What Was Albert Einstein Thinking?
Summary
To create change, step outside of yourself and view situations with fresh eyes.Keywords
Problem solving, fresh perspective, thinking patterns---
Albert Einstein famously said, "You can't solve a problem with the same mind that created it." To address an issue you’ve contributed to, you need a fresh perspective. For instance, someone might think, "If I change my job, my life will improve." While possible, life rarely works this way if you continue with the same old thinking patterns. To truly change, step outside yourself and view your situation with fresh eyes.
Here are six ways to embrace a new mindset and stimulate your creativity:
1. Break Existing Patterns
We often move through life on autopilot, guided by mental routines formed over time. For example, grocers design stores to maximize spending, but savvy shoppers create their own patterns to stay on budget. To break mental patterns, try new approaches to familiar tasks. Visit a different coffee shop to brainstorm and discover new solutions.
2. Seek New Patterns
The original design concept for computers came from the hole-punch patterns used in weaving jacquard fabrics. Adapting techniques from one field to another can lead to innovative solutions. For example, I apply a nursing diagnostic process to business challenges, leading to creative problem-solving.
3. Change Small Actions
Altering a small habit can shift your thinking. If you often start work by checking your computer, try writing a list of goals first. Small changes can shake up your routine and reveal new possibilities.
4. Challenge Your Obstacles
Dispel notions like not having enough time or resources. Regularly ask yourself what beliefs are hindering your progress. Personally, I overcome the belief that I lack time by challenging it, leading to increased productivity.
5. Be Your Own Advocate
Thinking from multiple perspectives, like a lawyer considering both sides of a case, improves strategy. Whether dealing with career or personal issues, become your own advocate by considering opposing viewpoints.
6. Question Assumptions
Einstein also said, "The important thing is not to stop questioning." Embrace a questioning mindset to unlock potential solutions. I often challenge tech explanations in my office, leading to surprising results when assumptions are set aside.
Before tackling a problem, consider which mindset you're using. Solutions may not appear instantly, but keeping possibilities open allows your mind to find answers. I've experienced breakthroughs during yoga classes, reminding us that while we may not think exactly like Einstein, new patterns and thinking can unlock our inner genius.
