Development of creative thinking “in between”

🎨While riding a bus or walking, read the store signs backwards. Sometimes it can be frankly funny, try it! For example, the sign “Everything for the house” you will read as “Amod yald esv”

🎨While you are waiting for your turn, you can get a book and start reading sentences not from top to bottom, but from bottom to top. For example, you will get that the hero of the novel performs all the actions in reverse order. First, he leaves home in the morning, then he has breakfast in his kitchen, brushes his teeth and gets out of bed, and then only hears the alarm clock.

🎨During the break, come up with 10 exotic names: separately for men, separately for women. For example, Malaruktigara or Penigestior.

🎨As an option, you can draw, especially if you have never done it or always thought that you were bad at it. Draw something unreal, like a non-existent animal, and call it a non-existent name.

🎨While you are at home, take a pencil in your left hand and write! And if you are absolutely sure that no one will catch you doing this, take a pencil with your toes. You can draw or write text.

🎨 In your free time, make up phrases from incompatible words. For example, sweet salt or true lies.

🎨Take any word and try to imagine that it is an abbreviation. Try to decrypt it. For example, MILK: One Can Love Very Much Giving Oneself to One.

🎨 Think of 20 ways you can use the chair. Just do not take the battered options that you can sit or stand on it. It would be much more original to make a cat house out of it or use it as a gymnastic apparatus.

🎨 Stimulate your ingenuity with the forced connection method. Take an item and think about how you can modify or improve it. Consider, for example, a book. Try to “attach” other things to it. For example, a mirror. Perhaps it will be a book with a mirror image. And now “attach” the player. Yes, it’s an audiobook!

The meaning of these exercises is to move away from the standard. Thus, our thinking opens up new horizons that extend far from the imposed and boring stereotypes.
