9 Ways to Spark a Breakthrough

Share

The work week may be wrapping up but that doesn’t mean you can’t still push the boundaries and create a breakthrough. 

Via The Huffington Post comes an article about 9 ways to spark a breakthrough – which ones speak to you? Personally, I like: 

8. Cultivate Wonder
“Many of the world’s inventions don’t come from people simply working
hard and throwing themselves at a project,” says life coach Kathlyn
Hendricks, PhD. “They come from wonder — from curiosity and a
willingness to be delighted. That is your fuel source and your
reservoir, and most people need to practice it at least 10 minutes a
day.” The best way to shake free of your usual thinking patterns,
Hendricks adds, is to make the sound hmmm aloud. “It’s impossible to
criticize yourself when you’re making that sound,” she says. “Follow it
up with a question: ‘Hmmm, I wonder what the company logo should look
like. Hmmm, I wonder if I need a Web site. Hmmm, I wonder if I can….'”
The answers will often launch you into new territory.
