There are many different techniques that allow you to develop flexibility of thinking (you won't be able to place everything in one article). One of them, which is definitely worthy of attention, is the system proposed by V.N. Kelasiev. Let's take a closer look at this approach. It includes the following steps:
Change of habitual temporary connections
- The method of separating two interconnected sequential processes that stand in a time series familiar to people. An example would be trying to imagine thunder without lightning, which is essentially a shot.
- The method of replacing the temporal order of a certain process with an absolutely opposite one. For example, imagine that first thunder roars, and then lightning flashes.
- Method of reducing the time interval between some events. You can try to reduce the interval between birth and death of a person to one day and try to describe such a length of time. Another way is to imagine a dialogue between people from different eras or two personalities from the past and the future.
- Mental movement of some familiar object along the time axis. An example is the reasoning about what the TV is now, what it will become in the future and what its prototypes existed in the past. You can also imagine anything, like a library of the future.
Change of habitual spatial relationships
- A method of replacing traditional spatial relationships with unusual ones. For example, you can imagine that the car is not on the road, but under the road.
- The method of combining various objects that exist separately in everyday life. You can imagine a blade of grass or a picture of a fruit.
- The method of disconnecting traditionally related objects. Examples include fish without water or a store without money.
Change of community bonds familiar to a person
- The method of logical subtraction of a common feature from objects. The planet and the ball have the same property - a spherical shape. You need to imagine the Earth, provided that it is not round.
- The method of strengthening the common feature. For this practice, you should find something similar in two completely different objects. For example, rain and a rocket fall to the ground. And if you decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen, you get fuel for a rocket.
- The method of replacing traditional relations with absolutely opposite ones. You can imagine that smoke is healthier than clean air.
Change of habitual links of transformation of actions
- The method of separating actions implies depriving some object of the possibility of performing traditional actions. For example, it is enough to imagine a load that has no weight, a car that does not carry anything, or food without calories.
- The method of obtaining a certain result in the absence of the usual source of action (a building built without builders, or a festival without participants).
- A method of blocking a standard expected result in the course of a certain sequence of actions. For example, a car is carrying a passenger, but the passenger remains in place.
- The method of changing the standard direction of action (cigarettes are not harmful to humans, but humans are dangerous to cigarettes).
- An increase in a certain property of an object to an incredible scale (a car carries one hundred thousand passengers).
- The method of strengthening or weakening the main property of an object (car-motorcycle-bicycle).
- A method of creating stories using pre-selected objects. A group of interrelated objects is used, after which the roles are handed out to the participants, who must describe their capabilities as vividly as possible (train, passenger, platform).
- The method of forming new objects from those that already exist. This method is a kind of synthesis of a new object.
This approach provides the development of flexibility of thinking, which is very important for maintaining your creativity in good shape. You need to understand that it is difficult to develop the flexibility of the mind in a few days. That is why you need to apply these exercises regularly.
