Hello.
First off, I would like to preface this post by sharing a bit about some of the issues I am dealing with currently. I briefly shared some details in relation to these issues in some earlier posts, and it was pointed out to me by another member that this is happening because of left-brain imbalance.
Essentially, I spend most of my waking hours building castles in the air and constructing grand theories about how I am going to go about implementing my ideas without actually implementing them in the present moment or at least in the very near future. I have been doing this for YEARS! And it's gone on like this for so long that I am unable to stop thinking this way. For the past couple of months, I had a few days here and there where I sort of "woke up" and consciously took action in a consistent manner on my aims for a considerable amount of time, but the veil returned and I went back to sleep. During those moments, I understood what "conscious suffering" and "doing what 'it' doesn't like" meant, but gradually, the mechanical habits return.
I shared this issue on another thread (this one), and it was pointed out by T.C. that this habit has something to do with dominance of left brain thinking. I also remember reading in the Wave series (I can't remember which volume) some of the characteristics of right brain thinking, which included present moment awareness amongst other things (I'm looking for that passage in the book by the way. If anyone can find it for me, would be much appreciated). The traits of right brain thinking that was listed in the book were different from what you usually find on the internet in relation to right brain thinking which usually includes creativity, spontaneity, intuition, etc. I'm sure these things are part of it somehow, but I think it's a bit more complicated than that.
I know the ideal is probably a good balance of both left and right brain thinking, but I am interested in accessing right brain thought specifically, so that I may understand it's characteristics and traits without all the new-age woo that is usually propagated on websites when researching on this topic.
Some more skeptical sources claim that the traits associated with "right brain" thinking has little to do with the right hemisphere of the brain and that this is an oversimplified view of the subject. I don't know enough about the brain to comment whether that may be true or not, but it makes sense.
While thinking more creatively, activating intuition and being more spontaneous would be great, my primary aim is taking action consistently in the present moment without overthinking about whether what I'm doing right now is the correct action to take or not. I have ideas on what I would like to get done within the next couple months, the next 6 months, the next year and so on and how in what order, but I would like to just go with the flow of the present moment without thinking too far ahead and just TAKE CONCRETE ACTION on my ideas consistently without being a perfectionist and becoming incapacitated with doubts, etc.
I am under the impression that "right brain thinking" might help solve this problem, though I'm not entirely sure. I know many people in the world have this issue with chronic procrastination and being stuck in the head, so maybe it might be a good topic to discuss.
Personally, I am primarily interested in proven methods backed by science that activate the characteristics of what is known as "right brain thinking" but definitely open to any and all effective techniques and quality resources in relation to this topic.
Hope I didn't go on too long.
Thanks for reading!
