Open Your Mind

2 ways to open your mind and unlock your potential.

We have all had times in life when we’ve felt stuck in a rut. We know what we want to achieve but we just can’t seem to figure out how to overcome the obstacle we’re facing.


These tips are to help you do some different thinking, to let your imagination run free and move your head away from the same old ways of thinking; it’s not about finding the right answer straight away but about coming up with as many different possible ways forward as possible:



1. Understanding yourself and your situation

Firstly, check-in with yourself to see if it’s your own negative thoughts getting in the way. Spend some time with this, notice what you feel and how you speak about yourself - these negative assumptions are one of the factors which will restrict your creativity when thinking about new options to get things done. If you notice that you may hold some limiting beliefs ask yourself "what evidence do I have which supports this belief?" More importantly, if you have some evidence to support it, ask yourself how old that evidence is? The likelihood is… it’s pretty ancient.



2. Reach for a new point of view by asking "how" ·

Discovering the power of asking "how" places you in the present moment. With this art-mindset formula I am encouraging you to start simplifying your language by asking "how". It's a simple, yet extraordinarily powerful question: "how can I get what I need?".


Asking a HOW question slows us down for a moment. In that moment, we are able to consider alternatives and manage our own prejudices toward what suits us personally.


HOW questions can lead us to answers that let us slow down as we do what we do, helping us do it more efficiently. It is about modifying how we fulfil our responsibilities to maximize our efficiency and effectiveness.


For example:

· Instead of asking, "why I am getting stuck?" -ask yourself: "HOW can I get unstuck?"

Or:

· Instead of asking "why I don't have enough money?" -ask yourself: "how can I get more money?"

· Instead of asking "why don’t I have a job that makes me happy?" -ask yourself: "how can I find a more suitable job to me?”


Can you see the ways in which it’s helping you slow down and explore more possibilities? It gets you to the PRESENT; it simplifies your reality and your interpretation of it.




Our brain is programmed to answer the questions we give it, so give some time to the ones above and see if it opens any new ideas for you, because they all invite your brain to think outside of the box._



" We cannot solve our problems by thinking on the same level that we used to create them."- Einstein
