Change Your Point of View to Boost Imagination

POV and Writing Creativity

Spatial Mental Flexibility and Relations

Change your point of view - go Meta!

See yourself writing; while you are writing. Float up above yourself and watch yourself writing - this will separate you from all the "not good enough" feelings that just night be involved in what's blocking you from your creativity.

Rather than empty instructions to "remove your ego or blah, blah blah…" — here's exactly how to do that — as you are sitting there writing, move your conscious focus point outside your body. Imagine looking at yourself, as you're sitting there.

What do you imagine you look like… look from in front (like looking in a mirror), from the side or from behind yourself… Move to wherever works best to get some distance from the pressure that you put on yourself. That might be floating up and back behind your head a bit, or watching yourself from the side… etc. Experiment!

Just imagine watching yourself in a video — at the same time as you are looking through your eyes at the world.

If you have trouble with this, jump to the article on ImageStreaming… practicing that will ramp up your ability to visualize — fast! With some practice you will find that you can instantly change your point of view and detach yourself from your writing and let your unconscious just take over, doing the writing for 'you'.

Are you asking, If I do this, am I still doing it?

MmmHmm. You bet, because it is your unconscious mind, isn't it? You are more than just your conscious mind and intellect!
