When I start to realise that I’m suffering from a lack of sound judgement, or I’ve lapsed into making too many poor decisions, or I’ve been feeling ungrounded, or hypersensitive, then I know I need to question everything for the next few weeks to get me back on track again.
According to the classic hero’s journey, life is a series of quests. Quests can be challenging. If everything in life is a quest, then it is worth questioning everything. When I need to feel more grounded, or I need to be more objective, or less subjective, or I need to improve my decision-making skills, or when I need to be more discerning, or reduce hypersensitivity, these are the quests that can help me to get there.
I choose one quest at a time. Then I spend a day practising each one:
- Question your motives
- Question your thoughts
- Question your feelings
- Question your five senses
- Question your actions
- Question your instincts
- Question your intuition
- Question your inner guidance
- Question your inner critic
- Question your beliefs
- Question your attitude
- Question your assumptions
- Question your dreams
- Question your desires
- Question your passion
- Question your lust
- Question your wishes
- Question your habits
- Question your addictions
- Question your obsessions
- Question your worries
- Question your kindness
- Question your generosity
- Question your guilt
- Question your selfishness
- Question your greed
- Question your pride
- Question your ego
- Question your image
- Question your awareness
- Question your responsibilities
- Question your boundaries
- Question your limitations
- Question your integrity
- Question your perfection
- Question your imperfections
- Question your dislikes
- Question your love
- Question your hate
- Question your energy
- Question your attention
- Question your conscience
- Question your intentions
- Question your regrets
- Question your past
- Question your present
- Question your future
- Question your timing
- Question your body
- Question your soul
- Question your spirit
- Question your gods
Sometimes I need to be less subjective and more objective about life. I’m not suggesting that emotions should be ignored. Being too objective too often bypasses my ability to feel my feelings. I need to feel my feelings because feeling my feelings can be healing. It’s more realistic to strive to find the place between being subjective and being objective that is right for me and everyone and everything important to me. So, I question what I can see and what I can’t see. Nothing is too sacred to question because everything is sacred.
