Is your past keeping you stuck?

Is it your past that keeps you stuck? Or, is it your thinking about your past that keeps you stuck? When you find yourself asking “why” questions. You can bet you are looking backwards for the answers. Start asking yourself  “how” and “by when” questions instead!

Why am I out of shape?

Why do we argue so much?

Why am I alone?

(See what I mean!)

How can I learn more about this?

By when will I have the house repainted?

How much money do I want to save?

By when will we get together for coffee?

(I don’t know about you but I am feeling lighter already!)
