❓ 17 Powerful Questions
👋🏼Hello friend,
I hope you had a wonderful week. If unexpectedly, a challenge has come into your life, this is just the right Newsletter for you. (if not, you can save it for the future 🙂) I have carefully selected 17 questions for you that will greatly loosen up a problem and maybe even solve it.
Last summer I found myself in a situation that caused me many sleepless nights. I just didn't know what to do. I was spinning in circles.
When I already thought that I had tried EVERYTHING, my Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) Trainer approached me. He sent me a document with the promise:
After answering these questions, your problem will no longer be a problem.
Sure, it's not a magic pill that solves all your worries overnight, but I had many "aha moments" during this process. It brought me a lot further toward the solution and now I can only smile about the thoughts I had past summer.
Be sure to take your time and wait at least 30 seconds if the answer to the question doesn't arise. You can read the question out loud over and over again. If you wrote everything down and have spent 30 seconds on the question, move to the next one. Don’t try to eagerly find an answer. Just let your thoughts flow and capture what you think on paper.
