Right-side or left-side of the brain, which do I use. I am pretty much in the middle and use both sides some what equally. I am more critical than I am creative when it comes to work but I tend to be more creative when I am at home. I think sometimes it is good to separate your work life from your home life, although sometimes it tends to cross over.
However you see yourself whether creative or critical, you must take care of you.
Sheila, nice illustrations to support your thought. I agree that self care is so important to us in the helping professions as sometimes we are so affected by our client's crisis that we take on their stress and emotions and it becomes hard to separate ourselves from work. To be a productive, helpful worker and a whole person who enjoys a personal life also, we must practice self care.
