Yet by simply recalling her brief story/experience, I had completely flipped the angle from which I viewed not only my project, but other obstacles too, and wondered how I had slipped back into this limited way of thinking.

It was interesting that a friend of mine said that to help her come up with new project ideas her supervisor instructed her to write down anything, as many ideas as possible, no matter how daft or fundamentally wrong they may be, for her project. However, with my project I had almost in a subconcious rut developed a train of thought which meant i would think for new ideas based on existing questions and limitations on what was achievable in the lab.
