Brain Training

Our brains don’t stop growing until we are 25 years old. It is so important to feed and support growing brains to function optimally. One of the ways we can support that is through strengthening the individual hemispheres of the brain. Our left brain is responsible for speech, comprehension, mathematics and writing. It is the logical part of our brain. The right brain is responsible for creativity, intuition, emotional regulation, attention, memory, and problem solving. It’s the more visual and emotional side of the brain. 

When we identify which side of the brain is dominant, we can make a conscious decision to work on things you struggle with. If you are stronger in your logical thinking, engage in some creative activities, dancing, singing. If you are dominant in the right side, activities such as chess, crossword puzzles, sudoku will help. We are literally exercising our brain to get better at these activities. 

Which side of your brain do you think is your dominant?
