　　If you’re right-handed, develop the skills of your left hand or vice versa---allow it to draw something, switch TV channels or drink a cup of tea. Try this exercise: write a list of ten adjectives which characterize your personality using the hand you usually write with. A few days later, repeat the exercise writing with the other hand. Then compare the two lists. You might be surprised at the secrets of your inner self! For example, on the first list you might have written that you’re “witty”, but the second list might say “suspicious”. Then try a similar exercise, making two lists of “What I would most like to do”.

　　Have you ever longed to paint portraits or watercolors, write a novel, draw cartoons, compose a song, design your own clothes, set up a business or landscape your garden? If so, why not start now? Yes, you might discover that your fast efforts are laughable---but try, try again. With a few notable exceptions such as Mozart, most people haven’t developed their ability through sheer hard work. Don’t kid yourself that you haven’t any spare time. It’s a question of making time, of seeing your gifts as important enough to devote a few hours to each week. Who knows---you might be the next Laura Ashley or Agatha Christie?

Whether it’s a purely fantasy, or a dream about how life might be in the future, only the right-brain has visions of this kind. Creative visualization, vividly imagining whatever you desire as if it has already happened---and really believing in it, is said to be a powerful way of getting what you want. Many top sports people imagine themselves playing and winning---and it seems to work.
