overcoming mindsets

In order for me to break out my creativity I have to overcome my mindset, not be thinking normally and rationally but OUTSIDE THE BOX. When I want to design something I imagine something that no one would expect, all people like the element of surprise, normal is so boring but being creative and intuitive leads to inspirational ideas that can change the world. if you get outside of your comfort zone your thoughts can progress into real life, there is nothing wrong with putting your own unique spin onto something as it becomes unique and in demand. Overcoming mindsets has happened for years as none of the great inventions we have today would have been around if it wasn't for crazy thinkers who used their wacky ideas to make (televisions. mobile phones, computers,electricity) the list is endless.
Three rules to overcoming your mindset:
1. Think about rules that you would like to break
and study their characteristics.
2. Find ways to challenge or change the rules by
questioning (What if ? Why not?)
3. Be playful and free yourself from conventions
and preconceptions. Avoid assumptions.
In order for your 'outside the box' ideas to succeed, research is needed to test the water to see if the idea fits into the world otherwise it could go wrong. For my groups magazine to be successful we as a group will have to overcome our mindset to think of new, interesting, creative  inotive ideas to publish in the magazine and make sure it fits in with the market it will be aimed at.
