Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence in my life

The Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence, in my opinion, is the one intelligence I’m using more often than others. Since I woke up, I use this intelligence every time I move. As an athlete I practice my Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence every time I play soccer or swim. I also use this intelligence in my daily routine. Everything from my morning shaves to drive my car. I’m driven by those famous people like David Beckham or Bruce Lee and others. They inspire me to see what I can do with the bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence. The Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence is a huge part of my life it effects all of my being. I like play soccer. I start to play this game, since I was ten years old. After I and my father went to a premier league in Spain to see the final game of Arsenal and Manchester United. There I have seen David Beckham. I was amused. His technique was so perfect and accurate. He kicked the ball and made a pass in a carefully planned trajectory. His every moving was excellent. After that, I fell in love into soccer. However when I just start play soccer I was so disappointed I over kicked a ball and had a limited control of the game. I never thought that I would play like older players. But, after years of exercises and practice soccer become a part of me. My food automatically can hit the ball in a trajectory required to get the ball to do what I want. Therefore, I think that the Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence change with age and experience. I’ve also learned to apply on another intelligence while I was playing soccer. Likewise, I use the interpersonal skills when I play with my teammates. We have our own language gestures. Especially, it is very useful when we’re playing with a team which speaks our native language. So we can communicate without words just using our hands, fingers, legs, head to show a teammate away he would hit the ball. The logical-mathematical intelligence shows how to maneuver the ball on the field how much time I need to get the ball to my teammate or to the gate and so on. Furthermore, I’m using the linguistic intelligence when I communicate with my teammates in a way that’s different than other social interactions. As well I have mentioned that every person of our team has a special intelligence. Someone has a best speed. Second one has a best coordination. Third one can see a trajectory on step further than others. Pursuant to combining those intelligences together we make our best on the field. In conclusion, I would say that the soccer as a game a good example of the Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence. Although I apply these learned intelligence when I am swimming. Like soccer, I start to swim in my childhood and still exercise every free time. By using those skills I learned on the field and in the pool. I can apply them to every move activity of my life. Indeed my Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence I use every time I do my daily routines. When I do shaving, I do it automatically. Now, I’m not captivated by the mirror and cutting myself. Driving cams more natural and it less required concentration. When I cook pancakes they land in the pan and not on top of the stove when I flip them. However, all those things I do without big concentration on them. Especially I like to feel my Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence after I spend few hours on a field playing soccer or at the pool swimming. After these exercises, I can easily and without big concentration I would say almost automatically do all my daily routines. Even though I feel every movement so deeply like never before. I don’t think I realize how much my Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence affects my daily life. And how much time I can save to do something else. Moreover, I want to mention that I’m inspired by musters of Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence like David Beckham, Bruce Lee, Michael Jordan, Jim Carrey or lake Harry Houdini. Those people apply Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence in different ways in their field. Alternatively otherwise they can make few careers using their Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. Besides, Michael Jordan, he was good in several kinds of sports. He played basketball as well as baseball. In both he was on the pick of career. In 1999, Michael Jordan was named the greatest North America athlete of the year by ESPN. Furthermore, I want to mention a performer Harry Houdini with his famous magic career and also a movie career. One time he was the highest paid performer in American vaudeville with his headline act. David Beckham one of the most sought after players in soccer. Thus I think that their achievements motivate other athletes to become more successful in their endeavors. Even today new records are being broken with each new Olympic game or play off event. Each person possesses a certain level of The Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence. In fact, we can see the Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence in emotional intelligence. We know our emotions through the intelligence of the body. It tells us about our feelings. In other words, our Body Kinesthetic Intelligence allows us to express feeling through our bodies. As well, we can see the Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence in advertising. Advertising researchers, as a fact, have measured certain physical changes caused in viewers of commercials. For example, changes in pulse rate, blood pressure or galvanic skin response. Advertisements are created with the body experience in mind. Have you thought about those things like testes of food and the colors or the emotion and action of movies and so on? In summary, I want to say that every person more or less used his Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence. In conclusion, it has to be clear that using our Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence helps us to navigate our physical word. It makes our world real. And I would say that it is integrated in all other intelligences.
