Key takeaways

Holding your device at eye level supports happier brain chemicals & reduces sadness linked to looking down
Time spent looking down at phones closely matches rising rates of depression & anxiety, especially in teens
Where you move your eyes activates different brain areas—looking up sparks creativity, down triggers sadness
Moving your eyes through certain positions acts like a workout for your mind, boosting different aspects of IQ
Simple movements like spinning in a chair stimulate your brain’s processing speed, attention, & working memory
Open peripheral vision improves mood, awareness, & reduces conflict in relationships & daily life
Physical & emotional injuries show up the same way in brain scans & block certain mental functions
Even just a few minutes of the right brain exercises daily create lasting improvements in focus & cognitive ability
Children’s instinct to spin, run, & use their vision in different ways helps their brains develop properly
Walking labyrinths or figure eights balances brain hemispheres, inspires new ideas, & solves tough problems
