Creative Exercise
Hello friends!!
I hope you are all doing great!!
I want to share with you a creative exercise that i personally practiced and used for my gain!
Before i get there i have a small question.
Have you ever paused to wonder how many of your beliefs are quietly steering the course of your life, without you even realizing it? Yes, i'm talking about ASSUMPTIONS. They become part of our reality, unexamined, and, most importantly, unquestioned. They guide our decisions, shape our opinions, and above all, limit our creativity. Sometimes assumptions seem so basic, so fundamental, that we never think to challenge them. So, here is the creative exercise that someone very dear to me once taught me, and helped me unleash my creative thinking!
1. So, first state your challenge.
2. Then list your assumptions. What do you believe of the matter?
3. After that, challenge your fundamental assumptions, ask questions for example {why it has to be like this, or who said it and so on}. Try to challenge the obvious.
4. Now, try to reverse each assumption, by writing down the opposite of each one.
5. Then, record differing viewpoints that might prove useful to you. { How else can you see the challenge].
6. Finally, ask yourself how to accomplish each reversal and list as many useful viewpoints and ideas as you can.
Now, i practice that when i'm facing a challenge, i try to reverse my assumptions and after that, i ask myself how to accomplish the reversals. Now this is very important, i'm not looking for one right answer, but for a different way of viewing existing information. I know from experience, that reversals might destabilize your conventional thinking patterns and free information to come together in provocative new ways.
Remember, this isn’t just a mental workout, nor is it a simple exercise, it’s an invitation to embrace a more expansive way of thinking. Let us explore what happens when we venture into the unknown, where the familiar rules do not apply, when we question the unquestionable and set our minds free.
I hope you try this for yourself and find solutions and of course ideas to any challenge you may face. If you have any questions let me know, write down your personal experiences and let us discuss what did you find while doing this remarkable activity!!
Until the next time!!
