4 Quadrants of my Brain

I’ve never been one for snap decisions, taking a leap of
faith without some thought process, weighing up the pros and cons; every little
detail with due diligence. Reading is at a slow pace as I take my time to
digest the information, formulate the bigger picture. I was the kid who when
engaged in a subject (as opposed to disengaged being disruptive talking) would divert my attention outside the window
or in a vacuum of space. Here I filtered scramble words to something more
meaningful. Until I found that AHA! moment that I had the bigger picture. And
all that had to happen before there was any sign of movement or progress. Phew!
And I’d always wonder if there was anyone else who did the same. After all, I
know I’m special and unique but surely I can’t be the only one who doesn’t fit
the so called ‘norm’.
Symbols, numbers and images had me firing on all cylinders.
Maths, chemistry, shorthand typing, art therapy; even astrology with its signs
and hieroglyphics make more sense than all the letters stuck together. So I
guess I rout my information through a different pathway to get the desired
results. Astrology gives me an insight into how I communicate, learn, interact
and so forth. But here was a tool, that
took me deeper into how much my brain influences that process and
consequent behaviours.
In fact, the brain has two sides, left and right as well as
front and back, making up 4 quadrants. Last year I did the free in8model® questionnaire and attended their Blue Print
For Change Seminars, that helped explain so much about why I am who I am and what
stops me from doing or having what I want. And I think that is what appealed to
me. To understand that it was okay to be me and that I didn’t have a label or be
stuck in that one position. You don't have permanent traits. You are constantly
adapting and changing to your environment. It did, however, show a way of
understanding my reality, and explaining much of my behaviour is influenced by my
quadrant preference style.
The
in8model® is an excellent tool that gives a clear
understanding of what makes your brain see the world like you do. You receive a mini report on your scores and
some insightful exercises to do that will enable you to define and attain the
decisions that you have make about 2017.
So as I do, I digest still like to digest my information
into a visual picture that seems to help me clarify and gain greater insight to
the matter at hand. The above picture is what I produced of my 4 quadrants of the brain,
linked together by an interwoven gold thread. Each quadrant with its own
colour. All suspended together into a framework. And surprise, surprise! The one I was most challenged at creating was
the yellow Quadrant 1! Here with its different pattern, even different cotton.
Yet here it lies, happy and connected, part of the whole.
Curious to know how your brain works? I’m sure it will be
different to mine!
