Fattitude
- Craig Harper
While many books focus on food,
Craig teaches that creating life-long change is more about the
dieter, than the actual diet. This book is perfect for people who have a
history of 'almost' getting in shape.

notion of Renovating Your Body - once and for all. Many of us have a curious

Hi Groovers. A big thanks to all of you for encouraging me about you-know-what (still can't say it) off the back of yesterday's post. I feel quite flattered and encouraged. And thanks for sharing some of your own ambitions and dreams with the group. Alrighty... on with today's post. I've touched on this subject before but it seems to be a stumbling block for many, so I thought we would re-visit it briefly today.
The Questions we Ask
Consciously or not, audibly or not, publicly or privately, positively or negatively, we are always asking questions. Of others and ourselves. Some of those questions are the catalyst for action and positive change. Some are indicators of a shift in consciousness and an increase in awareness. Some show a willingness to learn, work hard, adapt, evolve and improve. Some are a sign of maturity, responsibility and humility. Some are relatively meaningless and incidental, while others indicate a level of immaturity, selfishness, self-pity, pessimism and even self-destruction. Some people genuinely want a solution, while others are attention and sympathy seekers.
So my question for you today is... "what type of questions do you ask?"
Which Socks?
Obviously I'm not talking about the incidental 'what socks will I wear today' type questions but rather, the life-shaping and reality-affecting questions; the 'why do I keep sabotaging myself and how can I do better' questions. You know what I'm on about. Get that goofy look off your face. Do you ask questions which empower you or limit you? Do they put you in a better or worse place (practically, emotionally)? Are they logical and meaningful or are they reactive and emotional? Do they put you in a productive and creative place? And lastly, do you focus your mind on finding a solution or do you tend to inhabit the problem? Be completely honest.
Better Questions= Better Results
In many ways our life is a reflection of the quality of the questions we ask ourselves. Better questions produce better reactions, decisions and behaviours, which in turn produce better results. Sometimes we react badly without really thinking, when we should actually stop for a second (no, not always easy - but possible), take a deep breath, step out of the situation (either literally or metaphorically) and ask ourselves the right question for that situation and for that moment in time; the question that prevents you from throwing your own pity party or from smashing your boss's head into the photocopier. Call me a pacifist. Call me old fashioned.
A Small Challenge
So for the next seven days (as a starting point) why don't you choose to make a concerted effort to become more aware, more conscious, more responsible, more thoughtful and more accountable with the questions you ask. And by this I mean both types; the questions you ask yourself (that is, your self talk) and the questions you ask others. Remember, better questions equals better results. Here's a few no-brainers to get you started...
1. What can I learn from this experience?
2. How can I do better?
3. How am I contributing to this problem?
4. How do I need to communicate with this person, in this situation, to produce the best outcome?
5. What is their reality?
