How to develop thinking
Thinking - This is one of the most important differences of man from other living beings. What is thinking? Thinking is the ability to think, analyze a situation, draw conclusions on the basis of observations, and also present information that a person has. A person’s behavior very much depends on his way of thinking, and if so, then if we develop thinkingthen we can change our behavior in different situations, become a slightly different person.
The development of thinking is an exercise in which we change the course of our thoughts about the same object or phenomenon. For example, when it is a hot summer day outside, you can think of it completely differently. The first, as mentioned earlier, is simply a statement of fact: "It's a hot summer day outside." Or: "Great weather." Or: "Unbearable heat." Or: "Excellent weather for going to the beach!". There are many ways to talk about a hot summer day, and each of them carries its own emotional coloring, which means it determines our attitude to the weather outside the window and determines our future behavior. The same is true of any event happening around us.
This is where the biggest problem arises - we always think in the same way that we are used to and do not even think about the possibility of looking at a familiar phenomenon from a different angle.
It turns out a very interesting situation. Thousands of people live with each other, communicate, but at the same time, everyone considers his way of thinking as the most faithful and only possible. At the same time, almost no one even thinks that you can think differently.
Therefore is development of thinking it is to learn to think differently, to make your thinking more flexible.
Starting to develop thinking is very simple - take some problem that has been bothering you for a long time, but you cannot find a solution to it. Think about it differently, then again change the point of view, and then again and again. In the end, you will find the way that can solve your problem.
In general, the very emergence of a problem is usually associated with the wrong thinking, the wrong approach to solving it.
Ways to develop thinking
1. Recall children's tasks where you need to find a way out of the maze. If you go the wrong way, you will reach a dead end, and you can come to the exit only by returning to one of the forks. In the same way and should develop thinking.
2. Take a closer look at how other people think (speak or write). Try to think about how each of them, perhaps one of these ways you enjoy.
3. You can also explore the different ways of thinking described in literature - artistic and psychological.
4. Try to bring together the ways of thinking that you have learned about and based on them, to create your own way of thinking, most likely, it will be closest to you.
But the most important thing is not to dwell on any of the ways of thinking that you have found, since each of them is suitable for successfully solving only certain situations.
The meaning of the development of thinking is not to find the ideal way of thinking, but to make your thinking more plastic, as diverse as possible, because the more thinking you have, the more problems you have, you will be ready .
It is believed that rich people and poor, happy and unhappy people think in completely different ways, learn to think differently, develop your thinking and most likely find the way of thinking that will help you become successful and happy.
