Do you ask yourself dangerous questions?

We ask ourselves questions all day long…

Do these jeans make me look fat?
Does he even love me?
Am I doing enough?
Why is this so hard?
How come I'm not where I should be yet?
Why don't i have [insert goal] yet?

But look at them closer, and you will soon see them for what they really are:
Lethal thoughts disguised as Innocent questions!

Busted!
Questions can be the most powerful tools for your brain to find solutions!

But add a negative bias to them, and they will become the most dangerous weapons.

In fact, as a protection mechanism, the brain will often pull the joker card and simply answer:

I don't know!

And with that sentence, you have just closed the door to your own genius.

Do that once or twice, and it can quickly become a negative loop.

So how do you transform this tool into a powerful resource?

You become creative and ask yourself empowering questions.
What jeans will make me feel good today?
How can I make him love me more?
Is there something I have not thought of yet?
How can I make this easier for myself?
What little step can I celebrate today?
What step did I take towards [insert goal] today?

Inspiring questions will give you inspiring answers!
You have your own Chat GTP; how you formulate the question will dictate the answer.

Your brain wants to give you the most amazing ideas. At the least, you are permitting it to take a guess!

That is how you activate brain power.

Now, I'll admit it takes commitment and practice to check your thoughts.

Like when you learned to brush your teeth, and at the beginning, someone had to remind you to do it in the morning and at night!

Now your brain just does it, and it will take at least 5 margaritas for you to forget to brush your teeth!
(I'm a lightweight, so in my case, just two will do. )

One aspect of coaching is learning to observe your thoughts and then remembering to do so until you can coach yourself out of threatening questions.

Much love,
