I combined #1 (”what is awesome about this situation?”) with one of my personal meditations, which I think gives it a useful twist.

Basically, I replace “awesome” with different positive words. I find that different words resonate differently (personally, ‘what is *excellent* about this situation?’ feels stronger).

Also, changing the word keeps the exercise fresh and interesting, and expands the range of possible responses.

For my meditation I have (and continue to collect) and list of words that would work. I go through it alphabetically to not miss any. So I’d use your #1 like this:

– What is awesome about this situation?
– What is beautiful about this situation?
– What is creative about this situation?
– What is delightful about this situation?
.
.
etc

I do it in a slow and casual way, so it might take the whole day to get through the alphabet – and that assuming I remember to do it. By comparing each word to the present moment, I reinforce that state in myself.

Hope this is useful!

Inspiring post!

Can I use your post to make a Powerpoint slideshow of it and publish it on Slideshare?

Looking forward to visualizing your post.

Cheers,

Franklin

These are all good questions to be thinking about, especially at this time of year. I practice Chinese Medicine and it is all about finding balance in your health and your choices.

Thanks for all the feedback and the excellent questions you added!

Paula: Excellent additions, both questions are really potent and I especially like the second one since thinking about how you can start taking action right now towards your goal is so important to get there and to just get started.

marko: Good one, it’s easy to lose yourself in your own assumptions and start to build all kinds of unnecessary and negative things from that mistake.

Mark: Great point on why questions are so helpful.

Aimee: I agree, gratitude is really important.

Hi Henrik, you have compiled the questions very well. I think the keyword is ‘right’, such as do the right things and do things right.
These questions is very helpful for contemplating what we have done and what we have to do.

Hi Aimee, I agree with you, always be grateful, count our blessing.
