Flexible Thinking: How To Change Your Thoughts - a podcast by Katie
from 2022-01-13T09:00
Widening our perspective and horizons increases our opportunities, and reduces our struggles. Perhaps one of the easiest ways to overcome a challenge is to change our perspective!
- Stuck thinking is the opposite of flexible thinking – being stuck in one way of proceeding.
- Being open-minded and listening to other people’s input might be all it takes to create a new way of thinking and looking at a problem.
- Changing your environment, moving, walking, going somewhere different – this can contribute to a change of thought, an epiphany or a different perspective.
- Asking yourself powerful questions – never underestimate the power of questions! Sometimes one question is enough to shift all of your thought processes.
Flexible thinking is a powerful way to unblock new ideas, be innovative and think ‘outside the box’ – challenging yourself to look at situations and problems from another perspective shows open-mindedness and a willingness to change your approach.
