Day by Day: 35 Questions to Change your Life…

 

The following thirty-five "reminder" questions are all you need to easily re-create your life, step by step,

into a joy felt naturally in the daily living of your life.

In answering each question, give yourself a percentage score

(like 100% for all the time or 30% for only 30% of the time). Some questions could be divided into two of more questions.

If helpful, answer each of these separately (like #12). Recommendation: choose five questions a day.

Every seven days you'll go through all 35 questions

to ask and answer for yourself.

Asking and answering these questions

takes less than three minutes a day.

Spoiler alert: see question #34.

 

26. Am I remembering that others are just trying

to take care of themselves the best they know how?

​

27. Am I using the Partnership Conversation* 

whenever I have a conflict with another?

​

28. Am I avoiding toxic words* like good, bad, right, wrong, fair, unfair, difficult, obligation, not good enough, 

should, and shouldn’t?

​

29. Am I bringing play, adventure, curiosity, and gratitude to each moment of my day?

​

30. Am I accepting that everyone's choices (including mine)

are not right or wrong, not good or bad,

but have costs, benefits, risks, and possibilities,

for themselves and for others,

both short-term and long-term?
