Ask yourself a question and watch “the rest” of you answer it

February 11th, 2010 Kevin Leave a comment Go to comments

Questions frame issues for us.

Once we ask them, they are very hard to neglect. This is particularly true when we ask questions of ourselves. For even more impact, we can ask them out loud. If we do that, then they will really stick around for a while.

Once we ask them, questions help “us” because “we” work overtime to get the answers.

Asking the questions helps us find the answers. In fact, we actually work overtime to get them answered. And I’m not just talking about our conscious mind. I mean the rest of “us” too, that 90% or more of “us” that lies outside the control of our conscious mind. That part of us also “hears” and more likely “senses”  the questions and works overtime to answer them.

So, ask yourself some questions and see what answers pop up.

So the next time you are stumbling on something, for instance a hard to figure out problem or a decision that can go several ways, just spend some time and ask yourself a question about it. For example, if you want to know how to approach a friend with hard to hear news, or if you would like to better understand why something happened one way instead of another, just ask yourself a question about it. And remember, say it out loud for maximum effect.

See how fast you get an answer. Let me know how it goes.
