Muscles and Memory: The Brain-Boosting Benefits of Exercise Did you know that exercise not only sculpts your body but also sharpens your brain? Curious how? Read on. Exercise is more than just a way to stay physically fit; it’s a powerful tool for for building a healthier better brain! There is an extensive body of research indicating that exercise increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports neuron survival, growth, and differentiation. Often called "Miracle-Gro" for the brain, BDNF plays a critical role in brain plasticity, helping our brains adapt. Are you a walker or a runner? Studies show that aerobic activity, like walking or running, can increase the volume of the hippocampus—a region essential for memory formation and one of the first areas affected by Alzheimer’s disease. By boosting blood flow to the brain, exercise delivers more oxygen and essential nutrients, supporting brain cell growth, maintenance, and overall cognitive function. Lastly, another great benefit of movement is its impact on mood. Physical activity increases endorphin levels, the "feel-good" hormones that naturally lift mood and reduce cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone. When I was a teenager, I became fascinated by how quickly exercise could shift my mood. Ever since, exercise has been an integral part of my life. While there are days I don’t feel like going to the gym or even lacing up my sneakers to take my dog for a walk, I know that moving my body is one of the best ways to feel better— both physically and psychologically. As I often tell my best friend, an increase in even one endorphin is worth the effort! Exercise isn’t just about building muscles; it’s also about strengthening our mind, lifting our mood, and improving memory. So next time you’re debating a workout, remember that every step you take is an investment in a sharper, more resilient brain! Tomorrow, in week 4 of our FREE Brain Booster Challenge, hosted in association with Susan Williams of #BoomingEncore, we are going to chat about the magic of movement.

How to design your dream life in 2024. Take these steps: “Luxury is feeling unrushed. It is designing a life that allows you to do what you want with high leverage, with many options, all while feeling unrushed.” - Tim Ferriss The power of lifestyle design: • Intentional action • Unlocking your time • Finding what you enjoy Step 1: Build a Habit of Reflection Learn to become keenly in tune with how your body feels. What words describe your feelings right now? • Flowing? • At ease? • Confused? • Exhausted? Begin to track how you feel and analyze why you might feel that way. This builds a habit of constant reflection. You begin to understand: • What makes me feel good? bad? • What are the nuances of my good moods? my bad ones? When I started, I learned I was in a negative mood 70% of the time! That completely shocked me. Step 2: Assume Control Repeat this message: "I am the root cause of my feelings." You are the one in control of your actions. You're never powerless to change how you feel. Sounds easy, but it's the most difficult step. We hate assuming responsibility for how we feel. Hate your job? Who's forcing you to stay in the current one? Feel frustrated with friends? Who's stopping you from communicating? It may seem impossible. But taking small steps creates instant relief. You reassume control and learn that you can fix any problems that come up. Step 3: Create Your Ideal Future Write answers to these prompts: • What does your ideal 24-hour-day look like? • Do you prefer spontaneity or routine? • What kind of diet is important to you? • Where do friends and family play a role in your ideal life? More: • Do you want to experiment with philosophies like downshifting, slow living or minimalism? • Are you pursuing FIRE? • Do you want more hobbies/less? Which do you actually love? • Can you combine hobbies with work? • Where is your dream location? Get to a granular level: • What does waking up feel like on an ideal day? • What does working out feel like? • What does working my job feel like? Step 4: Take Action Synthesize all your answers to the past prompts. Instead of setting a written goal, create an image of your ideal future in your head. Whenever you need motivation, bring up that image to fill you with an unstoppable drive. Then begin to reverse-engineer your better lifestyle. • Make the purchases to improve your sleep stack • Create a group of regular gym-goers • Set up a budget to help you hit FIRE • Begin to incorporate mindfulness practices weekly, then daily Small steps, big goals. — Enjoy this? ♻️ Repost it to your network and follow Matt Gray for more.
