A TECHNIQUE FOR FINDING NEW IDEAS TO ACHIEVE A GOAL
Method #1 - using metaphorical maps
1. Choose a goal that you're having difficulty achieving.
2. Examine the images on the cards and choose two of them. One should symbolize the way things are now, and the other should symbolize the goal you want to reach.
3. answer your own questions:
- Why did you choose these particular cards?
- What emotions and associations do they evoke?
- How do they relate to the situation you are in?
- What is the most important difference between the two images?
- How does this describe the difference between your current and desired state in real life?
Now turn the remaining cards upside down and randomly select one more card. This card will answer the question, "How do you get from your current point to your desired point?
5. Answer yourself the questions:
- What does the new image associate with?
- What actions could it symbolize?
