Educating the Right Brain
Sunday, June 6th, 2010
Efforts to empower the intellectual or the right brain that I feel is becoming increasingly important. Whether it’s for the benefit of our everyday lives, as well as business activities. Only, how should the way we educated the right brain that? Well, practice what we need to do?
I think, should we be doing the following things. First, we should be more like an activity or hobby in the open. For example: swimming, fishing, biking, walking, running, camping, or hiking. This activity can be educated the right brain. Second, train yourself to think strange things, and like the humor. Thus, we will more easily find creative ideas.
Third, activate the ability of our unconscious. Simple exercises such as who we can do ie: at the moment we receive a lesson, in a state of eyes closed, or listening to the radio with her eyes closed but not asleep.
Fourth, can pass religious approaches, such as my own experience, that doing dhikr in the heart. Dhikr in the liver can be done anytime and anywhere. Dhikr it will make something happen. Meanwhile, a sharp instuisi will show something is happening. Another way is to perform night prayer, or tahajud, and pray for guidance or istikharah. Fasting can also educated the right brain.
Based on experience in entrepreneurship training, I many times tried to test indicators of interest in the brain at the trainee. Apparently they are generally more left-brain dominant. That’s because since entered elementary school to college, which dicerdaskan only the left brain.
In this context, if we want to educating the right brain, the left brain more intelligent automatic. Conversely if the dicerdaskan left brain, right brain does not automatically add smart. Because, right brain associated with the emergence of new ideas, passion and emotion.
Meanwhile, the left brain is associated with things that are logical, linear, and rational. However, that does not mean the role of the left brain ignored. Left brain, I think it remains important. Indeed, there are times when an entrepreneur must be able to balance the utilization of the right brain and left brain.
Therefore, as an entrepreneur, then we must continue to try educating the right brain, in addition useful to sharpen our intuition, also will enhance our creativity. We are more confident, and optimistic to win the business competition.
I think not only this. We will more so be patient and steadfast in every face many trials of life and business. We would feel more comfortable with things we do, and not impossible to rate the success of our business will increase.
