How do you bring in ideas?
We are creatures of ideas.
We pride ourselves with knowing how to think differently and how to solve problems in different directions.
By our very nature, we are divergent.
We seek constant stimuli. We get our knowledge from things we see, hear, touch, feel, taste, or experience. We’re constantly bringing in information for our brain neurons to sort out, decide what to keep in our short-term memory and what to archive. For some, this is a thriving environment and a thrilling lifestyle. For others, it becomes overwhelming at best. This is the first part of embracing being “divergent”.
In your world, how many sources bring in the knowledge you seek and the experiences you enjoy every day? What do you pay attention to and what comes brushed under your brain rug?
