Very helpful tips
This video was helpful! Thank you, Jim!
Thank you 🙏 someone that gets what I am saying wooooo

"Failure is not the opposite of success, it is part of success" I really like this quote of you.
"failing forwards"
Good quote, we need to remember it and do nothing with this information 😃
Me too, it's catchy
schools & parents: I'll pretend that i didn't see that.
Also is laziness part of diligence and creativity
1. Breath
2. Hydrate
3. Stand up and move
You are surely going to heaven dude. You helped people make life easier.
Can't believe people need a video to explain this to them
@@dewanrameez Thank you.
@@victorhardin2186 I know, nowadays people are so upset with their busy life without caring about their health.
4. Play with your balls.
No stupid music, only info in a well paced manner. ❤️
"Its not about perfection, its about progress"
Strong words as I always find myself focused on perfection only to realize i am lacking in progress
Today I set 12 alarms, one for each hour from 10am to 10pm. When the alarm sounded I had to rest for 10 minutes, doing nothing, mainly watching life go on from my window. You can't even imagine how healing it was. Tomorrow I'm doing again 100%.
I do this all the time it's just fun for some reason ✌️😁
I hope you're still going strong, 2 weeks later and beyond
@@official_alphabet_inc Thanks! I still have the alarms on, but now I only take the rest if I feel like I need it.
From time to time is good to force yourself to take all of them, but doing it everyday is kind of counterproductive if you don't feel like you need all of them.
Regardless of taking the rest or not, the alarms help me keep track of time, so I don't think I will turn them off any time soon :)
@@learninghistory4397 Well, the main thing is ingraining a good habit, and it seems you succeeded at that👌
Sounds like liturgy of the hours
The super brain yoga technique was actually a form of punishment given by school teachers to kids in India. Looks like they knew that this would improve the kids' brains :)
Yeah😅
LAMO true
Lol
What!?
And I bet because it was used as punishment when kids grew up they never used the technique to relax.
It happened to me and chores as punishment. I hate doing chores, they give me entirety. Because chores where used as punishment when I was growing up. It really sucks.
Hah! I learned to juggle in between classes and before exams at uni. I called it my “reset button” for my brain. Broke the overthinking cycles and let me enjoy time in deep flow. So refreshing! Kendama has had a similar effect as well! But hard to top juggling.
This is a feel good comment ❤
During my brain break I observe the trees- their shape , colour , how they move ,how the sun and wind play with leaves . This exercise is truly refreshing and makes me feel alive.
So wish I live in an area with trees, but I have view to the mountains so that's a win too.
I read somewhere to live life as if when you things allow it to surprise you as if it was the first time even though you seen it thousands of times before.
So what you are doing in your brain breaks is called mindfulness! 😊 Its a very great technique one can learn ! (I know it from my time in a psych ward as a form of therapy )
Just taking time and be mindful about something of your choosing,just as you described. Its grounding, refreshing and healing in a way bc it gives you the opportunity to just BE and refocus and recenter your thoughts,brain and nervous system as its also very calming and relaxing.
Keep on doing it ! ❤
Looking out my window at the trees right now. The sun is hitting them and reflecting light and a slight breeze is hitting them. It looks like confetti dazzling
Summary: Take a break from focusing every 25-30 minutes.
During break do three things to regain clarity:
1. Breathe
2. Hydrate
3. Move / juggle
How to juggle:
Imagine a box in front of you. Throw the balls/socks up to the corners and catch with the other hand. Key is to relax so you're not all tensed up and shift your focus peripherally so you have room to see what's going on.
It's not about perfection, it's about progress. Failure is part of success, not the opposite of success.
Super brain yoga: Touch each earlobe with the contralateral hands to give them a massage, and at the same time squat down.
Tip: Make movement a part of your hour, not just three times a week. Keep the blood circulating.
School sure helps with that.
thanks!
I try to do that at work but somebody(supervisor) doesn’t like me to take more than 30mins break..albeit that I’m not even a fresh grad that’s working for the first time..😑. Like cmon it’s unreasonable since my job is consist of me using a software for designing, staring at the monitor for hours.
I don't fvcking understand step 3
@@Way2go926 Quit.
I love how the language seems to be adapted to this whole process. No voice that is trying to sell you something, trying to get emotions out of you or overly trying to express themself. Just very clean wording that gets the time it needs.
But i got an add during the video and that's where I saw the difference. They were selling something, shouting, fast talking... It hurt my brain for resl
@@cryinsquirrel I actually just got that and my ears hurt for a second-
@@cryinsquirrel turn on an Addblock, bro, and no ads will hurt your brain.
I immediately mute and put the phone away when an ad appears. They're really disruptive and my tolerance for them is basically 0
Edit: it gave me an idea though, to turn the disruptive ads to my advantage to simply put the phone away as soon as there's an ad.
I wager I could waste less time watching videos that way
That's the first thing i noticed, how calm it is...
Wow. As a perfectionist who is starting her business while trying to stay a high performer at work while keeping my house in order, while trying to make my friends happy… I really needed to hear that it’s ok to drop the ball. Sometimes the guilt is so strong. I really really needed someone to give me permission to just be myself. It’s ok and it’s enough. For that, I love you to the moon and back. I mean it. You’re awesome. Take care.
You'll have to drop 1 thing fron your list to succeed. I was there
Well im not 100% sure I agree. If you can get into deep focus for hours then you should do it for insane productivity. Its called flow state and it can be quite incredible. You forget everything else while you are in it, and having a break can ruin it. So if you need break, take it. But if you dont need it and you are in flow state, keep going. Not everyone can do it, but if you can its a gift.
Depends on the task, I guess
*PRO TIP: Small Open Plastic Grocery Bags. Most novices can master juggling within 15 minutes when learning with small plastic grocery bags because they literally fly through the air in what looks like "slow-motion". I trained many people over the years & start them with 3 small open plastic bags & after 5 minutes transition them to rolled up socks, then balls & on average within 15 minutes they never forget.*
*PLASTIC BAGS: True, some communities stopped using them & went back to paper bags or reusable bags/sacks but no, I am not referring to tiny sandwich bags nor am I referring to department store bags so big they can fit an entire men's suit, because the grocery bags I'm referring to actually can open up enough to catch air so that once you throw them up in the air by one of their handles they float back down which provides a significant amount of time to react juggling 3 bags, but are not so big that throwing 3 at a time becomes impossible. The handles are simply manufactured holes at the top of the bag on both sides, the handles are NOT separate attachments. Do your best to continue to catch them again by the handle in order to keep the bag open. Ultimately test out different types & sizes of plastic bags to find out what works for you.*
*JUGGLING MORE THAN 3: Increase your air time (hang time) with each throw. Search UA-cam for "Juggle 5 balls" or 6 or 10 or etc. Ultimately you'll notice that the more balls a juggler can juggle the higher in the air each ball must be thrown. Obviously this provides the juggler with more time to react. So practice holding & throwing more balls with each hand higher & higher, then add another ball. If you continue to increase the number of balls (10, 12, 14, etc) consider upgrading the type of balls you use from tennis balls to hacky sacks or professional juggling balls which are easier to grip. And then practice, practice, practice. I wish you success.*
*Excellent video. I can never repay Jim for changing my life so dramatically in such a short period of time. I continue to become LIMITLESS by becoming the Better Man in Me at least 1% Daily!*
Just to be clear, you’re not referring to sandwich bags, right? You mean the traditional, larger supermarket bags?
holy shit man! i have been trying to learn juggling with oranges with no success for the past two weeks
@@MrDAZ3197 *Correct. Plastic "grocery" bags.

I can juggle 3 and 4 balls, but how can I quickly learn to juggle 5? It seemed to me that learning how to juggle 5 balls is far more difficult than learning how to juggle 3 or 4; it seems to be in a separate category of difficulty. Any tips?

How did you literally describe my exact journey with juggling? I learned about a year ago. My jaw dropped when you started on the metaphor when you drop a ball, I thought about that every time i was practicing. That, and having real proof that I could learn something new still. Incredible feelings brought on by something so seemingly silly lol.

Wow. So awesome knowing that I do a lot of what Jim describes in this video. I started moving as much as I can while at work, going outside for random sunlight, drinking water like a fish, breathing and Ive never felt better in 42 years. Thanks Jim!!
Thank you for your very calm and natural presentation. You are one of the rare people on UA-cam who doesn't turn every subject into neurotic shows.
Another learning that was beneficial to the brain Thank you!
I practice the 20/20/20 rule for my brain break. I saw this rule on Instagram where, for every 20 minutes of work, take a break and look away for something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. By looking at the distance, we give our brain time to relax and reset. helps us to be more alert, focused, and productive.
That is primarily for your eye muscles I believe but what you describe is most likely a common side effect
I keep a ukulele by my desk and sing a song or two. I feel energized by the music, my breath, and the strumming! It's best when I play the song from memory.
Your teaching on movement, the tetra union of brain, heart, breath, and body, has inspired me to make a playlist of songs that put me in a good mood. Taking 3 min to flail around is exactly what I need.
UA-cam is redeemed by content like your's.
I love this video so much. As someone who's never seriously juggled before, juggling proved to be just the break my mind needed and increased my focus in studying. Highly recommend 👌
Randomly started this while eating. Didn't realised how desperately I needed a video like this
Damn.. exactly what I was going to say 🤝🏽

Training the lateral sling as movement prep for more demanding exercises has been great for me. After glute and lateral sling activation, working on a compound exercise, focusing on form and speed help improve the mind body connection when also being mindful of form and flow. Always clears my head. And of course some cardio / conditioning before and it after help with getting things firing, and warmed up pre training, and recovery post training.
I've been juggling for years now, I just love the fun of it. Even one ball is great if you try to do some fun tricks like throwing behind the back and it's great for coordination and body awerness. I didn't realize it could help the brain that much so I'll keep doing. And dancing is the same, I love it. Even though I practice meditation and deep breathing, I realized that intentional moving (with body control in mind) was much more beneficial in trying to calm down and focus.
Dude, I've been juggling since I was a little kid. I literally just picked it back up again today after a couple year break, and now I randomly came across this video talking about the benefits of it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I’ve been waiting for someone to explain the importance of juggling. It has changed my life forever
My brain break is usually going for a walk: 3 minutes of laps in the house, or a choosing from one of the many "loops" outside the house or office--these are pre-timed 10 - 60 minutes routes. Loved the video and the juggling lesson--removes the pressure, so I'll be able to learn it this time :)
I've had the Pomodoro Smart Timer app on my phone for ages, and only just tried using it after watching your video. I never really knew what to do during my breaks, and you gave me a practical, feasible guideline to follow. I gotta say, I got my work done so much more quickly and I feel much more energized afterwards as a result. Thanks, Jim!
as someone who is always afraid of making mistakes-this is something I really needed to hear. I was always afraid of not meeting my teachers' expectation, I felt relieved after watching this.
I love immediately upon opening the video being hit with the really relaxed and slow presentation. It really emphasizes the idea of letting your brain relax, and it was a cool rhetorical thing to see.
I love how you take your time to explain concepts clearly.
Also, if you wouldn't have told me about 3 times to really get up and juggle, I probably would have stayed laying and would've put this video on a "should try someday" list.
But instead, I tried all the methods introduced in this video and had instant results of mental relief. I love the practicality of this video!
Walking has changed my life. Something interesting always happens, it is time to engage the grateful flow, and I have struck up conversations with people that would have otherwise never happened.
This is the first video that didn’t feel like it only works for the neurotypical brain. There were a lot of tips i got from this and my brain is far from typical, so thank you.
You're the first person who reminded me of my high school art teacher.
He sounded so random and nearly seemed to jump from one thing to another, often ending up in nonsense.
BUT then he'd pull out a word, a concept and everything would be so clear and almost obvious.
Thank you so much, saving this precious video! 😀💖
It’s really interesting because I suffered a brain injury in a car accident years ago and my therapist actually had me doing techniques like cross-laterals and juggling. Definitely does something!
I never thought I would have learned how to juggle from a brain coach. Even just for that, you are the most useful mental health consultant I have ever come across in my life. Thanks for the informations shared in this video.
Saw this on the internet somewhere: If you fail never give up because F.A.I.L means First Attempt In Learning. Thanks for your little training session. I am reading your book now. I want to become a Motion Designer. And it is really tough. Hopefully I can translate some of your teachings to get where i want to become. Great content!!
Today I learned the basics of juggling. And to be more conscious about giving my brain a breather. Kudos!
I don't really have a brain break method since I usually keep going until I'm forced to stop out of habit. I'm incorporating more walks in my day, deep breathing, or simple light exercises. The advice presented here has been eye opening and I'm glad I took a break to watch this and to finally learn to juggle. 😊
My best notes (8-10) in the school, when I studied in the night time and very early another day. After exams my headache was terrible, with blood in my nose. Thanks!
I was part of a seminar and did not enjoy most of it, but it did introduce me to Jim, and I would certainly sit through the eight hours again for him. What a gift.
I would never imagine watching Jim to learn how to juggle, but it's so calming and great listening to him😅. Amazing teacher 🙏🏻
So so important. I love this

I picked up juggling recently as my little brain break because I thought it would be good for my hands, good to know that its good for your brain as well! I also found that throwing a ball against a wall with both my dominant and non dominant hand had a similar effect.
For the last 12 years or better, I found myself throwing a ball between 2 opposing walls in my bedroom. I would go back and forth, mixing up my throws, left/right hand, ceiling - wall - floor - hand, floor - wall - ceiling - hand. Sometimes fast, mostly finding a nice pace. I never really understood why it worked for me, but it did. Thanks for explaining one of my quirks.
My favorite brain break is going for a short walk. Sometimes that looks like simply walking out the front door and taking a stroll around our court with my dog for 5-10 minutes. It’s a small amount of time but gives my brain and eyes a rest. Something about fresh air and looking at the beautiful colors in nature that refreshes my mind 😊
Jim kwik is probably one of the best names I’ve ever heard
No other words else to say but THANK YOU for this short and useful video. As a busy postgraduate student who stays indoors 24/7, I tend to forget to take care of my health, I rarely exercise which makes me more lethargic than ever, sleepless nights etc. Simple body movements REALLY HELPS, so THANK YOU for this!!!
I don't know why but I felt so happy listening to the quality of your explanation sir, the content and the Communicator are both really amazing, keep the great work 👍👍
It s all about removing every single source of distraction. I like what i see. Love this talk. The brain is like a sponge, it absorbs. Stand guard of your brains. Love you all. Lucky to be lef here. Tanks Jim
Till I watch this video, my brain break was to head to new tab open youtube and watch some video from my feed. But now I am gonna change it and do some physical moment brain break, which will help to my brain to circulate more blood into it.
I will start with juggling and some basic exercises.
Thanks Jim, got perfect resolution from you.
Juggling has been an Incredible brain break for me! At first I didn’t think I would get it but kept working at it. Felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere stopped for a few months then came back and finally got it😎
Love the video, thank you so much for pointing out that the most necessary thing is to move frequently after each 25-30 mins. Will do it and remove my bad habit of sitting nonstop for hours.
I keep seeing this video recommended to my feed. but I just scroll off and skip it. Now, I finally gave in and realized my mistake. Its not a clickbait and learned a lot from this video to better my mind. Thank you very much
What I like to do when I've been sitting down too much is stretch my lower back and my hamstrings. That and become more aware of HOW I'm sitting down. I'm definitely adding some of your excercises to the mix. Had an absolute blast trying them out.
My breaks are usually either taking care of basic needs like drinking some water or having a snack or getting up and doing 2-3 minutes worth of cleaning. Seems like nothing but it helps keep my place clean a lot. And it gets me moving and looking at a longer distance and rest my eyes a bit
Little bits of cleaning are a great break idea, thanks!
this guy made ,me feel a sense of calm I've never felt before
While listening to your podcast. Did some juggling along with you as I am able to do so. Then promptly finished a crossword I had been stuck on most of the evening! Amazing!!
my brain break is hydrate with more water (because my habit is to be caffeinated whenever I work) and put on my dance playlist. sometimes I go high impact dancing to get the stress messy yarn untangled (esp after exam crunch or hefty work day), some other time I go low impact and just use the music to help me feel energized again. i'll add juggling to my brain break list, thank you :D
I’m a teacher and I’ve been teaching my students these principles from day one.
One thing that I think has unintentionally given me better focus is physical labor while listening to a podcast. So the passive expending of my energy while listening has helped me absorb a wealth of information. Having my senses being active has made it easier to recall things as well.
Thank you Jim for making this video public. It's particularly helpful for relieving stress and helping us focus on something new, allowing us to regain energy for our remaining work. The juggling is truly amazing. I hope that anyone who watches this video receives blessings from the Universe. God bless you, Jim; you are an incredible person
10:00 Other forms of cross laterals can include alternate-nostril breathing (both the pranayama where you actually close nostrils with your fingers/thumb as well as the mental version done by focusing on flow of air into one nostril and out the other), rotation of consciousness body scans, EFT tapping, EMDR-related exercises, and modified progressive muscle relaxation exercises.
I've been a juggler for about 15 years and I can attest to the benefits. In recent years I use short walks outside in between coding where I use my standing desk as much as possible.
Do you enjoy coding? I’m trying to get into coding myself

@@ceeeceee8753 Stupid comment not gonna lie, as a software developer myself, You have to dive into it yourself and be consistent to see if you like it
@@Cfuzion Yes, you wrote a stupid comment, indeed. Read my previous reply.
I love these tools, I will be chunking and juggling from now on, I have adhd and keep 3 fidget balls on my desk drawer for when I'm loosing it - I do take breathing breaks where I pay attention to my body but you suggesting to just move and juggle is awesome and perfect for me, I needed this
I like to sing . It is so freeing a wonderful way to relax.
Someone else had posted a youtube video about how relaxing happens through vibrations in the back of your neck.
When I sing I love the inspirational part of singing the Psalms because this also gives me the emotional benefit of life's experiences being worked out with real world experiance.
Maybe itis joy or sadness disappointment or lonliness.
Then you think about hopeful things
I have no idea why this video was recommended to me, but I am incredibly thankful
Excellent video, thank you so much for the great advice!
Thank you coach Jim, fdr continue sharing your knowledge, God bless, you are the best!
I do a few of the things suggested, even juggled on occasion, but now I see it in a new light. This is really great stuff. Thanks😻
i really like everything you said.. before i watched the vidoe i was stressed and not in the mood but after watching your video specially the juggling part, I started having a good mood and think about life differently when you said it is ok to fail and that failure is part of success.. you made my day man.. later i will have a good mood when i go to our alumni home coming 3 hrs from now.. good job and thank you from Philippines
I study with drum and bass so I think is great the ballroom dance, thank you for this because I am learning in deep programming and I got sick of my body for staying sit and not making pauses. God bless you!
Little by little, it becomes KWIKLY BIG. Thanks you Jim
I just today realized that how important it is to rest our brain, last night I pulled an all nighter because I had my finals today and I swear to God I had read every single ducking thing, but my brain refused to work, like shut, I couldn't remember any formulas nothing at all.
Damn did you still succeed?
@@CannabisAufklaerung yeah i managed to pass😭😭
dude I should've watched your video when I see it I've been seeing this a lot for years and after learnign about juggling I realized how stressed I am about being perfect. Thank you!
This is so well presented even for my adhd brain, also you make alot of sense phylosophically AND scientifically, THANK YOU.
Amazing amazing video Jim, thank you so much. Greatly appreciate it 🙏
Thank you A LOT 🙌! I was really struggling with my studies and my short fuse. Your explanation and techniques really helped me to handle the anger and frustration in the moment.
This is such an important and underdiscussed topic, glad there's videos about it. Bless ya Jim
I do the same thing with yoyos, rubix cubes, and butterfly knives. I do pomodoros and on the break stand up and a do something tactile. Amazing for productivity and sense of well-being. Great packaging to an ode to juggling and a fun tutorial btw
Loved the reason to breath hydrate move and just let your mind wander review etc. Is it create more moments of primacy and decency to aid in memory learning. Brilliant. I feel facing our emotions can often be a reason we don’t take those long walks so learn to do that. I had some abandonment trauma in work and relationships that fused meaning together in my head and yup I’ve been self sabatoging and finding things that confirm my thinking.
Thank you for this. I've been going on one hour nature walks every day -- no audio book, no music, no podcast - just resting my brain. Gonna try the juggling thing soon, as well as adult coloring lol.
I'm glad i met you today 😊 i have had the urge to "move" for a long time. I started walking 20 min daily. Now I'll try juggling. Thank you
Great video! I've never had a problem focusing, especially when I'm writing. It takes me a little while to settle in to the "Flow", but once I'm in, man, I can sit and write for hours, not a problem. But I realize too much sitting is a problem. I'm a morning person. Awake between 0430 - 0500. Work out for an hour Mon-Fri, then at my desk by 0600-0630. So I'm getting a daily dose of movement. What I'll do is augment the morning routine with a complementary set of exercises every 40 - 50 mins. This video gave me some more ideas on what to do during those breaks. It's disruptive to interrupt the "Flow", but I generally need to get up and get coffee (n e e d c o f f e e ...), so I use those times to move...
Mr.Jim I would truly appreciate it if you make a video explaining the types of concentration (cuz out of experience I deeply believe it has many types not just one) and how to sharpen each of them . your help in this would mean the world to a lot of people including me ... cheers brain coach you're the best !
Great point ! I too would like to learn different ways to concentrate.
Thanks, you took this question right out of my mouth.
It will also benefit me.
Yes we also want to know this.
Meditation helps you focus.
What exactly are these different types of concentration...?
I am so into the juggling!! I did it with a lemon and a dryer ball. So fun. Thanks for the video!
Wow, Jim Thank you very much. It's nice to have this info. I Learned that any small activity is beneficial when you are managing depression..eventually it lifts and you are living well most of tge time, but fir me the body It is always being IN my body and doing physical things most of my day.
My break activities :
1.Drink Structured water
2.Juggling with 2 balls
3.Squad ( brain yoga )
4.breathing imaging you are at the beach ..
Yes maam
I never really knew what to do in those five minute breaks. Great video! Subscribed immediately.
Love the video, thank you. I found this online Pomodoro timer. Will test it today. I have hand weights at desk that I use during breaks. I started doing lateral squats w/wgts last week. Love the idea of the juggling. That is a must-try challenge for me. Thank you again (so much). Always looking forward [to your vids].
Wasn't expecting a literal juggling lesson in this.
Must give this a try.
Thanks!
I’d like to say this was a wonderful video. Just now I was all over the place in my head and I decided to participate in the exercise’s in this video and they really helped calm my mind and relax. Def gonna give an update in about a week. Much love ❤
what's the update>? :D
Since my health is improving I can actually go on walks and I started a few days ago after watching your video. I plug some audiobook into my ears, throw my legs out the front door and walk a nice round around the fields behind my house (about 4km) can't tell if I feel better but I'm a bit more alert after my walk.
I usually do walks for organizing my thoughts when I get stuck whilst working on music or any various project I am douin'. This video wvas extremely helpful though for finding simple ways to get the brain tuh chill out whence I am sitting and writing music for long periods of time, so thaynks very much for making it sir Kwik.
My brain break has usually been to move, even if I'm sitting. In settings where I'm expected to be still, that can be exercises with my fingers and toes, changing my sitting position repeatedly and including stretching, or moving my torso with small movements.
When I'm on my own or with people I know, I've usually changed tasks frequently, which often includes changing spaces. This is also helpful for my learning, because when I return to the learning task, there has to be a mental recap to continue.
I always drink a lot when learning.Where I now live, I've been told only people who are overwhelmed do this. Where I come from this was encouraged and supported. It helps me tremendously.
Now that I've watched this, I want to add the deep breathing and input my dance more often as well as be more courageous about bigger movements in classes etc.
Thank you so much for the confirmation, for spreading this valuable info, and for what I just learned.
Thank you for the dance!
I do 60-90 minutes of deep work at once. After that I usually like to go outside, do calisthenics or meditate. From time to time I might take a nap too if I feel really tired.
Yeah this is the correct way to do it, this video was just full of shit and filler content lmao
I'm considering shuffling during my breaks! Moves the body, crosses the midline and is fun to do!
Thank you for sharing your juggling technique and the positive tips for moving forward.
Love your talks on improving your learning skills. 😎
I learned to juggle in less than an hour by watching your video. Thank you, now its time to try to learn how to learn ❤
Great content, really helpful. Thanks Jim❤
Thank u so much for this.
I did the breathing, moving AND had a cup of water in the middle of this.
It HELPS.
My movement for break is dancing to a Kpop song im into at that moment.
Or just vibing to jazz music.
Anything dance related.
Thank you Jim.
