Listen Later

Discover a neuroscience-backed practice you can try right now to refresh your mind and creativity: using your non-dominant hand for daily tasks. In today’s episode, Rhonda explores why “mixing it up” can strengthen your brain, spark fresh ideas, and help you live more awake, starting with something as simple as how you brush your teeth.

Today on Love Notes from Rhonda, I want you to mix it up. Really—pick up that toothbrush, the TV remote, or even your pen, and use your non-dominant hand. Why? Because every time you switch things up, your brain gets a workout in the most gentle, creative way.

I share how changing your daily habits not only activates both sides of your brain, but helps you grow new neural pathways, fuels your creativity, and helps you think in ways you never could before. Whether you’re right-handed or left-handed, these small shifts bring the gift of new perspective and playful possibility.

If you’ve felt stuck in routine or long to renew your spark, this episode is your invitation to try something different and let your own curiosity lead the way.

What You’ll Discover
  • Why your brain thrives on new experiences and gentle challenges
  • How using your non-dominant hand strengthens neural connections and grows new brain cells
  • The connection between creativity and “mixing it up” in daily life
  • Easy ways to try the practice: writing, brushing your teeth, pouring water, and more
  • How activating both hemispheres of your brain opens you to new possibilities and flexible thinking
  • Why playful, small changes are key to living more awake and fearless

Key Takeaway

When you dare to “mix it up” in your everyday life, you invite growth, creativity, and joy, your brain comes alive, and so do you.


Key Quote

“But when you use that non dominant hand, the brain actually says, huh, changes a foot, which then gives it permission to have actually more creativity.”

“And the more you do this on a regular basis, the more you're gonna find your creativity is sparked and your passion is even more alive.”
