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?

EXERCISE nº2 - "Consciously and individual approximation to objects"

At any moment of the day, and specially during our daily "sensory walking" we can practice this exercise in order to connect better with the real world. This exercise is based on several "simple" steps:

1. While you were walking, follow with your look a comparatively distant object you will found on the road (i.e.: a tree, a car, a mailbox, ...). For a DR person, this action, apparently easy, is not simple. Ordinary people can do it unconsciously when they walk.
2. Observe how changes as you approximate to it. Look at it in 3 dimensions. Don't distract your look!. The key is watching.
3. Calculate how long takes for being able to touch it. Think of what would happen if YOU reach this object and push it. Is it very heavy? Could you lift it?, If you hit it hard, would you hurt yourself?, Are you taller than it?, If you jump, could you touch it?, If YOU sit down on it...what would happen?, and, If you crush it?
4. When you reach the object, touch it, go round it to watch it well, smell it,... feel it. Tap it, hit it, hear the sound, feel the texture when you run your fingers through it,...
5. What is the link between YOU and that object?, the color it has... Have you ever seen it at the past? When?, Have you seen other objects like this before?, do you like it?, would you like to stay one for you?, Where would you put it?, What would be the reaction of your family or friends?



IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS 

Your rational mind, not affected by DP/DR, will say to you that this exercise does not make any sense. In order for what you have to do that. It will say to you that you already see things ok when you are having a walk. But... Ignore it!, Don't be afraid to be ridiculous if you touch something or jump to know if you can touch a branch of a tree!

You must feel things and know again what happens when your body interacts with them.

Kids can do that continuously without think of anything else!

Points 1 to 4 of the exercise attack derealization problem and 5 serves to mitigate the depersonalization disorder you may be suffering
