Albert Einstein said: "If I had one hour for the solution of any problem and my life would depend on its resolution, I would spend the first 55 minutes trying to formulate the question." And he was right: the competent formulation of the question - the most important step on the way to solve problems and achieve goals.
Layfhaker chose seven questions from the book "Important Years" and "Be the best version of yourself." They should ask themselves every person.
1. I give to the world?
The main question today is this: how do you convey to the world that you get from it?
The success of human ultimately determined that he is willing to give to the world.
Dan Waldschmidt (Dan Waldschmidt), author of "Be the best version of yourself"
So, what you give to the world? What do you create? Do not be lazy and write down on paper the answer to this question. This is not necessarily something monumental or visible. For example, you can understand that it is best you get to maintain strong relationships within your family. And write. Which coin you pay to the world? You just ASSUME or willing to give?
2. What do I want really?
Everyone has an inner voice that whispers about the desires and dreams. Strengthen it. Record on stickers all arising in the mind desires. Whatever they may be - great, silly, strange, funny, - write them down.
Some will be fleeting, and some will lock and will sound in my head louder and more frequent. It is you yourself and your true desires. Do not listen to what others say about what you want. If you want to - do!
The second method comes from the reverse. Get rid of anything that you do not want to do and what you do not need. Write on a piece of all the commitments, beliefs, that is, all the "must" that you have. Then answer yourself three questions for each "must":
- Where does it come from?
- Currently, whether it?
- Do I want to follow him?
Cross out all the beliefs that do not suit you. Thus you will loose time and space for yourself this.
3. How can otmazyvatsya?
Almost any of our desire, which is contrary to the brain ideas about security, any action that is to somehow get us out of the comfort zone, meet powerful resistance. This is called the power of resistance.
Brain our way out of your comfort zone like wildfire. To avoid this, it directs its fire calculations in the form of excuses. Now listen and hear their loud signal. This they go, and your mind starts to pour fire foam in the form of excuses:
- On the street so ugly, let's stay at home ...
- Go away from work - you will be hungry!
- Do not open the business. None of your friends does not work.
- "Do not go out of the room. Do not make a mistake "(fire foam Brodsky).
- Do not go to this training. And you do not have enough money to survive until the end of the month.
All this - the resistance force. How often this protective response prevents you live?
4. What gives me the most energy?
In the book "Important Years" Meg Jay (Meg Jay) writes: "To understand that we love the most, is very simple. Favorite things give us the greatest amount of energy. "
This means that care must be taken, at what moments you have the most energy. For example, if you feel the rise when the paint pictures - paint a picture. If you feel that you have the most energy when you organize big events - organize them. If you feel a surge of strength in the gym, do that.
Do not try to follow the imposed path and become a lawyer, because it wanted your parents. Or because you have read the rating "The most popular profession of the future." Follow the energy - and your passion is sure to find a way out.
5. Important or urgent?
Sometimes we get tired so much of everything that did not even want to get up in the morning. We did not experience any desires. Complete apathy. All this is happening because we drive ourselves into the swamp of obligations, of which we can not escape. Due to the fact that we often do what is necessary, not what we want, we stop anything at all want.
We miss this moment, because the frantic pace of our lives does not allow to stop and think about themselves and their dreams. And, most importantly, about our priorities. And what are the real priorities for you? Perhaps it is a career, changing the world for the better, a strong family, health, favorite thing ...
Harmony with will allow you to put the most important thing in my life in the first place and do not stray from the course.
6. I grow or degrade?
Man always wants to grow. Sideways at random - anywhere. If a person does not grow, it degrades. And point. That is why it is so important to constantly evolve in their business. If we do not make efforts and not to complicate the task of every day, we are degrading.
All around tends to increase. If the root of the tree to block the growth, putting on him a concrete slab, then what will happen? The tree begins to grow sideways. Similarly, in humans. Degradation - is the same height. one side only.
The more you listen to yourself and do what you said an inner voice, the more harmonious you. Have the courage to admit what you want or do not want to actually. As well as the courage to be true to yourself. Then no other motivation will not be you need.
7. I often read books?
How many books have you read this year? And in the past? That's enough, or can read more? Ask yourself important questions often and read smart and useful book. Word is eternal, and that the book will always be the quickest way to pump your mind and skills, without making their own mistakes. Look for interesting books on the shelves in the cozy coffee shops, at home with friends and parents, scroll vivid edition in bookstores, ask friends to recommend their favorite books.
