Why do we feel that we need to ‘know’ or have the right answer in order to feel safe? In our desire to appear successful to ourselves and others, we may feel we are supposed to be the expert in whatever we are doing or saying. Yet, when we don’t know the answer, or we make a mistake, we find ourselves hiding it from others or blaming them…

Where do we believe love comes from? Does it come from others when we are 'loveable' enough? Is it something that comes from God? Most of us crave it, seek it, and spend our lives hoping to get enough of it. We write songs and poetry expressing our love towards what makes us feel lovable, loved, and loving.

Lately I’ve been dealing with chronic pain and inflammation in my body that doesn’t ever seem to go away. I’ve had a few accidents over the years that have contributed to the pain. While I’ve paid lots of attention to these parts of my body, the pain just persists…

What are your beliefs about prayer? Is it our way of asking God for favors? Is it only something religious people do or have access to? Is prayer just as effective for ourselves as it is when we use it for others? When we pray, what do we focus on? Do we focus on what we don't yet have? Are we asking God/Goddess/Universe to fill the 'gap' between what we have and what we want…

What is it that makes it so hard to be patient with ourselves and others? Is it simply a part of living our fast-paced lives in this current day and age? Why is it easy to be patient in some situations and not in others…

What is it that has us fear how others will see us in the many social settings we find ourselves in? Do we feel if others see us connected to negative situations, organizations, or people that we are out of integrity with, will they think less of us…

Do you believe that we are responsible for other people's feelings? If others tell us we hurt them, is it true? Can we really hurt others by simply being ourselves…

What is about someone holding back their thoughts and feelings that frustrates us so much? We ask ourselves; ‘why don’t they share what is happening for them and what do they want or don’t want from us?’ We wonder what is prompting them to reply with one-word answers acting as if they can hardly wait to run out of the room and away from our conversation…

What if things had gone differently in the past – would we feel better now? ‘What If’ is a question that many of us ask ourselves on a regular basis when we are feeling the negative emotion of regret. It’s like our ego is trying to solve an issue from the past to distract us from why we are feeling the negative emotion in the first place…

Do you believe we can choose to feel good in any moment? Most of us don't. We have been taught to respond to what’s right in front of us and feel the feelings that go with that experience. If the experience is something we want, we feel good. If its something we don't want, we feel bad....

Do you believe that worrying helps? That it makes a difference in what happens to us or those we care about? Perhaps you learned that worrying was a sign of caring, love or loyalty? Maybe you learned that worrying is like praying... the more you do it, the better the odds of a good outcome?

We are told that emotions are not ‘appropriate’ in the workplace, and our left-brain, linear, dualistic thinking is the best problem- solving approach to success.
