Blending Transform and Discover Questions

When you bring more awareness to a problem, you increase the likelihood of solving it. Adding the consciousness of Transform to the experience of Discover helps us turn problems into challenges; in turn, this helps us to find solutions rather than feeling paralyzed by them.  Blending our questions allows us to keep an opening for a solution when we look at a problem.

Remember, in Discover we look at something we do not understand and/ or view as a problem.  Discover questions keep the problem separate from us and we remain powerless.  Transform questions put us in a place of power; we look at the problem and we see it as a challenge.


The list of
Discover Questions (Volume 3, Issue 7) is there so you can identify them in your thought process. From now on, never ask them!  If you hear one in your head, replace it with a Transform question (Volume 3, Issue 8).  You will address the same situation from a place of power and possibility.

Acknowledge that you need to make a discovery, and then ask a Transform question so you take an action towards a solution. It can be a simple as asking, "What action can I take now instead of giving my power to this problem?"

 

Contemplate:

1.  What areas of your personal life might benefit from a little discovery?

2.  Could you do some discovery in your professional life?  Where?

3.  What questions can you ask to get yourself to establish a goal and move towards it?
