Creative questions are the imagination’s appetizer. They wet your brains palette and they stimulate creativity.
If you want your imagination to kick-in and reveal that next great idea you’ve got to get your brain to work on it. The best way to do that is to ask it questions.
You see, your brain is already asking itself questions all day long as it tries to make sense of what is going on around us. So trick your brain into working for our benefit, rather than against it.
When you want a solution to something, when you want to get your creative juices going don’t just make a wish, ask a question.
For example, rather that saying, “I wish I could go to Hawaii,” ask “How Can I Spend a Week in Hawaii this year and get paid for it?” Then pay attention to the answers you get (more about that tomorrow).
Here’s a list of ways you can start your questions that stimulate creative thinking:
- How can I…
- What can I do to…
- How can I learn…
- How can I meet…
- What action can I take that will…
- Where can I find the information I need to…
- Who can help me…
Do you ask yourself the right questions?
