Challenge Yourself to Think Outside the Box

Thinking outside the box is a little like drawing outside the lines. Those lines may be holding you back from learning new things, exploring the unknown or moving ahead with your dreams for success.

Learning to think outside the box requires challenging yourself to try new ways of doing things and coming out of your comfort zone.

Break out of your routine and learn something new – it doesn’t have to be something you’re particularly interested in – but learning it will make you see things in a different light.

Try drawing or coloring a picture. It doesn’t have to be a work of art, but it will encourage you to step out of the box and try new things. It’s a visual and right-brained way of breaking out of that left-brain mentality.

Going beyond the obvious may take some effort and planning, but when you escape the obvious and go for the unconventional, it can pay off in ways you never dreamed of.

Thinking outside the box lets you use an unusual approach to problem solving. It helps you leave your typical way of thinking and get a new perspective. That, alone, can open a whole new world to you.
