4 Questions To Ask Yourself and help check Your Motives
On the road to self-improvement, from time to time, we need to pause to talk with ourselves. This will help us determine what it will take for us to grow. To begin, here are four questions to ask yourself;
- Have you ever considered the impact of your decisions?
Every choice you make has some impact on your life, even if it does not seem that way. Some actions have a clear effect, such as deciding to end a relationship or accepting a new job while others are more subtle. For instance, if you decide to sleep in 20 minutes past your alarm every morning, you might be robbing yourself of the opportunity to improve your life through morning exercise. You do not need to be doing incredible things at all hours of the day. But you do need to understand how deciding to do or not do something will always have some sort of effect, even if you don’t realize it at the time.
2.) How do you act around others?
It’s easy to judge others for what you perceive as their shortcomings. Our bad habits and other flaws are easier to overlook and we might not realize we have them. Think about how you act around others. Sincerely, it can be sad to realize that we are not as reputable as we thought we were. However, taking action to remedy this can have a terrific impact on our lives.
- What motivates you the most?
Aside from the need to sustain ourselves through the basic necessities of life, we all have different things that keep us going in life. Some of us are driven by a desire to influence others; some are motivated by love; and some others, by gaining knowledge. When you are looking to better yourself, one of the questions to ask yourself is what motivates your decisions. You need to think about how they are impacting the journey you mapped out for your life.
- What’s something you have always wanted to do?
Procrastination is the thief of time. Procrastination is something that many people struggle with and can be a major obstacle to self-improvement. Instead of being baffled by the idea of completing a task, make an actionable step towards starting it. When you question yourself in a non-judgemental manner, you can open your mind and realize how your actions have been affecting your life up to this point.
