These 7 Questions Will Change
Your Life
How do we achieve internal
clarity and self-awareness? By asking ourselves some very important questions.
At the end of every day or
week comes the important act of self-reflection. Without this brief moment of pause, our moral and
spiritual growth would be undeniably stilted. How, then, do we go about
achieving such internal clarity and self-awareness? Usually through the act of
self-questioning. Read on for 7 questions you should be asking yourself every
day.
1.
What did I do well?
The
easiest question to start with is the positive one, by far. We get off on the
right foot and ease our way into self-critique, arguably one of the hardest
tasks to voluntarily and honestly complete.
2.
What could I have done better?
Looking back, pick out the things that really jump out at
you. Was
there a moment at work where you made a mistake and everyone noticed? Did you
wake up late four days in a row? Have you been fighting all week with your
family and are just now realizing you were wrong? Analyze the things that you
did wrong so that you may begin the acceptance process of your actions--this is
a big step toward improvement.
3.
Why were these tasks so challenging?
After understanding and accepting your action
comes attacking it for the better. Only after we figure out the why can
we begin getting to the root of the problem, and begin solving it.
4.
How have I gotten closer to my life goals?
This question is to remind us that, no matter
how small or seemingly trivial the action, everything we put out really does matter. Sometimes we just
have to dig a little deeper to see the results.
5.
What are two things I really enjoyed about the experience?
When
reflecting, figuring out why you felt a certain way is very important. In fact,
why you feel a certain way might actually reveal more about yourself than the
actions themselves.
6.
What was my biggest waste of time?
Figure
out those things that bore you so much that you keep putting them off by doing
other things, also known as procrastination. Simply knowing what you do or
don't like can set you up for future success.
7.
What made me feel fulfilled?
When asking this question, try to focus on the things that give you long-term
fulfillment, not
just a quick fix of pleasure. Quick fixes are like a sugar high that lasts just
a few hours before you crash. Once you are able to answer this question, only
then can you begin looking for ways in which to fulfill yourself.
