    Just changing habits can be helpful:

    1) Park a long way away from where you're going, so you walk past stuff you wouldn't normally.

    2) Go to the kind of store you wouldn't normally go. Like, if you usually shop at Walmarts, go to Saks, or vice-versa.

    3) Interview someone who does something you don't do, and learn about it. "How did you get involved in tying fishing flies?"

    4) Read two magazines that are about subjects you're not normally interested in, and that are completely different from each other. Like, Model Railroading and Modern Wedding. Or Redbook and Car and Driver.

    5) Try to connect with someone you don't normally associate with. Like, try to have a long conversation with that Aunt of yours who never really liked you. Or the manager at the local oil change shop.

    6) Read a book off this link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/…

    7) Spend an hour imagining what life would be like if you lived on a different continent, had a different sexual orientation, and had a lot more money.

    8) Go to the library, and have the librarian pick out one random music CD, one random DVD, and one random book. Listen, watch and read them all one right after the other.

    9) Think for an hour about what it would be like to take the place of someone of whom you are really jealous.

    10) Hit your thumb hard with a hammer, and write a screenplay about what happens afterward.
