SETTING YOURSELF FREE FROM THE OLD OR SET BEHAVIOR PATTERNS

STEP ONE:

Create a brief one sentence for your challenge/task/problem/goal.

STEP TWO:

On a fresh sheet of paper write down what you WISH you could do to address this challenge/task/problem/goal if there were NO rules or regulations/laws or limitations of any kind or type.

STEP THREE:

Select a fanciful idea you wrote down that appeals to you a great deal (for any reason) and develop it a bit, make it more specific.

STEP FOUR:

Now take the still seemingly speculative/fanciful/playful idea and write down how it might be accomplished.

Imagine that the speculative/fanciful/playful, even off-the-wall/far-out/strange idea was accomplished, you won, you got what you wanted. Now work backwards and write down how it might have been accomplished. If a practical detail causes a hang-up leave that blank and continue backing up. That may be a spot for a breakthrough yet discovered or realized.

The first approach is called simply DEDUCTIVE thinking, you are deducing to a result.

The second approach is called simply INDUCTIVE/REDUCTIVE/PROJECTIVE thinking, you are inducing, reducing, projecting to a potential/probable result.
