Steps to Thinking Outside of the Box
With Positive Changes
Oftentimes you hear people talking about thinking outside of the box. The desire to think outside of the box stems from the need of positive changes and the need for new solutions to solve current and new challenges. There are certain steps that can help you practice this great skill of thinking outside of the box.
Be Optimistic:
The first step towards out of the box thinking or what we call critical thinking is to leave the status quo and move out of your comfort zone to get to the positive outcome. People who practice pessimism can never bring about any positive changes. However, those who do succeed in bringing about a change have positive outlook towards everything. Whether in the field of science or in art, historically speaking, those who have had positive words in their vocabulary were the ones who were the harbingers of change, not only in their lives but in the lives of our whole society.
Break the Conventions:
If you are doing today what you were doing one year ago, you cannot expect to get different results. To get better results and effectively bring about positive change, not only do you need to have a positive outlook, but it’s also advisable that you do something thoroughly different in order to break the pattern. For this, you might find it helpful to boost your morale with positive words and positive self-talk so that you can begin to view things differently, as well.
Affirmations:
