A common belief is that the left side of the brain is all about logic and problem-solving, while the right side handles imagination and creativity.

The truth is, it’s a lot more complicated than that! In reality, we all use both sides of the brain for all kinds of activities, regardless of our personality or individual talents.

Even though each side has a different specialty, the left brain and right brain are highly connected, and always working together- whether you’re doing math homework or doodling in the margins.
