“There is no innovation and creativity without failure.” – Brené Brown
- Write down one or two questions you have about today or tomorrow. (like “Should I go to the gym?’ or “Could I start that new project?”)
- Beneath each question, ask yourself “Why not?”
- Write the first thing that comes to mind.
- Beneath that line ask again, “Why not?”
- Write your answer.
- Repeat three additional times and note what ideas come as a result.
You can implore your imagination to explore possibilities you may not have otherwise been able to imagine in the first place.
