• Before embarking this gym, it is important to disrobe all the elements that will impact your creative thinking abilities. Please leave the following in your mental locker:
• All your old habits.
• Outdated traditions.
• Unworthy beliefs.
• Adherence to standard policies.
• All forms of conformity, needless influences and any historical baggage that may be holding you back from letting your creative juices flow.
• Discard the conventional.
• Put aside all past achievements, outdated knowledge and the need for perfection.
• Distance yourself from the pressure of expectations.
• Remove all fears of appearing foolish, making mistakes or being childish.
• Prepare to have fun in a safe environment.
• Our habits and routines by which we solve problems, can become stagnant and significantly reduce our awareness of other possibilities. We see no more than what we’ve been conditioned to see, blocking us from possibilities and restricting our imagination. We often simply yield to old routines and stale thinking habits. The BrainstormGym endeavours to guide you to change your thinking and seeing in this regard. Instead it promotes new ways of discovering unique perspectives which may expedite the breakthrough idea.

• Your suit of armour will protect you and your workout (weaponry) help you break your problem apart and illuminate a kaleidoscope of possibilities.
• Time to open your mind and put on your thinking cap.
• Cultivate a creative conscious by opening up to new methods and experiences.
• Prepare your mind for “chance discoveries” beyond your existing emotions or prejudices.
• Time to use your imagination, consider the outrageous and ponder the unconventional.
• Use "x-ray" vision to see things upside down, inside out and back to front!
• Give yourself the freedom to see what you are not looking for and be ready to find the unexpected. In between the mundane and the everyday lurks unexpected opportunities.
• In this Gym you have the freedom to fantasize about the things that do not exist.
• You are able to regress into childhood to probe, explore and identify possibilities.
• Exaggerate, be weird and go overboard.
• Take risks, be foolish, be rude and break the rules.
• Ignite your imagination and prepare to explore the preposterous, see the exotic, smell the glorious, hear the magnificent, taste the superb, feel the unbelievable and experience the amazing.
• Your mental "suit" will prepare you. Chance favors the prepared mind. Seeing creative cues appear as faint clues, your chance event must be captured and nurtured. The machines will help you find and document those clues.
