32 Questions to Transform Your Life

March 10, 2009 by Cassandra Rae · View Comments 

Recently I published an article about how spending 30 minutes a day can change your life and GirlPaint posted this question:

“I’m not quite clear on what Free Writing is, though. Is it just putting pencil to paper and letting loose w/ words? Is there a direction/aim, or is it pretty much whatever comes out?”

Since I do Free Writing every day, I usually look at the last 24 hours and write whatever I need in order to process the experiences, feelings, or anything else that’s coming up for me.  But, if you sit down to do your Free Writing and are drawing a blank, then it might be helpful to have a starting point.  A couple of years ago I wrote a list of questions to transform your life.  They might help you in your Free Writing Daily Practice:

  1. What do you need from today?
  2. What are you holding onto that is holding you back?
  3. What does success mean to you?
  4. What is self-care?
  5. What does it mean to be vulnerable?
  6. What are you willing to make a commitment to today?
  7. What does it mean to be human?
  8. How often do you give yourself permission to be human?
  9. When is good enough good enough?
  10. What are you passionate about?
  11. Who are you most comfortable with? And why?
  12. How can you cherish your body today?
  13. What do you value the most in your relationships?
  14. How often are you vulnerable with the important people in your life?
  15. Do you sacrifice your dreams and desires for the benefit of others?
  16. How are you feeling today?
  17. What does it mean to forgive?
  18. How can you support yourself and others today?
  19. What are you willing to accept about yourself right now?
  20. What is your intuition and how does it serve you?
  21. How would someone else describe you?
  22. What is your biggest challenge in life?
  23. What is one step you can take today towards one of your goals?
  24. Is there something you have always wanted to do but haven’t?
  25. Who do you look up to and why?
  26. What is compassion?
  27. How do you show yourself compassion?
  28. What is fear?
  29. How does fear hold you back?
  30. How does fear support you?
  31. What are your options?
  32. What energizes you?

Remember that questions can only transform your life if you give them permission to and when you open up to discovering the answers.  Have fun, kids!

**You are invited to post your answers to any of the above questions on your blog.  If you do, then please enter your name and specific url in Mr Linky below.  Specific url means the link to the post where you published your answer.  If you post a link to the main page of your blog, then your name & link will be deleted.  But, the cool thing is if you answer 5 questions, then you can post 5 specific urls.  Your listed links are only limited by the number of questions above.  If you answer more than one question you might want to include the topic in your name.  For example: yourname-good enough or yourname-forgiveness.  I can’t wait to read your answers!

    Another great post, Cassandra. The 32 questions are great for getting to the bottom how you’re feeling, what you’re thinking, but also equally effective for stimulating creativity (or that’s what I discovered). BTW, thanks for the link ;)
