The Right Brain and Left Brain,
Odd Couple or Complementary Pair?

The right brain and left brain usually specialize in different tasks, to the point where one becomes dominant for a given activity. The classic distinction is:

Left
Right
The Critic
The Performer
o Logic
o Words
o Lists
o Number
o Sequence
o Linearity
o Analysis
o Gestalt (whole picture)
o Spatial Awareness
o Color, Dimension
o Physical movement
o Imagination
o Rhythm
o Creative

An important issue is chunking. The natural tendency of logic and analysis taken to the extreme is to differentiate and distinguish to the point of splitting hairs. Alternatively, to take in the whole picture, or Gestalt, requires pulling back more and more until we are all one.

When two ideas come in conflict, it is a good idea to start thinking about adjusting their chunk size.

To chunk up ask "What is this an example of?" or "Why is this important?" or "What purpose does this serve?"

To chunk down ask "What is an example of this?" or "What specifically...?"

Adjusting the chunk size of an issue being considered can clarify a problem to the point where a solution almost presents itself. In this way, the two hemispheres provide complimentary skills, like two opposing muscles that straighten and flex a joint.

What does this have to do with weight loss?

Plenty! The way we think of our goals and the way we think of ourselves makes a statement about how close or far apart the two are. The distance that separates us from our goals includes a judgment that we imagine.

If that judgment has been working against you--so your goals seem distant and unattainable, like an uphill struggle--then it is time to turn that judgment around and put it to work for you. You can find the tools to do that at Manhattan Hypnosis. As Henry Ford said:

If you think you can do a thing or think
you can't do a thing, you're right.
