On today’s episode, we discuss the benefits of Tai Chi.
Highlights
1. While answering the question: What is Tai Chi? Is not always straightforward (it is a martial art, traditional Chinese medicine, etc.) – the positive benefits are clear.
2. Tai Chi calms your brain and relaxes your body.
3. The 7 brain abilities it impacts are: Perception, Attention, Memory, Self-Assessment, Language, Executive Function, Motor Coordination.
4. All 7 abilities are important for doctoral students, but especially Executive Function – the ability to make plans and execute them (and, or course, be nimble when life happens).
5. Once you learn Tai Chi, it takes only minutes a day to practice.
6. There are many different styles of Tai Chi; to find one that works for you, check out Clint’s website below.
