Asking yourself the right questions can be a powerful way to help you rediscover the real YOU.

Self-questioning helps you reconnect with who you really are, identify any beliefs that are holding you back and get clear on what you truly want for yourself and your life.

Whenever I’m ready to change or redesign my life, I ask myself a lot of questions to help me connect to my truest self. Before any of us can create change in our lives, we must first know who we are on the inside.

As you become more connected with your truest self, you’ll gain the clarity you crave for your next steps.

Without going through this process of self-assessment, you’re bound to remain confused about who you truly are, what you really want and how to make it happen.

To make this process easier for you, I’m sharing some of the coaching questions I use with myself and my clients who are redesigning their own lives.

Here are some suggestions on how to use self-coaching questions to get the most positive results for yourself.

Set time aside to explore one question a day, one a week or complete them all in an intensive writing session. Choose whatever works best for you.

Find a quiet, cozy space to write where you feel relaxed and calm. Ask for Divine guidance to give you the clarity, wisdom or direction you seek and open your mind to receive.

Read each question out loud, close your eyes and allow the answers to come to you. Quickly write down any thoughts that come to your mind without editing. After each answer you receive, ask yourself if there is anything else. Keep asking and writing until you feel “done.”.

Some of your answers may feel uncomfortable or misaligned with what you thought you wanted or who you thought you were. That’s okay. We all have preconceived ideas or beliefs about what we think is true for ourselves and our lives. Try not to let those beliefs and fears to get in the way of being authentic and honest in how you respond. Being real with yourself is the only way to create positive change and move forward to design a better life.

If you get stuck on a question and don’t have an answer, just skip it for now. Sometimes the answer will come to you when you at a later time.

Begin with the positive expectation that you’ll receive everything you need from these questions and this process.
