Each day allows you to make your life a little better or worse. Most of us are too focused on surviving another day or too distracted to focus on the things that matter the most to us.

Asking yourself questions is a great way to focus your attention and set your priorities. When you ask yourself something, your brain can’t help but try to answer it. Give it something worthwhile to respond to.

Regularly asking yourself meaningful questions can change your focus and your life.

Consider asking yourself these questions:

1. What is the most important thing I need to accomplish? Maximizing each day is necessary to achieve your goals. What are the most important things you need to accomplish? How you spend your time determines the quality of your life. Asking yourself this question each morning will allow you to design your day around your most important goals.

2. What am I tolerating? We tolerate too much and learn to be tough, indifferent, and tolerant. But all the things that get on your nerves take their toll after a while. You are the only person who will consistently have your best interests at heart. What are you tolerating?

● Bad relationship?

● A stove with a broken burner?

● A dead bush in front of your house?

● A terrible boss?

● An extra 30 pounds?

3. What problems or challenges do I foresee happening in the future? Most of the challenges we face in life aren’t surprises. We can predict they have a good chance of happening. We’d instead not address them or even think about them. It’s easier to prevent a disaster than to deal with it. Look into the future and be proactive.

4. What mistakes did I make today? If you never repeated a mistake, it would take a little while before you were a remarkably successful person. Think of how much better your relationships would be. Think of how much better you would be at your job. Identify your mistakes and make a decision not to make them again.

5. What am I grateful for? This question puts you in a great frame of mind. It reminds you that your life is already pretty good. It also gives you the courage to take intelligent risks. Gratitude is a powerful state in which to address the world.

6. What am I looking forward to? You’ll feel excited and enthusiastic if you have something exciting to look forward to. If you don’t, you’ll realize that you need to make plans to do, see, or receive something exciting in the future.

7. What do I want to change about myself? We must grow and change in new ways depending on what we want to accomplish. Our most remarkable ability is the ability to adapt. How do you adjust so your world becomes what you want it to be?

How long would it take to ask yourself these questions each day? Five minutes? Do you have five minutes available each day to change your life for the better? What do you predict would happen if you asked yourself these questions each day?

If you use these questions regularly, they will make a difference in your life. Take control of your focus by asking yourself the right questions each day. What other questions would be valuable?
