Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

If golf for you is more than the good walk spoiled Mark Twain dubbed it to be … you’ll be happy to know you can get much more from your brain to help your game…. Not that my game is always an event to brag about, or that I find as much time as I’d like to hit the links, but whenever I do get out and get going… I live for that easy swing that sails my ball on or near the greens.
    My love for golf made me especially interested in the notion that memories are stored by the brain into peptide molecules, and distributed throughout the body. This gets memory of your last good swing into your next winning shot… The actual locations of these molecules of memory may be less important to your game, though, than the fact that you can depend on mental know-how for a decent swing on a good day. Does that thought not free you up to take in aromas from apple trees that line a golf course, or to hear lyrics from birds telling each other about their day?
     Keep in mind that all memory is a living process, and not a fixed or singular skill. It’s also key to note that there are no singular locations for all memories. Harvard's Howard Gardner points out and biology generally supports however, that each separate intelligence holds memory of its own.

Most researchers also affirm the physical evidence of memory is stored as neurons move along specific pathways. Ok, what does this say to your golf game or mine…? 
     You use and develop what Howard Gardner identified as your bodily-kinesthetic intelligence whenever you play golf – and that intelligence actually stores up memories within your swing. The brain uses adrenalines you generate as a memory locker… so for example, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine forms long term memory from the golf games you play…. Now if that does not entice you out to the links, help you to relax and enjoy your game, and switch on that inner voice that shouts, “I can nail this … I don’t know what will. Let your brain do more of the swing from parts of the body where it stores winning memories to improve your game… while you allow the time out on the links to make your day! Not sure about you…but I’m heading out for another shot at that hole in one!
