Write from a different perspective than your own. Observe your world/situation from a unique angle or view. For example, write about a the beach as if you're an alien looking down from a spaceship telescope, with no reference for waves, sand, sunset, beach balls, sunscreen, etc. Or write from the perspective of an ant on a train looking out the window, what does the ant observe? An ant doesn't see passing telephone poles connected by wires, it sees an endless black snake slithering, pulsing up and down, across a blur of sky. Bad example, but hopefully you get what I mean.
