daily thoughts to improve your visual thinking
Posts tagged as:
Today I want to write something different you can do with your mind or visual map. Can you do this exercise in a normal linear format (to do list style)? Sure you can! The only difference is that by using a map you will be able to have a neat and clear overview on one sheet that helps your entire brain.
Again, this is not just talking about mapping information. Today we talk about transforming part of yourself.

This quote is from Emerson. Since you and I are into visualizing our information and thoughts, we know this is a very important line.
You can only change when you know what isn’t right or what holds you back. But before you ‘know’, you have to see it.
This is why mindmaps and related visual thinking methods are so powerful. They help us to visualize our situation.
I am less and less talking to people about mindmaps. It seems that here in The Netherlands most people know about mindmaps. Many people use the system in some way or another (and the ones who don’t…. don’t care).

Most people look at mindmaps as being a nice picture of some information. They see the art of the map. The end result is an image. The end result is art.
Business people look at mindmaps as a cold/logical approach to visualizing all this information they have to deal with. They create the map using the rules and directions of mind mapping, or more in general visual mapping, and they simply create the map: Just follow the steps and you are fine…
The end result is an overview of the information. Sometimes it looks like a real image, often is it just a diagram of schematic overview.
I truly believe mind mapping is more than following the rules of mind mapping that Mr. Tony Buzan writes about in his books.

Whenever you are looking for great ideas, new insights or you are just looking for answers, you should consider using a mindmap for getting results. Of course there are other forms of visual mapping you could consider as well. Let’s focus on the mindmap today. I’m confident you can apply these thoughts on different mapping methods as well.
There are two things you have to consider when you are capturing and overviewing your thoughts. Here they are.

There are a lot of people who stop using mindmaps, conceptmaps and visual maps in general because they get stressed when creating the maps. This is of course very sad and should be prevented. After all… your brain enjoys mind mapping and you should continue using the brain friendly and practical technique.
Therefore I would like to confront you with 6 causes of stress people experience when mind mapping. Here we go:
These are the most common causes of stress people experience when creating mindmaps. I have to tell you that I experienced all of them. Sometimes I have the same feelings again when I look at the maps people create.
As you can see, all these causes are starting with one word, which is YOU!
You are the cause of the stress. The mind mapping technique itself will do wonders for you… if you know how to use it. Since you are the cause, it is YOU who is the solution to reducing or removing stress.

Will You Leave The Safe And Familiar Pond?
Today I returned home riding my bike. On my way, I passed a pond. I watched the birds in this pond often. Since it is spring time, there are many birds nesting and raising their children.
This particular pond I passed is not that pretty. Actually, because of the houses they are building near by, the pond is quite dirty. The water at some places even has a coating of oil and waste. Not a good environment to raise your children (just my thought).
The amazing thing is that there are 2 couples in the pond, a couple of ducks and a couple of swans. I feel especially bad for the swans. Their nice white necks go deep into the water to find food. Even though their swim in dirty water, they remain to be white!
Here’s what I don’t understand.
