of Serverance and starting in earnest. Before we can do so however let's discuss a few things. Namely, schedule, I'm currently producing bi weekly content, this will change to a weekly AP on Fridays and bi weekly commentary on Mondays as normal. I am still working some format kinks out and appreciate any feedback you have. If you are not apart of The Inkyard smash that subscribe button for your next Exceptional Yes and may the bones be ever in your favor. Already part of The Inkyard, share this with someone who'd enjoy it.Last TimeYou can check out our character creation here.Having played through a bit of backstory between Kal and Atliss.I had to make a decision do we keep with that theme or move directly into the story? Normally I like to build out a ton of backstory but I'd like to discover Kal along side you. So here are somethings we can infer starting out. Kal might have a chip on his shoulder. We also got a back story NPC Old Man Worthy. I've no idea where the story will take us but let's touch base with our Oracle and get started.Adventure SetupFirst let's roll up a scene setup Event focus; d100 -> [93] -> npc positiveMeaning; 2d100 -> [71, 78] -> trick massesSo our Event focus is an NPC Positive the Meaning is trick masses? We are going to interpret this but in order to do that I want to learn a bit more about this NPC. Let's go to the UNE supplement! 2d100 -> [55, 90] -> Elderly CharmerTheir motivation? 2d100 -> [66, 40] -> Persecute The ChurchOh boy 🤣 the dice are in kahoots today it seems. So an Elderly Charmer with a motive to Persecute the Church.Something good happened that furthers his motives to Persecute the Church. I'm 🤔 thinking it may not have been him who tricked the masses. From here on I'll be using the Mythic Variations Fate Check ✅ as a stand in for the fate chart oracle. Makes things a bit snappier. Here are the basics you need to know.Roll 3d10. 2d10 for your Fate die and 1d10 for your Chaos die. Adding modifiers for odds. Our Fate die must roll above an 11 for our answer to be yes.Was there something revealed about the church? Odds: Likely CF3 2d10+2+2 -> [5, 7]+2+2 -> Yess!!d10 -> [3] -> ExceptionalOh boy so we have to talk a little bit more about the CF here. When we roll within the Range of the CF which is ≤ 3 some things happen based on our Fate Die.If Fate Die are:Odd|Exceptional answer.Even|Random EventDoubles|Exceptional and RandomWhich for us this means this is an exceptional yes.What was revealed? Detail check CF3 2d10+2 -> [10, 7]+2 -> CalmAction meaning: 2d100 -> [65, 16] -> Inquire IntriguesDescriptor: 2d100 -> [6, 97] -> awkwardly warmAlrighty so our Scene Setup is Something was revealed about the church which furthers our elderly charmers motive of persecution of said church. Calm we will interpret as it being the neutrality of the church. Their truce is a falsehood of some kind. Oh I got it. This NPC has found evidence that the church uses some level of compulsion or suggestion to keep the peace amongst their followers. It is stripping people of their will and is used to extract secrets and information from the laymen and nobles alike. Pretty broad strokes, but I think this is a solid set up. Kal is newly out to adventure the world, so we'll say he is tasked with finding the one responsible for spreading these 'rumors' about mind control we'll see if there is any merit to it. This all reminds me of two very specific characters.So we will name this NPC Mindsrel Titanshard, why? We will be setting this in the starting city of Sericun Petrum. A city built in conjunction with my main group using Sorry Did You Say Street Magic and Ex Novo.(some of my favorite worldbuilding games) This description simply fits the narrative we have setup about Mindsrel, a bard who spends his days in front of the sanctuary orating on the folly of belief in the gods or the church. Having Contextualized everything we can jump into the narrative.SeriKal made his way into the city of Sericum Petrum with his Scalehound, Atliss in tow. The city wasn't overly big but it was pretty old, and densely populated. Atliss slipped a large tusk beneath Kal's arm and stayed tight at his heel. He'd been instructed to make his way to The Sanctuary, to begin his rite, the Lorn March, a pilgrimage out of the glade. Kalzussis was no stranger to the near by cities and towns of Cham Roulan and the southern Cimdel forest. He'd traveled to the Shimmering Lake and explored the grounds of the World Spire. He was a pain. The Lorn was sacred in its way, to leave the Glade possibly never to return, not to Kal. There was a pride about him that made it impossible for him not to want to make his mark. Here he was the youngest of his brood to venture on this path. He grinned and took in the sights.He was to meet with Rongar Primem the Keeper, at The Sanctuary. Impossible to miss, that's what Old man Worthy told him any way. A large ornate building with white smoke coming from the courtyard, smells of mint and vetiver. Can't follow the smoke, follow the smell. Granted even with clear instructions the amount of people made it hard to navigate to The Sanctuary, the street rats and urchins were out en mass looking to beg, or snatch what coin they could. Easily dissuaded with a bit of guile from Kal. Using Atliss as a scapegoat, offering rides instead of coin in exchange for a guide. Which made his journey that much longer. He didn't mind though, the children were knowledgeable in ways adults weren't. Pointing out the different landmarks of the city, places that had the best scraps, the nicest person in town Lady Shiversalt, and the spookiest people in Seri the Acolytes of Ego. Two of the small gaggle that'd been following him for the better part of the last two hours bolted when they saw the Acolytes."Rongar the Golden? That's what people call him?" Kal asked the little hobgoblin boy. The boy put out his hand wordlessly. Kal rolled his eyes and chuckled as he reached back into his pouch and pulled out a bit of cheese and a few more river stones. This had been their routine the past two hours, every few questions he needed to pay up. The kid drove a hard bargain. He bit into the river stone and then handed the cheese to Atliss as he pet him aimlessly. "Aye, that's what the Acolytes have started to call him. He's different, still nice, but different." He shrugged and looked up pulling at Kal's tunic. "That's him."At the gates to The Sanctuary stood two men some three to four decades his senior having what looked to be an argument."YOU WILL NOT SILENCE ME RONGAR! THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW. YOU ARE NO MORE A SAINT THAN I! YOU COWARD!" The flamboyantly dressed half elf spat at the mans feet. The man Kal assumed to be Rongar, an almond skinned Elderly Half- Orc, with golden eyes and golden hair, wisp of silvery white at his temples. The creases in his cheeks and around the eyes said he was used to laughing. Now he just looked tired."Mindsrel, you gossip. I have done you the kindness these few years of allowing you to continue your slander before The Sanctuary. We welcome all under the simple request they stay any grudges they may have at these gates.""YOU-” Rongar's hand snapped up, his eyes cold.“I was not finished," he gave a nod to some of the fellowship as they passed through the gate his eyes warm once again, "As I was saying, you can continue to spew your maladies as much as you like Howler5. The issue comes when it begins to stir commotion within these walls. There was yet another report of one of your ilk, defacing altars with false and inadequate sacrament." Rongar's face knotted “and in my opinion simply filthy.”“Simply means others are starting to learn the truth, Keeper, or should I start calling you The Golden One?" Said the half-elf.Rongar sighed and waved a hand dismissively. "Go Howler, there is no telling what might happen.""That a threat?""A warning that you have enemies and I am but an old fool who thinks you a friend, Howler Mindsrel. I can’t keep them from you if you press me so."Mindsrel scoffed and gave Rongar another once over.“Nor I yours from you…friend.” He gave a flourishing bow and walked away. He paused for a second and locked eyes with Kalzussis and gave a tip of his hat before he disappeared into the crowd. Kal turned to speak to the children who'd 'guided' him.only to see them pattering off after the Howler, who could be heard lifting into song. He chuckled to himself“Forest breeze upon you, I take it you are Rongar the Keeper of the Sanctuary? I am Kalzussis, child of Elava.” Kal said as he stepped forward to greet Rongar. Rongar stood with rubbing his temples visibly calming himself. He squinted and smiled exhaustedly.“Yes, I received a letter of your arrival a few days ago. Come, come there is much to discuss. Your companion is welcome within as well,” he said smiling at Atliss. Rongar bowed slightly in the Elava tradition of greeting and motioned for them to enter. Kalzussis made note of the of grey clad figures walking briskly with buckets down one hall.“Apologies for the commotion. There have been a number of problems with the Howler outside our gates as of late.” There came a shout from the hall Kal made note of. He could see Rongars almond cheeks flush. “Do pardon any distractions as best you can, we are currently in the process of clean up. Other wise your welcome would have been a proper Elav one.”Kal shook his head. He was never one for ceremony. “Im here to start my March tis all. A welcome is unnecessary.” he said“You could have gone any where to do that young Elav.” Rongar said “Are not all Lorn Marches started hear at The Sanctuary?” Kal asked.“Ah a misconception, at some point during your march you are to stop here to pay respects.” “Respects?” He asked a bit confusedRongar chuckled a bit, “They did mention you weren't exactly an Elav devout. Yes your respects to Eas-Azï that your passage and path be clear, where you step again you do so anew. Along thier travels many of the Elava happen to stop here often.”Kal nodded taking it in. He'd heard of plenty of his clan leave the glade to settle else where but he found it hard to believe they would settle in a city. They rounded a corner and down two flights of stairs before the floor plan opened up once again into another large courtyard. This one about half the size in length but what it lacked in length it made up for in depth. There were a full eight stories beneath him. He smiled at the massive Cimdel Iiappa,The Living Tree in the common tongue, the smell, like a taste of home.“That's a-” Kalzussis started.“An Iiappa,” Rongar finished, “that it is. As it grows members of your Clan and others like the followers of Itar. Come to prune it's branches. The wood is then used to fashion remedies and cure ailments. Your clan specifically is the only clan granted the privilege of fashioning weapons from this particular Tree. That is if she deems it so.”Kalzussis looked at Rongar with a raised eyebrow. “Is this where respects are paid as well?”“No, the altar is through that arch there. He pointed at the second floor.” He then pointed at the fourth floor. “Floors four through seven are lodging. Floor eight is kitchen and mess. The third floor is for those who have been accepted and only those who have been accepted.” Rongar said“Itano said he had no doubts about you. So you can relax.”Kal's smile faded, ‘Itano had been the one to write the letter?’ He thought He turned to Rongar holding his head a bit higher. “Direbone knows little about me. He may have raised me but he was no father.” Kal said.Rongar gave a gentle smile. The same kind of smile Old Man Worthy would give him when he would run out to his neck of the woods, that same patient knowing smile. “Yes,he said something to that effect. You have no need to be on guard here. Your march is your own young Elav.” Rongar said placing a hand on his shoulder.“When you've finished meet me in the upper courtyard. There is one other thing we ought to discuss. Or more accurately a request I have of you.”‘Right, of course that bastard wouldn't claim me.’ Kal nodded to shake the thought from his head. He gave a smile that didn't touch his eyes.He made his way down the stairs. He was met by two Elav sisters, they didn't speak but held their hands out stretched. Kal sighed, slowly disarming himself, he handed over his weapons and pack. As the sisters disappeared to put away his things. He stood in silence the sound of their feet echoed back to him. On either side of the arch way leading to the court yard was a basin. He knew the drill, and begrudgingly stripped to wash. The mud and dirt from travel dropped into the cracks and crevices of the stonework at his feet. Down the slope and to the basin of the Iiappa in the courtyard. As he finished there stood a sister silent as always. She held for him a simple brown Sarang and Iiappa oil. He wrapped the Sarang about his person and anointed himself from head to toe. Before heading to the chamber of Azï. The door was heavy, cut from an ancient Kest Tree. The polished pink amber in the middle of the door glowed with an inner fire. Inside was a small room, floor covered in Ash, in the center an altar made of intricately woven branches. Whether they were stone or live was hard to tell. Upon it sat a single burning flower, untouched by the heat it bloomed with the seasons. Kalzussis began his sacrament. Walking about the altar he sang and marched until the stone walls resonated and the ash danced and shook with the rhythm. He sang and marched until all he could feel was the heat, the flames of rebirth. He flopped on to the ground the single flower nearly a bonfire the ash covered nearly ever inch of him. After he took a second to calm his pounding heart he went to the altar. Place his hands in the fire and began to bathe in the flames. Licking away the oil, and sweat, the ash left him feeling invigorated as he left the small chamber. The sisters met him at the archway to the Iiappa. The one on his left gave him a small wooden knife."Is this to prune the tree?" He asked confused. Only to be met with silence as they stepped aside and beckoned him to proceed.In front of the Iiappa was a bench woven from its roots and flowers. Fairybugs lit the branches and leaves with a warm amber glow. Not knowing what to do next Kal sat down on the bench. The heaviness of the courtyard finally pressed upon him, the silence deafening. Just as it became overwhelming he heard her."Now, isn't that curious. You are no Elav." The voice cooed into his mind. He could feel the Iiappa pressing further and deeper into his skull. He pushed back to no avail."Now, child don't be stubborn. This goes easier if you aren't." The voice cooed again.He could feel its presence like vines slowly constricting his conscious. His vision blurred as pain seared through him."You are not Elav by blood, nor by choice it seems, but rather circumstance. You carry yourself with their self reliance but none of their joy. How curious a specimen. There is much you wish to prove." it said.The pain subsided and his vision clarified. "Will you grant me the strength to do so?" Kal asked."Power? Power is not what we grant. But for you we grant the closest thing to power.” From the top branches unfurled a gnarled cracked limb. Crystallized sap sparkled from the wounds."Take from me and find yourself the Ravens Slumber. The Master of the Hunt will fashion it into it's appropriate form."Kal took the wooden blade and touched it to the limb.“The Master of the Hunt?” He asked.Again, silence. That's what he hated most, the blind belief, the blind faith he needed to have. He cursed beneath his breath and started to carved into the limb.I think this is a great spot to end on. I was not expecting some of the rolls that came up at all. I was half expecting Kal to just get the option to fashion a new weapon but that goes to show you just how fickle the dice can be.But thanks again as always for being part of this journey.

Dr. Andrew Doust, the head of the Department of Plant Biology, Ecology and Evolution, discusses how people tend to misunderstand plants and overlook their importance. He also highlights some of their most interesting characteristics and might change the way you view them.

Want to become smarter? According to the latest research, you can. Contrary to what was previously believed, your IQ is not fixed. Most IQ tests attempt to measure two types of intelligence - crystallized and fluid. Crystallized intelligence relies on existing skills, knowledge and experience to solve problems by accessing information from long-term memory. Fluid intelligence, on the other hand, relies on the ability to understand relationships between various concepts to solve the problems. It is independent of any previous knowledge, skills or experience and accesses information from short-term memory or "working memory". Researchers have concluded that this part of intelligence can be improved. So how do you do this? That's what we're going to discuss today. When you engage in certain mental and physical activities, the size of your axons grows, the number of dendrites multiply and you increase the number of synapses inside your brain. When your mental and physical activities are limited, your axons shrink, reducing the number of dendrites and synapses. WHAT ACTIVITIES GROW AXONS, DENDRITES AND SYNAPSES? Reading to learn Auditory learning Visual learning Studying (Semantic Memory) Learning a new language Utilizing a new language through repetition or absorption in a new country Traveling – exploring different parts of the world and different cultures (Episodic Memory) Learning a new skill Novelty Daily exercise Engaging in athletic activities Practicing a skill, new or old, repetitively Creative pursuits such as writing, painting, music, engineering, building design, invention, etc. Increasing your communications with others (networking, volunteering, working, social interaction, etc.) WHAT SHRINKS AXONS, DENDRITES AND SYNAPSES? Absence of learning (no reading, no auditory learning and no visual learning) Loss of skills due to inactivity Isolation Being Homebound Being set in your ways – absence of novelty Not exercising No athletic activities Watching TV (exceptions: TV shows that teach) Reading Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. (exceptions: posts that teach) If you forge daily habits that increase the size of your axons, number of dendrites and the synapses inside your brain, your IQ will grow. Good habits, therefore, can grow your IQ throughout your entire life. Conversely, bad habits can cause your IQ to decrease during your lifetime.

In fact, they're shrinking.” – Tom Corley “The message today is your IQ is not fixed at birth, it's not related to your genetics, in fact, your habits, what you do regularly can either help you become smarter or less intelligent.” – Michael Yardney PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW Reviews are hugely important to me because they help new people discover this podcast.
