There are basically two kinds of questions that we can ask yourself: empowering questions and dis-empowering questions.
Empowering questions
– Provide new understanding
– Provide new ideas
– Focus you on solutions instead on problems
– Move you to action
– Make you responisible
– Give you the impetus to make a change
– Make you have a deeper sense of meaning for your life
– Help you learn from the situation
– Induce you to get out of your confort zone
Dis-empowering questions
– Focus you on the problem not the solution
– Make the problem bigger than it really is
– Makes you unresourceful
– Put you in a stuck state
– Make you feel you are responsible for something but there’s nothing you can do about it
– Are “why me” questions
– Make you hopeless
