Why are questions so powerful?

How do we change our story? 
How do we stay on track with our daily actions? 

These two questions leads from previous articles. This article will shine some light on changing your mind. 

Our minds all work on the same principles. When we think something our brain fires neurons off in a certain pattern in your brain. 
Lets use this example:
A small child was attacked by a dog when the child was around 4 years old. This child suffers from trauma ever since the attack. 
Now you get another child. This child was never attacked and only have loving memories of dogs. 

How do we process the 2 different scenarios? Well, our brain fires off the neurons in a certain pattern in order to get to those emotions of fear or joy. The child who is afraid of dogs fires a fear based pattern off while the child with loving memories fires off a pattern of joy. 
Both are seeing the same thing, a dog, but they have different emotions and thoughts around it.

Refer to the picture above. 
This is a simple example of what im explaining. 

So, if circumstances can influence what we think and feel, then surely we should be able to link different feelings to the circumstance? Change what we associate with the picture, the "incident". 

How do we do that? 
Now that is the right question to ask? 

HOW...

Your brain is made to analyse and resolve problems. The problem is we are giving it bad problems to solve. 
Like, why am i poor? 
Answer: Your a lazy couch potato. Or not taking enough action. 
Or
Why am i fat? 
Answer: Because you are a pig. you eat everything you see. You don't love yourself. etc. Hen you just become more depressed. 

So, the solution? Ask better question? 

  • How can i become thin and fit and enjoy the process? 
  • How can i make more money in a loving and joyous way while giving back? 
  • How can i wake up tomorrow and feel even more joy and love in my heart and life? 


Your brain will start working on these problems you present to it. Just keep on asking until you get the right answers to take you to your goals. 
You will soon realize that life is a set of questions. The more successful you become in life, the more refined and to the point your questions become. 

People ask all sort of nonsense to themselves. 

  • Do that person like me. 
  • Im worried my boss don't like me and will replace me. 
  • Im worried my partner is not faithful. 
  • Im worried i will not have enough money for retirement, or just to live. 


These nonsense questions can all be replaced with new, better questions. 

the better questions will also make you feel better than thinking about the stressful questions. 

Here's a good question to ask. 

  • How will it feel for me to live in complete abundance. 
  • What type of thought will i have when i have reached the ideal state? 
  • What type of person do i want to be in 10 years? (Create that person then, and move it forward, be it now. Magic this one.)

By asking your brain questions like this, it will start to build new neuron pathways in your brain. Linking up new emotions to scenarios and thoughts. 

The little child in the example do not have to be afraid of dogs for the rest of their lives. They can link better pathways/emotions to the image. In fact, i have a friend who overcame this. She is one of the most inspirational ladies i know in this regards. She absolutely love dogs and cant get enough of them, Great example of overcoming fears. 

Keep on asking the questions. Your brain will try to go back to the standard thoughts. Keep on keeping on. The change and improvements lie after frustrations, after you want to give up. 

Success is found 1 meter after you gave up. SO never give up. 

Change your questions to make you more confident, to make you more friendly, to make you feel excited for every single day because every day is a wonderful gift and a blessing to be part off. 

Build your new you. You can do it.
