Questions to ask when you get stuck

A recent issue of The Sunday Soother newsletter ran a list of “high-quality questions to determine high-quality answers” to help you get unstuck from a sticky situation. Here’s the first half of the list:

  • Am I attempting to mind-read somebody else’s intentions in this situation?

  • How could I give myself what I’m hoping this other person will give me?

  • Is this thought arising from shame or fear? What is a thought I can have from self-compassion or hope instead?

  • Can I name three things I need right now?

  • Can I name three things I could let go of right now?

  • Can I figure out a way to make this 5% easier on myself?

  • What answer feels easiest to me?

  • What if what felt right to me, was right?

  • Who may be benefiting from how I am thinking or feeling right now?
