Whether it’s in the form of a mental question or a self care journal prompts, asking yourself questions is a key part of changing your life. The moment I found questions for myself, in the parts of my life I found the hardest, the more I learnt to change. And permanently change. Not go back to old routines which can be a big road block sometimes.
Finding the questions that suit you and work for you is something that happens over time. For the most part, I’ve found questions and changed them to suit me. And I’ve found that works really well.
So even if some of these don’t feel right for you, change them up. Sometimes you might even find yourself changing them accidentally (which always happens to me) and thinking that’s how the question was initially!
Tony Robbins gives a great speech on the power of questions and how it changes your focus. Questions also forces you to stop and really think. It’s the self awareness the comes out of questions that gives it power to create change.
