Alter ego

There is a point when you must see yourself as something different. Maybe it's just your fantasy, but it does reveal something about yourself.

Try thinking that you had two personalities. What would you name him? How does he think? This somehow shows your desires, goals and ambitions.

Try switching personalities for some situations. Like at home your, a lazy guy who wants to relax and have fun, but when you write a novel, you're the most badass guy on the planet.

This works well when you somehow need to reconsider how you act in a situation. You know where you suck, so let the genius take care of it.
