Doris Lim, the owner of "CreativeThinkingForWomen.com", has only one thing in mind when she started this niche site, and that is to create awareness to the general public that you don't have to be a "rocket scientist" to have "creative thinking". She believes that no one should be thought of as being smarter or more creative just because one possesses a higher education. Of course, that helps a little. But, she believes that anyone can be taught to "think creatively". All one has to do is tap into that brain one has been born with and bring out the creative side. With so much knowledge and information available on the internet nowadays, it will take alot of effort, energy and time to select the best authors/writers, articles, tips and "how-to's" to come together in a creative process in this niche site and make it the "1-Stop Centre for Creative Thinking". And because Doris is a woman, this website will be dedicated to all "women", thus the name "CreativeThinkingForWomen.com" (Softly whispering... "men" are also welcome to visit).
A little bit of history about Doris. Having both an Asian and European background (Chinese and Portuguese), her thoughts are equally governed by both the East as well as the West. That accounts for her love of the English Language (she's being accused of having a British accent when she converses with Americans) and her obsession with Korean television serials (obviously, she has to make do with English subtitles). But, enough chit-chat.
Her credentials stem from her extensive years of experience working with "great minds" who "think creatively" and "act creatively". She has prepared speeches for politicians, consumer activists, assisted authors and researchers in the production of books and newsletters and also dabbled in the advertising and public relations sector.
Thus her quest now - to boldly go where no mind has gone before (no, we're not watching "Star Trek") and seek the BEST stuff out there in the "Cyber World" in order to share with her readers/subscribers, the various aspects of "Creative Thinking".
How often have problems cropped up in your daily life, where the solution completely eluded you? No matter how hard you tried there just seemed to be no answer. Then someone else comes along and provides the answer, seemingly without much thought at all. That is one of the strong points of creative thinking, being able to look at a situation from a different perspective.
Any one problem can have many possible solutions, all of which depend entirely on a persons perspective. By being creative in your thinking you are able to examine the problem from many different perspectives. When that person came along with the answer so easily it wasn’t because they were smarter than you, they just saw the situation differently.
There is no problem or situation that doesn’t have a solution of some kind. To find those solutions may simply require us to think outside of the box. You’re probably asking yourself, “How do I do That?”
Most of us look at problems only one way, never examining all sides of the situation. There are times when the solution may be found this way, many more times when it will not.
I usually tackle problems head on at first, as most people do. When that approach doesn’t provide any results, I try and look at the problem from a backwards perspective. For example, if I am working on a new program for the website and something is just not working right. If the solution eludes me at first I simply look at the problem from back to front. By this I mean that I look at the end result I am expecting and proceed backwards from there. This often yields the solution for me.
Of course this will not always present the solution to every problem, as I stated earlier, every problem has several possible solutions. The most important thing is to try and view every problem, from as many different perspectives as possible. If you still find that the solution eludes you, step away for a second. Take a relaxing walk or other enjoyable activity for a few minutes. You will be giving your mind a rest, while your subconscious is still working on the problem. When you return to the problem you will likely have a bright new perspective.
By using your own creative thinking processes to solve day to day problems, you will find that most are really not all that unsurmountable. By developing the proper problem solving skills you’ll find your life becoming far less stressful.
