How can you be intentional about finding inspiration?
Discoveries often come about without warning, and innovation by accident. So how can you plan for "aha moments" when revelations seem to manifest themselves without reason?SCIENCE SAYS:
The brain thrives on innovative thinking, whereas familiarity breeds rote thinking and stagnation. So when you need a creative breakthrough, try something new. Seek out simple, realistic steps. Making incremental changes can strengthen creative thinking in your work and daily life.BEGIN BY:
- Asking "outside the box" questions to explore new ideas
- Gathering different points of view to consider, while withholding bias
- Brainstorming for several varied approaches, without immediately eliminating any of them
- Resetting your thoughts with regular brain breaks: Literally do nothing (and think about nothing) for five full minutes
