Brain
needs to engage in self-reflection
It helps it to maintain a conscious awareness of where it is, where it
has been and where it intends to go. Through self-reflection, it is able to
see, organize and plan its steps, to reach its desires and dreams. At the
beginning, it can be difficult but once it does, it will have a clearer idea of
who it is and what it really wants in life.
These 10 questions will help us to provoke our brain and force it to
reconsider the way we live and see the world.
1)
What is
worth suffering for?
If we want the benefits of something in life, we have to accept the
costs.
2)
Where can
I expect to be in 5 years?
Our habits define us and ultimately determine what we will eventually
achieve in our lifetime. If we really want to achieve our big goals in 5 years,
then we need to make incremental improvements every single day.
3)
What do I
need to spend more or less time doing going forward?
What is important in our life? So many of us get distracted with
day-to-day tasks that we forget where our main priorities are. Productivity is
not just about getting things done, it is also about getting the right things
done.
4)
What is my
real purpose?
Happiness cannot be pursued, it must ensue and it only does so as the
unintended side effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than
one’s self.” So we must think bigger. We must be a part of something greater.
5)
What I am
pretending not to know?
Many people think that happiness comes from thinking positive all the
time. It does not. Happiness comes from embracing reality and accepting life as
it is. When we stop deceiving ourselves, more possibilities open up to
experience the beauty of the present moment.
6)
What old
rejections are still holding me back today?
We have all had scars and rejections in our life that affect our future
decisions. We must liberate our mind.
7)
What do I
not want others to know about me?
We all have problems and flaws. If we try to hide them, we do not give anyone
a chance to understand us for who we are. Be open about your problems and move
on. The people in our life will see our flaws as signs that we are just as
human as they are.
8)
Are the
people around me helping me or hurting me?
The people around us hold a huge influence on our life. We cannot expect
to live a positive and fulfilling life if the people around us are negative.
9)
How are my
“shoulds” getting in the way of my “haves”?
The desire of our ego are often in conflict with the emotions of our
heart. We must be prepared to let go of what we have planned to appreciate the
moment and what we have right now.
10)
What is
worth smiling about?
We all have a motive to smile. Let us take a second to think about what
we can be grateful for right now. We might realize that we can be happy in the
present moment.
