Top 7 Blocks To Creative Thinking And How To Solve Them

Each of us has the power to create. It is part of our natural environment as humans. The problem is that we often block our natural intelligence and therefore make mistakes in thinking and give ourselves more problems than we should. Here are 7 ways to unlock your natural intelligence and keep channels unrestricted.

1. Do Not Make Guessing

When we think about it, we usually make a "donkey" with "u" and "me." Guessing is an example of lazy thinking. We do not simply wait for all the information we need to come to the right conclusion. There is a story about a customer in a bank who, after receiving a check and then turning around and walking away, repeats: “Sorry, I think you made a mistake.” The treasurer replies, “I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do. It would help if you counted them.

 

 

2. See Items with other perspective

A truly open mind is willing to accept that, not only because some people have other positive ideas from them, but that these other points of view can be more effective.

While critical thinking skills based on logic are one of our main strengths in evaluating the feasibility of a creative idea, it’s often the enemy of truly innovative thoughts in the first place.

One of the best ways to escape the constraints of your own logical mind is to think metaphorically.

 

 

3. Avoid think twice about

Some people tend to change for the better in one minute and worse in the next, all because of what they see in front of them. It's like wigwag: up for one minute, down for the next. It is much better to remain neutral and not let emotions control you.

 

 

4. Get Rid of boring Thinking

Practice can become a major obstacle to clarifying thinking and another example of boredom. Try this test. Write down the German surnames

  • Schneider, occupation (tailor)
  • Fischer, occupation (fisherman)
  • Weber, occupation (weaver)

and ask someone to pronounce them. Now follow this with the name Machinery and see what happens. Most people would probably call it wrong. This is because we tend to think in terms of common sense and we do not like inequalities.

 

 

5. Always think Like a Child

Studies show that the number of synapses, or connections, in the brain are greater in two children than in adults. The reason for this is that, while the child of the two is infinite in the view of the world, as adults do. It is like a carpenter who starts with a large piece of clay, in addition to what he needs, and then gradually removes the clay as he molds his image. If we use our brain as a child, we accept everything without judgment; we can actually stop and reverse the aging process in the brain.

 

 

6. See Details and Big Picture

You may be familiar with John Godfrey Saxe's poem "Blind Men and Elephants." This tells us how six blind Indostan men went to see an elephant, and each one tried to figure out what it was by touching. One blind man touches a bowl, another holds, another tail, and so on. Of course, since they could not see all the elephants, they came to completely different conclusions.

 

 

7. Consider Yourself

Taking time to think is still very much in the hands of many professional organizations. People who work in organizations with artistic problems may think the way they should think, or as others think, or have always been the way they think. It is similar to the thought-provoking thoughts that Hans Christian Anderson describes in his article "The New Emperor's Clothes." Everyone in the world refuses to recognize the emperor's nakedness and is tricked into believing that he is wearing the best attire for his anointing. A young boy who has been sick and who is not involved in racism can see the truth and shout: “Look at you all, the Lion is not dressed!”

 

Once you have made the above 7 steps part of your common thinking patterns, you will be amazed at how easy it is to develop new, innovative, and creative solutions to all of life’s problems.
