The past couple of months have been filled with learning. It has been said that we only use 10% of our brains. Others say that is a generous estimate.
If you've ever done the exercises in Betty Edward's book, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, you know the feeling when you use a part of the brain that has been lax for too long. The right side is the artistic, creative side. It is more developed in some because they use it more frequently. When you draw, the right side of the brain kicks in and like an unused muscle, gets tired and it takes more effort to make it work. When you finish doing an exercise in this book (unless you draw all the time), you can actually feel your brain.
The same applies if you are learning lots of new material. The bottom line is, if you want to expand your mind, use it.
