Ep 127: Jumpstart your Thinking

We’re all thinking of ideas to make real all day every day, though we often don’t realize it. Ideas for what we want to do with an afternoon, how to theme a party, what relationship or health habits we want to tweak, or the big obvious ones like what career change we want to make, where we want to travel, or what we want a creative project to be based on.And then…we get stuck. Ever get stuck finding your next step? Or figuring out what approach to take? Maybe you get caught up in thinking about what you SHOULD do, or what you’ve seen before, or what everyone else is doing. We all do, because our human brain is designed to fit in; not to stand out. In order to be truly creative and authentic with our ideas, we need to help our human brains break out of those boxed up ways of thinking. Based on the design thinking practices, futurist processes, improv, career search specialists, and my own processes for ideation, today’s episode will teach you five different practices to help your brain think in new and different ways. What you’ll learn in today’s episode: How combining your favorite things can make the next step easier than you think  What futurists do to expand their thinking, that you can do anytime, anywhere The difference between having many ideas, and many types of ideas How to use improv to spice up your idea4 questions to ask yourself to shed the fear and unleash possibility How we can remember to balance presence of positive qualities with familiarityHow to connect with Marie:On the Web | The Local BloomInstagram: @the.bloom.coachAll Things Marie on LinkTreeJOIN THE BLOOM ROOM!We'll take all these ideas and apply them to our lives.
