It is very important for a woman to be successful at work and keep order at home, to look after children. At the end of the day, after hard work come home, and your head is just splitting from fatigue. How to cope with everything, not forget about anything and be on top?
Our brain requires constant training just like our body in order to be in shape. After all, he has the ability to atrophy.
It is no secret that the brain has the right and left hemisphere. Each of them is responsible for certain functions of the body and different types thinking. To begin with, let's figure out how to determine which hemisphere of the brain is more developed.
I suggest taking a few tests:
- Place your palms together as if you are about to pray. Then soak them in the castle. See which thumb is on top? Ate right, then your left hemisphere dominates. And, accordingly, vice versa;
- Fold your arms across your chest, crossing them. Which one is on top of the other? If left, then you are a right-brained person;
- Imagine that you are in the theater, after the end of the performance you thank the actors and the director for the excellent production with applause. Clap your hands. Draw conclusions by tracing which of the hands was on top;
- Touch your ear. Fingers, which hand did you do it with?
After passing several tests, you were able to determine what type of personality you belong to - the right hemisphere or the left hemisphere.
Each of the hemispheres are responsible for completely different skills and capabilities. Therefore, for each of them you need to use certain training approaches. With their help, you can even decide what you like to do more and in what professional direction to move.
How to develop the right hemisphere of the brain
This part of the brain processes non-verbal information, that which is expressed in symbols or images. With its help, we fantasize and dream, navigate in space. The right hemisphere helps to look at any situation in general and with different parties. Right hemisphere people creative personalities. Often they become musicians, artists, writers, artists.
The main component of self-development is to load your head with work. In the case of the right hemisphere, pay attention to creativity.
Here are some exercises to help you:
- Go to exhibitions art galleries, museums. Try writing a poem or an essay. Imagine yourself in the role of Picasso, draw pictures or just abstractions, show everything that comes to mind on paper;
- It has been scientifically proven that the left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for the body movements of the right side of the body, and the right - for the left. AT Everyday life engage the left side of your body. If you are right-handed, write with your left hand, carry your bag on your left shoulder, and hold the mouse with your left hand at the computer. Make these movements automatic as soon as possible;
- Get into visualization. With your eyes closed, take a comfortable position and imagine your name written on paper. Dream up with the colors of ink and paper, with what letters it is written. Then try to feel your name. What is it for you? Soft or rough, sweet or bitter, blue or red? Experiment with the sound, hear that someone is calling you, whose voice is it? Also with music.
With the help of these tips, you will have a productive and developed right hemisphere. At the weekend, pay attention to yourself and your family, go to the pottery with them. Clay vases will be an interesting decor in the apartment and a pleasant memory of a fun time.
How to develop the left hemisphere of the brain
This part takes responsibility for the perception and processing of verbal information. With its help, a person remembers names, some facts, dates, sequence of events and how they will look on paper. The left hemisphere governs our speech, reading or writing abilities. Depending on the degree of its development, the level of analytical thinking, mathematical abilities is determined.
Thanks to this hemisphere, a person can develop logic and analysis. In other words, he puts things in order in his head, putting all events on the shelves, confirms all guesses with facts. People who belong to the left hemisphere type become scientists, mathematicians, analysts and leaders in any projects.
Some exercises will help develop the abilities of this part of the brain:
- Play chess, solve crosswords and puzzles, solve problems, learn poetry. During
some work, cleaning or cooking, for example, organize a game in association with a person who is nearby. Entertainment will bring benefit and pleasure to all participants in the conversation. These exercises develop the brain and memory as best as possible; - Come up with at least four scenarios for the development of events in a given situation. Let even forgotten at home folders legs will appear, and she will come running to help you;
- Walk on fresh air. Scientists have proven that even 20 minutes a day in the air increase brain performance by 60%. Even better, if you walk, you will count how many attractive men met along the way;
- Keep a diary. Describe your work day, while trying to remember some little things (for example, numbers or symbols) and put everything in a logical sequence.
Like it or not, but the two hemispheres are one. And the better they work with each other, the more effective your work will be.
Some exercises can help maximize interaction between the hemispheres:
- Draw shapes at the same time in mirror image. Take two pencils and draw shapes using both hands. It can be a heart, a square, a star;
- Grasp the nose with one hand and the opposite ear with the other, make a clap and change the position of the hands;
- With your right hand, make circular movements on the stomach, and with your left hand, pat on the head. Change hands and continue the exercise.
By doing such exercises in the company of friends, you will not only benefit from working on yourself, but also prolong your life with laughter.
How to develop your brain to the maximum
Read a lot, everything and everywhere. The book is not only the main source of information, but also an excellent simulator for enriching vocabulary.
With regular reading of the literature, results will appear fairly quickly. Within a month, you will notice how memory and speech literacy improves.
Learn foreign languages. Do you have a favorite country that you would like to visit?
A good incentive for self-development. Learn the language and reward yourself with travel, it will not only good vacation, but it will also help you learn a lot of new things.
Go in for sports. California scientists have proven that with regular exercise, brain performance increases. An experiment was carried out on mice. Those who ran every day on a spinning wheel found twice as many cells in the area responsible for memory and learning.
Take the magazine or newspaper that is nearby. Turn over and start reading. The symbols you see will seem unfamiliar to the brain.
Load yourself with as much information as possible. Always take the most difficult work to do. Especially if she's intelligent. At first it will be difficult, but over time, a habit is developed for loads, like muscles for weights, and they become the norm. As a result, you will raise your capabilities to a new level.
The main thing in how to develop the brain is to systematically do exercises. And they will make you an excellent worker, the most the best mom and just an amazing woman.
Everyone is used to the fact that it is necessary to develop memory, attention, intellect, improve your body. But for some reason, at the same time, few people pay attention to the brain itself, on which the development of all this in most cases depends. Even the body will not develop and improve if before that the brain is not properly tuned in and does not think about how to start working on the body.
It is well known that the brain consists of two parts: left and right. For some, the left side functions better, for some, the right, and for the happiest, both. Win, of course, the latter, using their wealth to the maximum.
The left hemisphere thinks logically. The right one helps to create something new, to generate ideas, to integrate. However, you can be a mathematician with a well-developed left hemisphere and still come up with nothing new. And you can be a creator and pour ideas left and right and not implement any of them because of the inconsistency and illogicality of your actions. Such people are common. And they lack only one thing: work on improving their brain, bringing it into a harmonious state.
Psychophysiologists have long developed a system of exercises to harmonize the hemispheres of the brain. Good in this respect for musicians, for example, pianists. im with early childhood instill a harmonious perception of the environment. After all, the most important tool for the development of the brain is the hands. Acting with two hands, a person develops both hemispheres.
So, let's move on to the exercises.
Many of them are well known to us since childhood.
1. "Ear-nose".
With the left hand we take the tip of the nose, and with the right hand - the opposite ear, i.e. left. Release your ear and nose at the same time, clap your hands, change the position of your hands "exactly the opposite." I tried it, it was better when I was a kid.
2. "Mirror drawing".
Put a blank sheet of paper on the table, take a pencil. Draw simultaneously with both hands mirror-symmetrical drawings, letters. When doing this exercise, you should feel the relaxation of the eyes and hands, because the simultaneous work of both hemispheres improves the efficiency of the whole brain.
3. "Ring".
We alternately and very quickly go through the fingers, connecting the index, middle, ring, little fingers into a ring with the thumb. First, you can use each hand separately, then simultaneously with both hands.
Now let's look at physical education lessons. No wonder we were forced to do exercises in which it was necessary to reach with the left hand right leg and vice versa. After all, they also develop our hemispheres, and help them work in harmony.
The next workout helps relieve emotional stress, improves performance, develops attention, thinking and interhemispheric connections. The exercise is challenging yet interesting.
"Ambulance"
I explain the procedure. Before you lies a piece of paper with the letters of the alphabet, almost all of them. The letters L, P or V are written under each letter. The upper letter is pronounced, and the lower one indicates the movement of the hands. L - the left hand rises to the left side, P - the right hand rises to right side, B - both hands go up. Everything is very simple, if it were not so difficult to do all this at the same time. The exercise is performed in sequence from the first letter to the last, then from the last letter to the first. The following is written on the sheet.
This is how you can develop your precious brain for your own benefit. Train for health and have fun! And most importantly, feel the difference between your former self and your trained self!
Coordinate the work of the hemispheres of the brain.
This simple practice allows you to revive one hemisphere that is tired of monotonous work and connect the non-working hemisphere to it. To do this, you need A4 paper, on which you horizontally, along the ruler, draw two lines crosswise with a marker, like the letter X laid on its side. Hang this sheet at eye level so that it is convenient for you to look at it. Then you can not take it off, let it hang and remind you of the need to take care of yourself.
Looking at this sheet, breathing calmly and deeply, you do just two simple exercises, known from physical education lessons:
Touch your left elbow to your right knee, then your right elbow to your left knee, preferably with your back straight. Such cross movements must be done six times, only 12. You can do and count.
Touch your left elbow to your left knee, then your right elbow to your right knee, preferably with your back straight. Such parallel movements must also be done six times.
Again 12 cross movements;
Another 12 parallel movements;
And the last 12 cross movements.
All this will take you no more than 1.5 minutes, and you will immediately feel the effect in a noticeably refreshed head.
In fact, the exercise is used to correct the left and right hemisphere children. It is taken from Applied Kinesiology - modern science about the body and is based on observation of infants. If the baby has not passed the crawling stage, he may have problems in the joint work of the hemispheres, which means that he will not use his potential by working with only half of the brain. We will apply this knowledge in a preventive way to restore the coordinated work of the brain.
Consciousness.
Here is a special program that has been developed over the years in seminars. Both athletes and people who connected their lives with meditation took part in this.
The exercises are called Consciousness Training. At first glance, they will not be pleasant. With their help, you realize how easy it is to get into a difficult situation. life situation and how difficult it is to find a way out of this and be reborn again. Consciousness training is, first of all, a complex exercise, as well as mobility in every sense.
The American therapist Jean Houston found that during the training of consciousness, the IQ increases significantly. Obviously, exercise leads to the formation of new nerve cells. A large number of of these cells leads to an increase in the capabilities of the intellect.
Such exercises are ideal for fulfilling the requirements of any complexity and the coordinated work of both hemispheres of the brain. They also increase our concentration. The program promotes the development of coordination between the brain and the body (coordinated work of the brain and parts of the body). By engaging the left hemisphere, it never occurs to us to engage the right, which would be useful in many situations. Exercise helps to coordinate the work of body parts.
This type of gymnastics can be enjoyable in the future and is more effective than it seems at first glance. Alya start with simple exercises, severe can cause pain.
Stroking the Belly and tapping on the top of the head
The first part of the exercises involves stroking the abdomen with the right hand in a clockwise direction. After that, tap the top of the head with your left palm, with the goal of light slaps to increase mental capacity. Pay attention to the fact that the movements are straight from top to bottom and vice versa.
The third step will be decisive: a combination of both movements. At the same time, pay attention so as not to confuse the movements by mistake: rotate the abdomen with your right hand, and move it from top to bottom with your left.
After you get used to these movements, you can change hands. Such exercises are good for developing coordination.
Describing circles
This exercise can be performed both sitting and standing, but it is better to start by standing up. Lean on first left leg in order not to lose balance. Then start with your right foot to draw circles on the floor in a clockwise direction. If this works out, then you can proceed to the next exercise. Describe with your right hand circular movements parallel to the floor, but already counterclockwise. After that, go to the third task: do both exercises at the same time. Right foot - clockwise, and right hand - counterclockwise. This can be confusing, but therein lies the challenge of getting both hemispheres working at the same time.
Since the left hemisphere is more developed in women, and the right hemisphere in men, respectively, the body is divided into two parts: that above the waist is the male pole, below the waist is the female. This division is conditional, but it corresponds to the prototypes of Taiji, signs where black Yin dots lie on a white male Yang field, and vice versa, on a black Yin field there are white Yang dots. Accordingly, the right "female" hemisphere is responsible for the right "male" part of the body, and the left "male" hemisphere of the brain is responsible for the left "female" part of the body.
The more you manage to combine exercises in this way, the easier it will be to harmonize our lives, and also to combine masculine leadership traits with passive ones. feminine qualities based on feelings.
After mastering these exercises, you can change the direction of training.
Change the load completely and start training the left side of the body. You will immediately feel how far the training of the right side has progressed. And between the two parts there is an exchange of experience.
A good physical condition has a positive effect on our state of mind because everything in the body is closely interconnected. The microcosm of our organism and the macrocosm of the world and the entire Universe interact.
click clack
Now you can begin to perform complex coordination exercises. Stand up straight and lift up right hand. This position is called a click Now, after describing a semicircle, lower your hand down, this final position is called a clack.
Then, repeat the same with the left hand. And again, the position with the hand raised up is designated as a click. Now, describing a semicircle, lower your hand 90 ° to a horizontal position. Alya on the left side of the body is the klak position. The next movement, hand down, is again called a click. Thus, three changes of position are provided for the left side: upper and lower - click, and in the middle - clack. Coordinating the work of both parts of the body in the same click-clack-clack-clack-clack-clack rhythm will not be easy at first. Start the exercises at a slow pace, then the movements will automatically enter the desired rhythm. Despite the seeming impossibility of performing, this is a very simple exercise. The result will be unexpected and stunning
After spending a few minutes doing the exercise, you will get a striking effect. I recommend exercising before important events where coordination is especially important. For example, before a long bike ride, they are just as relevant as the subsequent stretching, which, by tensing the contracting muscles, brings them back into shape.
Exercises are useful before important meetings and during emotional experiences in order to coordinate your work.
Plane version with triangle and circle
Unlike the previous exercises, which required a lot of space to perform, a small space is enough for the airplane version. While the left hand draws a triangle in the air, the right draws a circle. It's amazing how many contours you can't take away until the clear outlines of what you need appear. These exercises can be changed, not only hands, but also drawings: quadrangles - a pentagon, a rhombus - a square, lying and standing octahedrons, in this case, fantasy has no limits.
The point of exercise is to challenge yourself and win. To do this means to destroy the old way of life, overcome all fears and pave the way to a new life.
Our victory, which brings improved coordination, flexibility and increased intelligence, lies in the ability to cope with a task that we find difficult to cope with. Conversely, well-memorized light exercises do not benefit.
Over time, you will be able to change and combine many exercises, come up with new ones. So, for example, it is possible to combine running and consciousness training - on a treadmill or in the fresh air. Naturally, the result will be higher if the click-clack exercise is performed while jogging in the forest.
Creativity is one of the forms of intelligence, which not only helps to solve the problems that have arisen, but also to approach them creatively, with imagination.
Whatever you do, memory training, attention development or other practices, sooner or later you will come to the conclusion that all problems with health, memory, energy, fate, karma, relationships, etc. have their roots on several levels at once - physical, psychological and mental. Many practices, exercises and medicine help only temporarily, because. do not work with the causes of general imbalance, memory impairment, poor health. There is a technique that works not only with the root causes and roots of all problems, but also works at all levels. You can read more about the technique in this article .One of the main structural features human brain- the presence of two hemispheres: left and right. Both have their own specific functions, but they are strongly related to each other. The full development of the personality is impossible without the correct work of everyone. How does a child's brain develop? Which hemisphere is dominant in a child? And what can not be done when teaching a baby?
Functions of the left and right hemisphere
The functions of the left and right hemispheres are different. Scientific research showed that the left is responsible for abstract- logical thinking , and the right one for spatial-figurative.
The problem is that modern society“Sharpened” for people whose left hemisphere is dominant. Remember the times when left-handers were forcibly retrained in schools, forcing them to write with their right hand. For a child's psyche, this can have devastating consequences, ranging from enuresis and stuttering, ending with depression and nervous disorders.
Lefty or righty?
From birth, the child is more active right hemisphere of the brain. With the development of speech and other skills, that is, at the age of about two years, the left hemisphere is increasingly included in the work. And then, if parents begin to notice that the baby still performs the main actions with his left hand (eats, takes objects), they can sound the alarm. Should not be doing that.
Firstly, the final child will be determined not earlier than 4-5 years. Secondly, according to statistics, in the world 10-15% left-handed, 85-90% right-handed and a very small percentage of ambidexters, that is, those who are good with both hands. Therefore, the likelihood that your child is left-handed is not so great, especially if you do not have those in the family.
However, if this is the case, just keep in mind that the baby will have more developed right-brain qualities, and in addition, he may need some dexterity in everyday life, where everything is adapted for right-handers.
Early Childhood Education
The main principle in children is to do no harm. This means that it is necessary to provide the child with opportunities to develop harmoniously, according to age and according to own initiative. In training, do not focus on skills that are characteristic of only one hemisphere. This means that you do not need to go in cycles, for example, in learning letters, reading and counting!
The basis should be physical development baby. Only after he has learned to use his body will he be ready for intellectual work. Add here emotional, creative, fantasy beginning- and you will get a comprehensively developed personality.
Test yourself
If your child is still too young to identify his dominant brain hemisphere, you can test yourself. Take a look at the picture. In which direction is the girl spinning?
If you see movement in a clockwise direction, then your left hemisphere of the brain is working more actively now. If counterclockwise, then - the right hemisphere.
Constant mental stress is the path to health and longevity. Moreover, it is desirable exercise both hemispheres brain.
Right-handers have an active left hemisphere, which controls the right half of the body. Lefties, on the other hand, have the right hemisphere. In addition to controlling human motor skills, each of the hemispheres is responsible for different types of thinking. Left - for abstract-logical(analytical, mathematical) thinking, right - for spatial-figurative(creative, intuitive).
This asymmetry affects the work of the sense organs. A person has an eye and an ear that dominate, even half of the nose or tongue can have different sensitivity. Right-handed people have more taste buds on the left side of the tongue and are more receptive to taste stimuli than the right side. Leading in such people is also the left half of the nose.
Cause reduction in the number of left-handers it is considered to be a gradual activation of the role of the left hemisphere. At ancient man the right hemisphere was more active, which is characterized by flair, intuition, figurative memory, sense of rhythm, sounds, smells, touches, good orientation in space. With the advent of civilization, many of the above human properties remained unclaimed. They began to displace more desired functions left hemisphere, which controls the right hand: concrete thinking, language, writing, mathematical and analytical abilities.
Do lefties need to be retrained? Not so long ago, in many schools, such children were retrained to write with their right hand. Going against nature, interfering with the activity of the brain, is very dangerous. This not only traumatizes the child's psyche, but can lead to such unfortunate consequences as pronunciation difficulties, stuttering, dislike of reading, delay in the development of drawing skills, etc. There are studies that prove that if you return to your nature and start writing and doing everything with your left hand, then the acquired diseases disappear, and a person becomes able to realize himself creatively.
In addition to right-handers and left-handers, there are ambidexters who are equally proficient with both hands, which is the result of synchronous work of the cerebral hemispheres. Ambidexterity is extremely rare. It is believed that a person can be taught it and that the synchronous work of the hemispheres of the brain means greater success: mental and cognitive processes such people go more easily and efficiently.
For the normal operation of all our internal organs and systems, it is necessary balance the work of the left and right hemispheres brain. How to achieve this?
Develop the functions of the less active hemisphere can be done with simple exercises. If you're right-handed, do all your daily chores with your left hand: hold your fork, brush your teeth, brush your hair, and learn to write. At first, ordinary actions will be difficult for you, and the right hand will seize the initiative. But gradually the skills will improve, which will positively affect your abilities in general. Including left hand into work, you will activate the work of the right hemisphere and, accordingly, its creative functions.
Exercises to enhance the interaction of the two hemispheres:
1) Grasp the tip of the nose with one hand, the opposite ear with the other. Quickly change hands.
2) With two hands at the same time draw a square, a flower, letters, as if the hands “mirror” each other.
3) Clench the hand of one hand into a fist, make a wave with the fingers of the other. Repeat 10 times and switch tasks for the hands.
4) Touch the heel of the left leg with the right hand, put the left hand on the shoulder. Change as quickly as possible.

Everyone considers it important to train their memory and intellect, to do something to improve the body. But only a few pay attention to brain training, and it is precisely from the brain that the change in all of the above depends. After all, the body will not change if the brain is not ready for it!
The brain is formed from two hemispheres responsible for completely different functions. Some people have a more developed left hemisphere, others have a right hemisphere, and there are some lucky people who both work well. Such people can really be called lucky, because they can make the most of all the natural possibilities of their brain.
The left hemisphere is responsible for logical thinking, while the right hemisphere is responsible for creative thinking. But then there are mathematicians whose left hemisphere functions perfectly, but who were never able to come up with anything unique.
And there are "creators" who give out a lot of ideas, but can not realize any of them, all their actions are inconsistent and illogical. And all these people need to improve their own brain, tune it to a harmonious and coordinated functioning - only then they will be able to achieve something in this life.
How to make the work of both hemispheres of the brain coordinated and harmonious?
Psychophysiologists were able to form a whole range of exercises that contribute to the harmonious work of both hemispheres of the human brain. And the main tool for increasing brain activity are hands. When a person works with both hands, both hemispheres of his brain develop evenly.
What are these exercises? Most of them we have known for a long time.
1. "Ear-nose". With your right hand you need to hold your left ear, and with your left hand you need to hold on to the tip of your nose. Hands must be removed at the same time, clap your hands, and then change the position of the hands to the opposite.
2. "Mirror drawing".On clean slate you need to use both hands at the same time to draw pictures that mirror each other. At the same time, the eyes and hands should relax, because when both hemispheres work at once, the efficiency of the brain as a whole increases significantly.
3. "Ring". We go through the fingers in turn, forming a ring of thumb and index, then middle, ring and little fingers. To begin with, you can do this exercise in turn with your left and right hands, then with both hands at once.
4. Exercise with school lessons . For example, this: reach with your left hand to the knee of your right leg and vice versa.
NLP techniques to help coordinate the work of both hemispheres of the brain
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) will help to make the brain function more efficiently, and its hemispheres to act in concert. There is a special NLP technique called " Ambulance"- it contributes to the removal mental stress and fatigue, increase efficiency, improve memory and attention.
Exercise "Ambulance" although difficult, but very interesting. Actions are like this.
Written on paper most of letters of the alphabet, and under each of them the letters L, P or V are indicated. The upper letter must be pronounced, and at the direction of the lower letter, move your hands: L - you need to raise your left hand, P - respectively, your right hand, B - you need to raise both hands at once . It would seem that it is very easy, however, speaking and raising your hands at the same time is not so easy. You need to do the exercise from the first letter to the last, then in the reverse order.
