Do the RIGHT thing!
« on: January 06, 2021, 04:04:44 AM »
Have you ever noticed that you walk left foot first, you know "Hup Two Three Four"? Or walk to the rhythm of a tune ringing in your head, left foot on the one beat? Or even start walking the stairs with your left, always?

Here's the challenge: Hup on the right, right foot on the first beat etc.! Try it, it's harder than you think! It'll take about two weeks for you to remember to start counting on the right and some three months until it starts to be as easy as the left foot beat.

Here's the carrot: Making the right thing as natural as the left makes your brain grow new neural pathways which will serve as a reserve in case the previously used pathways fail, either because of an injury or a memory disorder like Alzheimer's.

I learned as a teenage cadet to march with left foot forward first.

Somehow, in my 20s, I started with my right foot first in bowling approach to the foul line.

I guess that makes me ambidextrous with my feet!!!!!

:lol I like your way of thinking... However, we don't suffer from restrictions here. I can still visit my customers at their homes, shopping is still allowed and most of the public services including libraries are open. Masks are recommended but not mandatory. End of derailing, for now.

Bah! Winters aren't what they used to be when I moved here back in November, 1986. January '87 was -40 C almost the whole month through, now we've barely reached -10 for overnight. We also used to have some 100 cm of snow at this time, now there's some 20 cm at the most. The street has been cleaned twice so far, or maybe three times?

Mild winter here so far too, but I know at some point we'll pay for it.  Average almost 100in(254cm) each year and haven't even reached a foot yet.  Although I hope it doesn't I am sure it will right itself at some point.  Hopefully just not in April.   :)

Ok back to your foot thing.   :salute

Never thought/heard about this before. Interesting.

I have tried writing with my non-dominant hand, which does the same basically - engaging the opposite side of your brain.
