Lofty questions are an excellent way of speaking to your subconscious mind in a gentle and loving way. Using affirmations can sometimes come with a blockage, but when we use them with lofty questions, they can remove that block and allow things to shift our mindset.
3 Reasons To Use Lofty Questions:
Serve as a better way to set goals.
If you're having trouble keeping true to your goals, using lofty questions may be the answer for you. Because of their lofty design, they work in the back of your mind while you are going about your day and shift you in subtle ways. You may find yourself reaching your goals by less confrontation and more nurturing aspects these questions create.
A better motivational tool
Many people who use lofty questions find themselves achieving goals faster because they are less fixated on an outcome and live more in the present. The more present you are with your daily lives, the less likely you will become off track.
Helps you reconsider your worldview
Working in the back of your mind, these lofty questions have you reframing the lens through which you view your daily life. A shift like this ripples throughout your interactions and your relationships. You will find yourself seeing the world with new eyes and new awareness because the negative thought patterns will release themselves over time.
How to Use Lofty Questions:
When asking these questions to yourself, you will always want to frame it, starting with the word why and including phrases like always and at all times.
Why is my life so amazing? Why is my life filled with positive people and experiences? Why am I so happy all the time?
What these types of questions do is get you to think in an upward spiral. When we go along with a train of thought patterns, it is a negative spiral downward that usually starts with the word why. This is to break that habit and create a new one.
Take the questions that make you feel bad about yourself and change the narrative. Ask the opposite of them when you get up in the morning and then before you go to bed. This will realign your thought patterns to shift them to think more positively, which will, in turn, affect your behavior, attitude, and decisions.
For example:
Why am I so unlucky?
can shift into
Why am I so blessed and grateful?
Another example:
Why am I always so fearful about change?
can shift into
Why am I so brave and courageous in taking risks?
One last example:
Why am I so unlovable?
can shift into
Why am I so lovable and nurturing to others as well as myself?
Takeaway
Use lofty questions like this in conjunction with a list of positive self affirmations, and you will start to see shifts in how you see and interact with the world. The changes may be subtle at first, but within 90 days, you will see a whole new and improved you coming through in a vibrant and lively way.
