USING ONE POWER QUESTION

"A person's life is determined by the quality of the questions he asks himself (and others)."
                                                                    
                                                                                                           Unknown (Robbins says this, too.)

The default question we ask ourselves is most often "how can I relieve this stress?" and its variations using such words as discomfort, urge, uncomfortability.  But if one allows oneself to be run by one's lower brains, which I call, on the site, Dumb and Dumber, then one will live a life based on answers that are pretty darned dumb.

Now, I have gone back and forth on which power questions to ask.  I have often tried to use alot of great questions, but I soon forget them - and, of course, stop using them. 

But I can remember the following one powerful question - and I've now used it successfully:

"What would my higher brain have me do?"

And when I ask that, the answer is clear - and it pulls me away from my "natural" frame of mind of doing whatever is easiest for relief or distraction (or some other "dumb" move).   And the answer leaves no debate.  It is clear.  And then I can simply do what I'm doing, with peace of mind and no resistance.

Simple, yet extremely, extremely powerful for running one's life on. 

May the "force" (of intelligence) be on your side!

If I don't ask and answer this question, I tend to do the following, among many:

I eat the ice cream available.

I fool around to stimulate my brain, instead of just resting when I am tired.  (Love Spider Solitaire, but using it results in some really stupid time use.)

I put things off (often until I "feel like doing it" or it's a "better time"). 

Go off on something of faux interest and/or non-usefulness, blowing the time I could use for something I really do value.

Do you tend to do anything of those things?
