You might want to achieve a certain dream…
…but you can’t seem to take action on it.
For example you want to write a book…
Or climb a mountain…
Or start a new business…
Or get in shape…
You want it and dream about making it happen.
But when it comes to taking action you hit a brick wall.
Yot can’t seem to get started.
Or, if you do start, you give up on things pretty quickly when you meet a challenge.
In this case – what do you do?
Well here’s one question you can ask yourself…
“What will I miss out on if I never achieve that goal/dream?”
And when you come up with the answers…
ask yourself ‘What else will I miss out on if I never achieve that goal/dream?’
Keep asking until you can no longer think of anything.
This questioning process helps to uncover the real reasons you want to achieve the goal in the first place.
It makes you more aware of what’s driving them…
…and you’ll start to associate pain with not taking action.
Because you’ll see clearly for the first time, what it’s costing you to stay where you are.
This question grounds you in the present and helps you to experience emotionally what it would feel like to not achieve your goal.
Whereas usually you’re are only focused on the future and how it would feel to achieve that goal…
…this question helps you to experience emotional pain in the present. By seeing what things will look like up ahead if you don’t take action.
And that’s motivating!
You might come to realise you don’t want to miss out on any of those things!
You then associate pain with not changing. Which is what’s often needed to change.
