Maybe you want to learn how to fix your vehicle, use some software program or ride a horse? Now you've got another good reason to learn the new skill. Teach a new skill to someone else One of the best ways to extend your learning is to teach another person a talent. You need to practice it after you have learned a new skill. This needs you to explain the concept to someone else, and correct any mistakes you make. Learn to swing a golf club for example and then show a friend the moves. Place the base of your other hand over the first. Give several upward thrusts. Open the mouth to check to see if the object has been dislodged and can be removed using your fingers. Repeat the process until the object is forced out or the victim is breathing. WHAT TO DO FOR A CHOKING INFANT OR TODDLER Lay the child facedown on your forearm with his head in your hand. Using the heel of your other hand, give five back slaps between his shoulder blades. Check his mouth to see if the object has been dislodged. If it's still stuck and he's not breathing, turn the child onto his back. Using two fingers, give five chest compressions in the middle of his chest.

I was never worried about my level of investment because every time I reached out to someone, either my confidence shot up, my results improved, my income increased, or my reputation grew. Level Up is about taking steps towards excellence. It's about the progress that you make, and hiring a coach is one of the best ways to take your coaching to the next level. Develop a coaching eye When I observe any coach at work, I look for one specific thing: the coaching eye. Do you have the ability to watch your clients as they perform exercises and see what's going on? There are coaches who simply help their clients to have a workout and that's all they focus on, and then there are coaches who are constantly looking for ways to help their clients improve throughout each coaching session. Throughout a training session, a coach who has a keen coaching eye is looking at multiple things at once. They're not just looking at how hard their client is training; A coach with a keen coaching eye is someone who has progression, results and professional delivery firmly on their mind at all times . When clients have a negative reaction as you're setting Action Plans, first positively reinforce them for letting you know. Then specify the problem and establish its meaning to the client. Next, intervene (or if there's insufficient time, mark the problem for intervention at the next session). In an early session, ELSIE and I have just finished discussing an Action Plan. I notice that she is looking more distressed. PAULINE: ELSIE, are you feeling a little more upset now? What was just going through your mind? ELSIE: I don't know . I'm not sure this therapy is for me. PAULINE: You don't think it'll help?

Listen to or play music Want an easy way to boost your imaginative brain power? The solution may be to turn a music on. Listening to positive melodies allows to create more innovative solutions, relative to being in silence, according to a 2017 report. That suggests, cranking up some feel-good music will help boost your creativity and creative thinking. And if you want to learn how to play music, now is a great time to start, because at any point in your life, your brain is able to learn new things. That's why you're never too old to start playing a keyboard, guitar or even percussion instrument. Take a new route When it comes to your everyday tasks don't get stuck in a rut. Instead, be prepared to try out new ways of doing the same things. Check his mouth to see if the object has been dislodged. Repeat five back slaps and five chest compressions until the object is forced out or the child is breathing. DROWNING NEVER LOOKS LIKE IT DOES IN THE MOVIES Yelling for help and frantically waving for a lifeguard's attention makes for a good Hollywood movie but in real life, drowning is a quiet event. Here are seven signs a swimmer is in trouble: The swimmer is unable to call for help. The swimmer can not wave for help. His arms are usually at his side and pushing down in an attempt to get his head out of the water. The swimmer's head is low in the water and his mouth is at water level or his head is tilted back and his mouth is open. The swimmer's eyes are glassy, unfocused and sometimes closed.

A coach who isn't constantly looking out for change is a coach who isn't interested in progress. I always want to know why something is the case, and when I don't know why I go in search of the answer. Every single time I've received an answer to a why, my clients have progressed, my results have improved and so has my business. There are five foundational pillars that I am always looking for when I'm coaching someone: posture, stability, execution, strength and effort. These will give you a road map as you develop your coaching eye. Posture: At the start of your personal training career, you will have learned about posture . However, I see coaches allowing their clients to perform exercises with terrible posture (rounded shoulders and overarching the lumbar spine, for example). If you see poor posture, you need to correct it . Stability: Are your clients strong enough to be performing unstable exercises? Do they have enough stability ? ELSIE: No, not really. You see, I've got real-life problems. It's not just my thinking. PAULINE: I'm glad you told me. This gives me the opportunity to say that I do believe that you have real-life problems. I didn't mean to imply that you don't. The problems with your mother and your sister and your feelings of loneliness . Of course, those are all real problems, problems we'll work together to solve. I don't think that all we need to do is look at your thoughts. I'm sorry if I gave you that impression.

Choose a different route to get to work every week or try another mode of transportation, such as walking or using public transportation instead of driving. A simple change will help your brain and you might be surprised at how easy it is to change your thinking. Meditation on a daily basis will relax the body, ease your breathing and reduce stress and anxiety. But did you know it can also help to fine-tune your memory and improve the ability of your brain to process information? Find a quiet spot, close your eyes and meditate for five minutes each day. Learn a new language A 2012 literature study showed unanimously the many cognitive advantages of being able to speak more than one language. Bilingualism can lead to better memory, enhanced visual-spatial skills and higher levels of creativity, according to numerous studies. Also being fluent in more than one language will help you transition between different tasks more quickly, and delay the onset of mental decline due to ageing. The good news is that reaping the benefits of learning a new language is never too late. The swimmer's hair may over his eyes or forehead.
