WHY?- A Revolutionary Question to Change Your Perspective

Recently I was working with someone who had a negative outlook and wasn’t feeling happy. 

So I asked a pivotal question. Why did you choose this experience?

This was game-changing for my client.

To ask the question, “Why is my soul doing this for me? Why have I chosen to experience this; what is the benefit?” is a profound way to gain perspective on a situation. 

For example in this client’s situation, people kept telling her that they were put off by her morose mood, by her repetition of her sob story.  Speaking negatively was turning off the people around and her they were letting her know. 

BUT inside this woman knows that SHE truly wants to feel better, appreciate her life more, and learn to think and speak more positively. 

The people in her life were just MIRRORING her positive intentions for herself! Now, instead of being put off by them, or blaming them, she can recognize the good guidance that she is receiving as something that she actually WANTS to hear and put into practice. 

Are you plagued by negative self talk? Do other people let you know that you would do well to make a positive change? Visit my Positive Thinking E-Course for help with this!
