I offer an insight into how to apply this form of creative thinking in simple, accessible steps. Whether you just want to have fun, train your brain, enrich your experience, solve specific problems, create new ideas, brand a product and so much more - you could find that the possibilities are unlimited!

Just focusing on a few words, e.g. choose three objects in a room. Play around with them in your imagination - make them bigger, animate them, put them on a screen, turn them upside down and even make them flexible. This little game can help you feel more confident and even enable you to reclaim your personal power in a situation where there is some dis-ease.

This is a popular and very effective technique used in NLP (neuro-linguistic programming). To find out more, search my other knols on NLP.

Explore, Play, Appreciate

Having written many academic and non-academic articles on Creativity and the stages of creativity, I am now working on making this topic more interesting and accessible to people of all ages and all walks of life.

I have written extensively on I-VOLUTION where I explain the 7 stages in creative thinking. These are:

1. Interest, Initialisation, Introduction
2. Interaction
3. Immersion
4. Incubation
5. INSIGHT, innovation
6. Integration (personal level or specific area)
7. Integration (globally)

Through experience in coaching and consulting, I have come to condense these stages into 3 steps. These are:

1. Explore
2. Play
3. Appreciate

I have found this new Creative Thinking Model can hold and transmit more information in less time - it's more efficient, effective and versatile.

I am currently writing a knol with the title "Possibility Thinking - explore, play, appreciate" to present a simple, fun and valuable exercise with wide application.
