Finding Another Way Of Thinking

Entry to Sunset Point

Post Written By Eugene Morgan

For us to get around or through a problem, we must find another way of thinking. If our conclusions are dead ends, then it is time to revamp the way we’re thinking about the problem. We need to re-educate ourselves by looking at the problem with a new entry point. This will steer us into new direction, instead of falling into a trap which lead us to a dead-end in the first place. Although the new entry point could lead us to another dead-end, it’s a good technique to help us think in diverse ways rather than think one way.

 

 

Creative Exercise

Open book
Written By Eugene Morgan

Sometimes we want ideas to come to us quickly, but that’s not usually the case. Instead of waiting for an idea, we can do various exercises to stimulate our minds.

One good exercise, is to read a book starting with the last page and guess or predict what’s on the previous page.  This exercise will help in getting us to think in multiple ways not just think one way.

Another way of enhancing our ability to come up with new ideas, is to first think of a problem, get a dictionary and close our eyes while opening the dictionary and point to a page. And then we open our eyes to see what word is pointed to.  Then we think of how we can use the word in relationship to solving a problem.
