Letting Go On the Left, Brings Flow to the Right (Brain)

If you have ever taken an interest in how our left and right brains work together (or not), you may have gotten as far as taking a quiz on which part of your brain is dominant.  Here's my take on the situation, IMHO...

Left-brained dominant folks love to complete tasks.  Right-brain dominant folks love to create and feel from the heart.  Personally, I have always tested as about 50-50 left vs. right brain, so I am not dominant, but an equal combination of both (we can call it "brain ambidexterity").

I had an epiphany yesterday, after someone had told me to stop over-analyzing and start allowing the creation of what I desire.  (Drum roll...) I love completing tasks to constantly feed positive feelings into my personal fan club of one.  When I complete a task, I can be proud of myself.  It validates my self-worth.  "Wow, I really accomplished a lot today, YAY!"  That need, however, can become detrimental to right-brained creation.

It's not about completing tasks, each of us has to "wake up, you need to make money".  It is always about the personal motivation of doing what we do.  The emotion connected to my motivation was that whenever I thought I had done enough, there was a subconscious voice saying "really, Conni, you can't push through and do more?"  Which is fine, unless you do that all day, every day.

Our brains need time and space to "let go and create".  Our imagination, intuition and creative abilities need a window of opportunity to function.  If there is no space, that part of the brain can't do it's job.  Admittedly, there is controversy in this genre of brain dominance.  We can call it "theory", that's fine.

When I am actually able to "let go", I have some really cool ideas.  To me, that is the proof I need to believe in it.  After my epiphany, in my emotional healing mode, I released my obligation to complete tasks for the sake of completing tasks.  I felt an internal shift, which is the sign we look for when we are working on emotional healing.  Now, my fan club of one is less emotionally needy.  That's how we start to flow.

Have a great day!
