Training Your Mind To Ask The Right Questions



Curiosity is an art of asking the right questions.

When you encounter a problem, what questions do you ask?

Is it these:

"Why is this happening to me?"

"What did I do to deserve this?"

"Am I not good enough?"

"Did I do the wrong thing?"

"Why are they doing this to me?"

Or these:

"Why did I feel this way to my problems?"

"What lessons can I learn from them?"

"How can I do better next time?"

"How can I not repeat the same mistake again next time?"

"What response should I choose that is kinder to myself?

"Can I turn this into a positive growth?"

"Is there a gem of opportunity hidden in this sea of crisis?"

When you switch the questions from the first group to the latter, you are igniting your curious mind. And a curious mind is a powerful machine in invention and creation.

If you pay further attention to the first group of questions, you will noticed that they are asked from a victimised mindset.

Taking the blame on oneself and the whole world for what had happened. The subsequent flow of this thought energy inevitably goes into depression and non-action.

The second group of questions is a growth mindset, they are always about room for improvement. Not focusing on what has failed but future successes powered by these experiences.

Meditation is a journey inward, paying attention to what your Mind is stirring you up.

Quite often, I will allocate time for contemplative meditation.

It is a quiet time to reflect and take stock on my state of being.

Especially right now with the major lockdown disrupting basic livelihood, I have been on the go for twenty-four seven a day, to think of ways to keep my dream afloat.

But it is important to hold the horse and contemplate, so that the actions are driven by clarity and not urgency.
