Intention setting in the new year
It’s that time of year again: the time when many of us engage in the practice of setting a new year’s resolution.

How to Unhook Your Logical Brain and Gain New Insights on Last Year
You’ve probably heard of right-brained vs. left-brained activities.
Right-brained activities are creative, intuitive and subjective. Left-brained activities are linear, analytical and logical.
It has been a popular myth that people prefer right-brained or left-brained activities because they have a dominant side of the brain. It turns out that while certain activities are wired on one side of the brain (for example language tends to be on the left), people use each side of the brain equally.… Read the rest
