Possibility is about the ability to see something in your imagination and materialize it in real life.
But our imagination is limited by what we already know. Your brain is a repository of all your prior experience — it’s mapped with all your cumulative emotional, cognitive, and motor experience to at least age twenty-five. This means your memories define how you perceive, process, and act. But being tied down to the familiar keeps you from seeing new possibilities.
How does it work?
The downloadable activity will walk you through a creative exercise that will help you practice letting go of what you know so that you can see new possibilities. The activity is written to be used in the classroom, but it can be done with any group or on one’s own.
