"Explore Bright Ideas"

 

Every person can learn to generate bold, innovating ideas by adopting a creative technique and applying the best thinking tools. To be creative, we don’t need to be artistic.

To explore new things and generate new ideas, firstly you need to break your old thinking patterns. Sometimes due to our comfort zone or being afraid of adjusting our self in new ideas with new people at new place, we all get stuck in certain old track of thoughts without even realizing that they are holding us back. We need to start to see new paths ahead and break these established thoughts created by us only.

Start Challenging your assumptions:

We all have some set of assumptions in each and every situation. Challenging your preconceptions can also open some exciting possibilities. You would like to open new office at different location. You know that it’s a good investment but you don’t pursue the idea because you assume that you cannot afford it. You may don’t have enough amount in your bank account .This is time to challenge your assumptions. You can take a loan from bank, you can sell some assets or you can do overtime to make these payments.

Reframe  your problems:

 Your way of defining or rephrase your problems can limit your creativity. If you start looking your problems from a different angle and describe the issues in a different way which you are trying to solve. By adopting these ways, new solutions can emerge.

If you are finding it difficult to think of a new approach, start thinking in reverse. Explore the exact opposite of what you want to achieve, flip the question. This can lead you to innovative ways to deal with the real issues. Radical ideas can arise from tackling new problems in unusual ways. The best way to do this is to do things differently. Explore your creativity through photography, music, painting, videography, sculpture and so on. Instead of just talk or write about your plans, try to express yourself with the different forms of media. Fresh thinking can emerge, when you let your creativity flow.
