EINSTEIN MEETS THE MOUSE MEISTER  


                                        What would Walter do?  Walt Disney, that is! 

The ‘Mouse Meister’ divided goal achievement into 4 parts.  Enjoy this combination of Disney’s strategy and coaching, guided with an Einstein quote, “You cannot solve a problem using the same level of thinking that was used to create the problem.” 

So…   First, know your desired goal.  Be specific and write down behaviors and skills necessary to complete your goal.   

Second, explore the long term effects of reaching your goal.  Ask, “Why do I want this- what will it get me?”  Identify values and criteria satisfied by achieving this goal.   

Third, identify blocks.  Answer the question, “What stops me?”  This includes attitudes, beliefs, AND skills.   

Fourth, find the cause of the block.  Ask, “WHY does this block stop me from fulfilling my dream?”   “Is there anything so important to me that I would not give it  up, even if  I reached my goal?” 

Identify values, beliefs, or criteria that conflict with your goal.   

Now remove blocks one at a time.   

    1. Identify a personal resource that, if present, would eliminate the CAUSE of your block.  Patience?  Resourcefulness?  Acceptance?  A new skill?   

    2. Create a ‘symbol’ for that resource and keep it with you as you VIVIDLY imagine having that resource in place, doing the things that move you towards your goal.  Exaggerate how it is for you, now, with that resource in place with sights, sounds, and physical/emotional feelings.     
    3. Check for hidden sabotage.  Ask, “Is there a deeper motivation, stronger than the cause of my block AND for having what my goal will get for me?”     if so, repeat the procedure, accessing needed resources to eliminate each block.
