THINKING IN A RIGHT-HEMISPHERE WAY! - An small TIP to improve

Everyday we use our keyboard (PC, laptop, notebook,..) to navigate through the Internet, checking our inbox, meet friends on facebook, work with our spreadsheet, word or pdf document, etc...

So it is a very common situation. Watch this picture... What can you see?

 

The left hemisphere just notices that a toy is on the keyboard

EXERCISE: You must try to notice other aspects of your keyboard as your right-side mind would do:

1. The shape and colour of every key and the accumulated dust around them.
2. Watch you finger pressing every key. Press them very slowly. What do you feel?. Hear the sound hitting the keys. Is it similar to others you have used before?
3. Do you like the colours of the little plane?
4. Touch the plastic recovering the screen of the laptop.
5. Make a copy of the keyboard on a sheet of paper. As precise as you can draw it. Draw every detail. The letters and signs of each key must be place properly.
6. Play a little with the plane, landing on the keyboard. Do you like it? The screen could be a great barrier to pass over.
7. Use and watch your LEFT HAND!! (it is driven by your right hemisphere!!)
8. Type very slowly watching your fingers hitting the keys.
9. Notice your fingers moving from one side to the other of the keyboard to press the keys.
10. Summarizing: Feel your laptop as a physical object!

CAN YOU DO IT?

Video 03 - Doing exercise 4.2 - Synchronize your senses: Vision, Hearing and Touch

Hi! :-)

Let's practice Exercise N4.2. , we must re-synchronize our main senses: vision, hearing and touch. Our hands must interact with objects and pay attention to the sounds they produce.

PAY ATTENTION TO PHYSICAL THINGS!!

We can achieve the same effect by playing physically with toys or dolls.

EXERCISE No15 - "PLAYING again with toys"

One of the activities that helped our brain to mature and grow healthy was PLAYING with TOYS. Playing with toys was very important in our childhood and we must practice  again if we wish to return to a normal state:

1. Find a toy (little car, plane, doll, ...) from your childhood or a current one very similar to those which you had before. If you have children, you can borrow one from them or mounting a new one from an egg kinder that always contains small and manageable toys.
2. Take it, look at it, feel its weight, its colors and looks MOVE IT WITH YOUR HAND as children usually play. If it is a doll , feel it on the couch, pick it up hair simulates moving ... If you are a little car as well, move it, park it, simulates going down the street on your desk, at home or at your office.
   
3. Do not be ashamed of it, it is ABSOLUTELY necessary for communicate properly both brain hemispheres between each other and recover some of the lost sensitivity. It's part of your therapy to overcome this.
   
4. When you are absorbed in your work or your studies, keep that toy close to you, look at it frequently, and play a little with him, and make the effort to FEEL the same as felt before when you played with him years ago.
