What if we could drive change with good questions?
I learned about using questions to set intentions from Elizabeth Lombardo, the author of A Happy You, who regularly joined me for a monthly podcast.
During stressful situations, I also realized asking a good question helped me find my calm. For instance, during a particularly difficult situation four years ago, I asked myself this question: In what wonderful and lucrative way will this situation work out for me?
Ultimately, the situation worked out for me in a wonderful, lucrative way.
That experience convinced me that I had a strategy that I needed to keep using. I committed to that strategy by writing The Sunday Question newsletter. I then pulled those questions into a journal called The Sunday Question.
I transformed that strategy into a workshop which I so enjoyed presenting yesterday at the Illinois Pioneer Coalition Annual Summit. The workshop, Asking the Right Questions to Drive Change, helped attendees create a practice of using good questions to gain insights into resolving a current workplace challenge.
As a thank you to attendees, I made the Kindle version of The Sunday Question available for free.
It's still free today! I'd love to you to download the journal to start your habit of applying intentional questions to your days.
What's a strategy you use to manage your stressful days?
I didn't get a chance to load it, but will look it up weekly. Again, thanks for putting it out there. It's the little things that seem overwhelming sometimes. Like keeping up with reading things that would benefit me. Too much of the time, so exhausted, but reminded of an old Gary Larsen cartoon... Classroom setting, guy raises hand asking, " Mr Osborne may I be excused my brain is full..."
Grateful trusting Jesus & believing that there's grace enough for the one I'm caring for and for me. God is good ALL of the time. Especially when I'm not feeling it.
Thank you!
