Exercise and the Brain
In writing my new book Physio for your Emotions, I have a couple of questions about how exercise affects our brain function, with Dr John Ratey.
Dr Ratey is an associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and has a private practice in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
For more than a decade he taught residents and Harvard medical students as the Assistant Director of Resident training at Massachusetts Mental Health Center. He continues to teach psychiatrists as a regular instructor in Harvard’s Continuing Medical Education program.
In Dr Ratey's latest book Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, he looks at a landmark study, where aerobic exercise was shown to be as effective as antidepressants. That women who exercise, lower their chances of developing dementia by 50 percent. That a revolutionary fitness program helped put one U.S. school district of 19,000 kids first in the world in science. That, in fact, exercise sparks new brain-cell growth. The evidence is in: aerobic exercise physically transforms our brains for peak performance.
Check out Dr Ratey's blog and his recent article on how exercise helps people learn.

The Moment I Cease to Hate
“At certain moments, always unforseen, I become happy
I look at the strangers near as if I had known them all my life
Everything fills me with affection
It may be an hour before the mood passes, but lately
I seem to understand that I enter upon it .... the moment I cease to hate”
William Butler Yeats

Insane - Friedrich Nietzsche
And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." — Friedrich Nietzsche
I Can - Kiran Bir Seth
Kiran Bir Seth, talks about the 'I Can mind set'. She is an absolute leading light in enabling kids and adults to understand that they have the ability to effect change at any level.
At a time when pressure and stress seem to be touching everyone it's important to take a few minutes to lift yourself up and remind yourself that;
I Can, You Can, We Can!
Enjoy!

excerpt from 'Self Reliance' by Ralf Waldo Emerson
These are the voices, which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world. Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of everyone of its members. Society is a joint stock company, in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and the culture of the eater. The virtue in most request is conformity.
Self Reliance is it’s aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs.
Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness.
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
