Just Doing It!

The right brain is the “doing it” center of the brain. One way to get more in touch with the right brain is to cut the left brain out of activities by doing them for no reason—not for money, not to improve oneself, but simply for the sake of doing them. The left-brain ego thinks in terms of cause and effect, and in order for an action to be worth taking, it must have a positive outcome, but this can complicate the actual doing of the tasks. Doing for its own purpose seems to almost always be connected with right-brain activities from poetry to art to music.

Once a day, do something for no reason at all. As one cannot plan to be spontaneous no matter what your left brain tells you, allow for moments of opportunity to arise. If at some point you feel like getting up and taking a walk, do so—not because you want the fresh air or because work is boring but because you had the inclination and now are acting upon it “for no reason.”
