How to Train Your Brain to Produce Incredible Ideas

-


Thomas Edison changed the world of technology.
Albert Einstein changed the world of physics.
Charles Darwin changed the world of biology.

 Not many of us will ever achieve that level of brilliance, but we are all looking for creative thinking, better ideas, and more innovative solutions.

 To get there, you have to let go of your everyday thinking and embrace your inner genius by generating as many ideas and taking as many risks as possible.

Here’s how to generate ideas like a genius.

Brainstorm

Generate as many ideas, alternatives, and conjectures as possible—don’t worry about the quality of your ideas but how many you can come up with. There will be time to assess them later, and even if you end up tossing out nearly all of them, all you really need is one great idea.

Withhold Judgment

No matter how wild or unlikely your ideas are, keep them coming. To look at old subjects with new eyes, it’s critical to try out different perspectives until you find the one that will serve you best. The object is to let your mind run free, not to judge


Make a List

Write down or otherwise record every idea, even the ones that don’t seem worth bothering with. Even the worst idea may include an element you can use, and you don’t want to be in the frustrating position of thinking, wait, what was it? Later you can use your list to connect the dots.

Elaborate and Improve

Come up with variations of your ideas by incorporating random or unrelated factors. Look for alternative ways to think about a subject even if the old ways are working well.

Simmer and Incubate

Allocate time to simmer your thoughts and allow them to incubate—creativity takes time. So work on a problem, generate ideas, then walk away and do something completely different. Don’t think about the problem for some time, but leave it on the back burner. You may be surprised at what your subconscious can do when you leave things alone.


We all want to bring our best qualities and best ideas to the things we do. To improve the way we think, the way we lead, and the way we manage our time, the first step is to improve the way we think. Who knows? You might truly be the smartest person in the room someday.

-
By:   Deborah Brown Have you given up on your dreams? Would you like to get them back? Many of us give up on our dreams. Often our dreams slip away without our even realizing it. Our dreams are who we are. They give us an incentive to get out of bed everyday. They are the reason we were born, and our destiny to fulfill while we are here. They are within your grasp. And yes, they can come true. It's up to you to decide if they will. What can you do if you've given up on your dreams? Follow these easy steps: Remember you are worth it. You deserve to live your dreams. Recognizing this is the hardest and most necessary step. Most of us think that only other people get to live their dreams. Only other people are lucky enough, not us.

Once you know how important living your dreams is to your health and mental well being, then yo

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’. You can start with something small like going home on time or refusing to work extra hours, especially if you’re already raking in too much overtime. If that seems like a big step for you, then you can start by saying ‘no’ to that annoying colleague who loves sabotaging your healthy eating habits by tempting you with a piece of chocolate cake. These might seem like small steps, but taking the opportunity to say ‘no’ to minor instances will help you say ‘no’ to bigger things – whether it’s
