If You Dare Vlog Teaser

Are you in right or left brain mode?


I was blog-hopping and I saw the post of mommamuse and it is very interesting. Emman and I saw the picture going clockwise, we are in Right Brain mode. My sister Gem saw it going counter-clockwise, she is in Left Brain mode.

Depending on how you view this animation, if you see her turning clockwise then at this moment your right brain is in full swing. Conversely if she is going counter clockwise, you are in a left-brain mode. Now see if you can change modes and have her go the opposite direction. It is doable. If you find it difficult, come back to this image at another time and notice which direction she revolves.

Here is the run down, so you can in what ways your mind is functioning at the moment:

Here is the run down, so you can know where you are:

Left Brain

  • Concepts
  • uses logic
  • detail oriented
  • facts rule
  • words and language
  • present and past
  • math and science
  • can comprehend
  • knowing
  • acknowledges
  • order/pattern perception
  • knows object name
  • reality based
  • forms strategies
  • practical
  • safe


Right Brain Concepts

  • uses feeling
  • “big picture” oriented
  • imagination rules
  • symbols and images
  • present and future
  • philosophy & religion
  • can “get it” (i.e. meaning)
  • believes
  • appreciates
  • spatial perception
  • knows object function
  • fantasy based
  • presents possibilities
  • impetuous
  • risk taking

I swear I saw clockwise and I don't know how other people can change modes. My sis, Gem can. Hmmmm...

Glad you are enjoying this! I think the key to changing modes can be as simple as just relaxing your mind (like meditating or not really thinking of anything specifically -just very relaxed) then you may notice the direction will change when you think of doing something like scrolling down on your blog or going onto a different task.

Sincerely,
