Reverse Your Life! Another great technique for creative thinking…
Look at your life and all its aspects and activities, and consider, one by one, reversing everything!
This exercise will give you a fresh look at who you are and what you do, and will allow you to make changes where appropriate, and to leave things as they are when you realise they are satisfying and rewarding to you.
Consider your:
- clothes
- friends
- foods
- location
- cultural activities
- and athletic pursuits.
If you go to the gym in the evening, try going before breakfast. Swap rooms around, so that you sleep in your living room and live in your bedroom. You’ll probably decide to leave much as it is; similarly you’ll probably decide that a number of things, when reversed, could make your life much more happy, creative and rich.
