One Creative Thinking Strategy that has worked for me for many years has been the improvement and change of my perspective.

Think of 4 tools that can help you change your perspective or improve your perception capabilities.

The four I am thinking about are... 1. magnifying glass
2. microscope
3. telescope
4. teleidoscope (sp?) (no objects or colored glass simply 5 mirrors and 1 glass panel)

A magnifying glass or lens can help me see things closer so that I can see additional or previously unseen detail.

A microscope can open me to worlds I did not know existed based on my eyes alone.

A telescope can help me see things beyond this world.

A teleidoscope can help me see designs and patterns in everyday things.

What might your four tools be? How might they enrich, expand, deepen, or increase your creativeness or creative abilities?
