Good Morning,
Most of us have had the challenge of writers block, a mental block or just having a good ole' fashioned brain fart. It could as simple as not being able to find the right words to put in an email or the best way to present an idea in a presentation or just not having a clue what to do next.
There are many ways to try to chip away at this block. It could going off and doing something else for a few minutes, hours, days or weeks (depending on how bad your block is).
One sure fire way to getting the creative juices flowing pretty quickly is throwing the mind a curveball.
By going into brain storming mode, you can start listing out ideas which can help you get past your mental block. Start off with a blank piece of paper, and write down what your goal is on the title and underline it.
Under the underline start writing down solutions. If you can't come up with any, make stuff up. In fact, start listing really BAD ideas out.
If you need to find a way to solve a financial problem you could start listing things like:
- Start begging for money at a highway exit
- Beg a relative for money
- Sell non-vital body parts
- Get a loan
- Rob a bank
- Print money
- Sell lemonade
- Sell my old books on eBay
- Get a part time job
The first group of ideas were just BAD, stupid and some even harmful to your health.
The point is not to follow through with the bad ideas, but to keep the stream of consciousness rolling from the bad ideas. You will see the mind being freed up from its block to new or much more reasonable solutions. Often some that are just sitting right there under your nose.
Try it!
Enjoy!
