Imagination is described by Webster as...The act or power of forming a mental image of something not present to the senses in reality. Albert Einstein said "Logic will get you from A to B, but imagination will take you everywhere."
I never realized it until I read it somewhere but there are ways to boost one's imagination:
Create a visual journal Draw whatever you see for 15 minutes a day. You don't need to be an artist.
Think like an artist Cut out pictures from magazines & piece them together to create an original image.
Listen to Bach Close your eyes while playing your favorite music. Or listen to the sounds of nature on a CD or in the great outdoors.
Play word games Try thinking of as many words as you can that begin with MAR...or you pick.
Daydream Let your mind wander, or focus on a single object & study its characteristics.
I remember those! As a kid, my parents signed up (I think that was the sixties). I remember the originals had a dark cover (reddish?) and the yearbooks were white. There's something about flipping pages and knowing how to use the index that was fun. They were still in my parents house in the ninties. Gone now, of course. So many books that we learned from, gone, too.
