Lesson 277: Be Clear On What You're Asking
Today is about being precise in the questions you ask with your clearing practises that allows self-nourishment. Your questions should involve a “name, time, place”. For example, rather than asking “Should I clear my home today?” you may ask “Would it serve my highest and best good to clear the bookcase right now?”. There is more precision in the question to allow a better outcome. It also allows you to focus on smaller pieces in order to get to the overall chunk without overwhelming yourself.
I honestly can’t say that I had a need to ask questions today. The only reason I say this is because my day was quite set – go for a walk in the morning, go to work, catch a tram to meet my friend and go out for dinner. I mean I could have asked a more precise question at dinner of “would this mushroom dish be the best nourishment right now?” but I didn’t. I was pondering on what to eat but then I just made strict decisions and didn’t back out on them. I guess it’s something to take on board for tomorrow. It’s also something to practise for future. I can definitely practise this on the weekend when all I plan to do is chores, study and work on my business website.
It actually makes you think about decisiveness and whether you lack it or not. I mean, when you start having doubt on a decision, you end up not making a decision or don’t feel good about the decision you’ve made. Just by asking yourself a question with more specificity, it makes the yes or no answer worth more. If it’s yes, great! You will go through your task without a thought in the world. If it’s a no, then you can think about something else which feels good to you and ask again. It’s all about making good decisions so that you aren’t hung up on the answer - a letting go so that you can get on with the task at hand. And, this goes for the questions you ask others. Be more precise and see better outcomes.
Do you think you can be more specific in your questions? Do you think it’s something you will use moving forward? I think it’s achievable.
