In DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) this is called accessing the wise mind. A basic technique is to write down a question, and then, while pretend you are someone you admire (Jesus, Einstein, Darth Vader, whoever) write down a responsive answer.

And yes, this is subtly what the whole What Would Jesus Do? movement was about.
