to think RIGHTly

My mother is an elementary school teacher.  With this, I had the advantage to be taught on how to manage my studying habits.  Two weeks before the periodical exams, she would let me review the lessons in each subjects.  I would memorize and understand all the possible items that could be included in the exams.  After those allotted time, I should be ready with a review with her before the exam days.  In that way, my memory will be fresh for the next day's test.  I brought this kind of studying habits even in high school and in college (of course, minus my mother still reviewing me).  

This is how I mastered my left brain thinking.  Left brain thinking, according to our discussion, is more of processing information according to logic, sequence, symbols and reality.  This is practiced when we manage knowledge in a more quantifiable and rigid sense. And, through the years, this part of my brain, I think, is more processed compared to the other part (the right part).   

Upon knowing these facts, I now understand why I am more organized.  I have a hard time working in a messy place.  Some even called me an 'O.C.' person.  I even thought that I have a psychological disorder (although 'O.C.' really is a disorder).  Good thing, our discussion enlightened me that my routines are still normal to a person type.  

It also helped me categorize myself when our discussion about the brain even focused into a smaller part of it.  I realized that most of my activities are accorded by the left lower limbic part of the brain (whew, this may sound very technical).  People who are accorded more by this part of the brain are called the 'Organizers' according to Hermann's Whole Brain Model (1976).  When we were asked to take a part of the exam that determines in which part of the whole model one's belonging, it really turned out that I am a left brain thinker.  And, that may explain it all (not totally, since we only took a very small portion of the test).  

However, I am not that happy to prove that I am really that kind of thinker (even a vertical and convergent thinker one).  Most of the time, in my almost twenty-four year in this earth, I always pray that I should be more of a right brain thinker (if only I was aware of this concept when I was younger).  It is not that I am not satisfied with what is destined or given to me, it is just that I would be happier if I would be more creative than with what I am now.  

For instance, in most of my experiences, I tend to give up easily because I can only think of fewer options in solving my problems (like of how a convergent thinker processes problems).  And, I think, this can be blamed to my being less creative.  And now, I thank I taken this subject.  At first, I thought I can solely rely on logic to solve problems.  Upon knowing that we all have that creative juices with us, and we only need to hone it, I eventually began to think otherwise.

With this, I am thinking of enhancing my ability to process creativity.  I should practice shifting my mind set for me to be able to see easily on more options to solve my problems.

Since I am in the first part of that process, can you suggest on how I can easily undertake this personal challenge?  Thank you in advance. :)
