情緒低落時,把自己放在一個角落,甚麼都不想做 ... 有試過這個情況嗎?試試看內文的方法,向自己發問一些問題,或能略為改變原本負面的焦點,從而找回動力去行動及改善現況呢。
"The best way to control your focus is through the power of questions."
"We ask ourselves questions all day long. Our questions control our focus, how we think, and how we feel."
"Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
—Matthew 7:7"
"These questions prepare me to look for and find solutions whenever a problem comes up.
The Problem-Solving Questions:
1. What is great about this problem?
2. What is not perfect yet?
3. What am I willing to do to make it the way I want it?
4. What am I willing to no longer do in order to make it the way I want it?
5. How can I enjoy the process while I do what is necessary to make it the way I want it?
If you have trouble answering any of these questions, use the word 'could'.
Example: "What could I be most happy about in my life right now?"
"I also ask myself a specific set of questions in the morning when I get up and another set of questions at night before I go to sleep. They set me up for feeling great all day and end my days on a high note."

3. What am I proud of in my life right now? What about that makes me proud? How does that make me feel?

"These questions have been lifesavers for me. They will help you change your focus—and can help you change your life."
"... focus was determining the meaning. In any situation, you can focus on what will make you feel better or on what will make you feel worse—and whatever you look for you'll find."
