Sometimes, having plunged into a routine, we lose touch with ourselves, stop seeing prospects, fall into apathy and even depression. A few correct and timely asked questions can help shake oneself, wake up the brain, and gain new desires and goals.
Instruction manual
one
If you are confused and do not know which direction to choose, for example, in a profession, use the cognitive technique of "getting to the truth" to discover and release your true motives. Make a list of five to seven answers to the question "what do I want?". Then, for each item, ask yourself “why?” at least ten times, until you find yourself at the level of values and beliefs.
2
If you already have a goal, but you are delaying the implementation of specific actions, ask yourself two classic questions in cognitive therapy: What will happen if I do what I plan? And what happens if I don’t? Detailing: What are the changes in my life and the lives of my loved ones? Positive, negative? This reveals fears that prevent you from moving forward.
3
Create an image of an unattractive future. Ask yourself: what will happen if I stay where I am now? And then? So what is next? Come in your imagination to an answer that will cause a strong sense of rejection, to a picture of such a future with which you cannot reconcile.
