How to Train The Right Brain


     Different illustration between left and right brain can be seen from two different professions, i.e. employee and entrepreneur. Employee is a profession that relies more on the detail technical skill, comfortable in the safe zone, need to focus, not really like a change and challenge. Different with entrepreneur that always dynamic with a change, less in mastering the technical things, not really focus on detail things. Employee is an interpretation of left brain, whereas entrepreneur is an interpretation of right brain.

So, HOW TO TRAIN THE RIGHT BRAIN?
  •  Hone Our Creativity   
     This can be applied by doing an activity that show the creative side like writing, creating poetry, drawing, designing clothes, photography and other activities that need creativity. Those activities are food for right brain because need the fresh ideas and an ability to explore self-actualization. With always honing our creativity, automatically our right brain is also honed.

  • Do The Liked-Thing or Hobby
      Do things we like or our hobby is a very practical way to train our right brain. Insensibly when we do our hobby, then there is no boredom in ourselves. We will be happy and voluntarily to do it although there are so many challenge and even the cost. Hobby is so potential in training the right brain because it's very closely related to creativity. The examples of hobby that can hone the right brain: climbing up mountain, fishing, jogging, etc. 

  • Humorist
      We can see around us, people who always be cheerful are people who like humor and joking. Sometimes when we are feeling bored or facing a challenge that hard enough, to keep our spirit, humor is an outlet for people who have a strong right brain. A fresh joking and humor can make us relax for a while from the tiring routinity. Different than the left brain that often complain when facing a problem, humor is the right brain's intelligent way to release a boredom and keep spirit in life.

  • Music
      Music is beautiful and full of art. Music becomes actualization in expressing feelings that hard to be expressed in words and can only be expressed by song lyrics. People with a strong right brain really like to enjoy the beauty of music. Music is a food of right brain, of course it's a music that always full of spirit and brilliant ideas, not a music with mellow lyrics that really heartbreaking.
