GETTING YOUR BRAIN TO THINK IN NEW CREATIVE WAYS

 GETTING YOUR BRAIN TO THINK IN NEW CREATIVE WAYS

1.  Engage in Observation Sessions. 

I'm telling you the truth, the world is already too too noisy and yet alot of human beings are also noisy internally! They are not in synch with their instinct, their soul and spirit... 

See, let me say this, great ideas won't happen in a vacuum. 

You need some way of getting your brain to think in new and creative ways. 

Commit time to specific sessions where you stimulate your brain into thinking differently. 

I love to call it "me time" Have a time where you lock the world out and think.

A simple walk through my estate can introduce me to exciting activity and behavior that makes me think anew. 

Any crowded urban area or  mall can do the same.

Also, I read a lot and I read  ANYTHING!!!! so far it is not junks.

I learn a lot from.

 Just looking at people!!! Sighs

My question to you is, do you ever take time to slow down and observe?

Do you have an observation strategy?

2. Read More Books

I can tell you this for free, books are wonderful for creating new thoughts and stimulating great ideas. 

I started reading self help books very very early in life . When I added business books to my routine, it helped me learn more and expand my way of thinking. And several years ago, I started  reading biographies and histories. These stories really got me out of my daily headspace and activated my idea generator. 

See, even if you can't make the time for a book, go hunt down a bookstore and spend an hour browsing. You'll find plenty of thought stimulation.

When you read books constantly your thinking partner will change drastically.

The way people title their books, triggers ideas in me!!!! Just go to a bookstore, check 100 book titles.. If you do it mindfully, you'll get ideas.

I sometimes get lost in book shops, looking at books and their table of content.

3. Socialize Outside Your Normal Circles

Hanging around with the same friends and colleagues can get you in a thinking rut. (as in, mental 'stagnation') for example, you're a banker and everyone in your circle are bankers, you're not mixing INTENTIONALLY with other people with different professional background... Trust me, you'll think your father's farm is the Biggest. Intentionally go out with new crowd. If you are constantly with a group change for a while. Your thinking will change. Show me your friend i will show who you are.

Your group of friends has a lot to do with what you can achieve in life. If you are among successful people your chances of becoming successful is high and vise is the case.

Do an assessment this weekend, check the mix of the people in your network. 

Pls take advantage of all those LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram connections and start some exciting conversations. 

You see ba, new people don't know all your thought patterns and old stories, so you'll have to revisit your existing inner monologues. Meanwhile you all need to read this book by Malcom Gladwell: TALKING TO STRANGERS. 

The refreshing perspectives from people of different professional background from yours will help to surface new thinking and possibly a lightning bolt or two.

Am I making sense?
