Ten Questions to Upgrade Your Perspective

Welcome to the Jenni Carroll Perspective. For those of you who are interested in changing your perspective, today I hope to provide you with a framework. When it comes to the foundational principles we have discussed, it can be overwhelming and confusing to adopt them in a realistic and practical way. To help overcome that obstacle, I’m sharing ten questions meant to support you in exploring and ultimately better understanding yourself, your current perspective and any shifts that might be helpful to make. Question 1. WHAT IS GOOD? What is working? What are my strengths? What do I appreciate about myself, my life? Question 2. WHAT IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY EMOTIONS? What feelings do I have frequently? What emotions would I like to feel more often? Is it difficult for me to allow for my feelings? Why? Is it difficult for me to let go of my feelings once they have run their course? Why? How does my relationship with my emotions support or inhibit my experience of life?  Question 3. WHAT ARE THE INTERNAL BELIEFS THAT MOTIVATE MY THOUGHTS?What thoughts do I have frequently? What kind of thoughts would I like to have more often? Do I trust that my motivating internal beliefs are true?  Question 4. WHERE DO JUDGMENT AND GUILT SHOW UP IN MY LIFE? What beliefs and fears motivate these feelings (or thoughts)? How do these feelings (or thoughts) keep me from living a different type of experience? Am I open to experiencing and practicing more empathy and compassion? Question 5. WHAT EXPECTATIONS DO I HAVE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS?How do I handle it when I fail to meet my own expectations? What meaning do I apply to this experience? What expectations do I have for others, especially for the most important people in my life? When others fail to meet my expectations, what meaning do I apply to myself? How willing am I to let go of any of these expectations?  Question 6. DO I FULLY ACCEPT MY INTRINSIC WORTH? If not, what keeps me from embracing this foundational truth? Question 7. DO I PRACTICE PERSISTENT FORGIVENESS? What are my beliefs about forgiveness? What fears keep me from forgiving more readily? Where am I willing to incorporate more forgiveness into my life? Question 8.  HOW MUCH TIME DO I SPEND IN A HEART-CENTERED PERSPECTIVE?Am I willing to work at making the shift to spending more time here?  Question 9.  HOW MUCH IS MY CURRENT PERSPECTIVE HOLDING ME BACK OR CONTRIBUTING TO A LIFE EXPERIENCE I NO LONGER WANT? What negative emotions come up frequently for me? What interferes with my peace and my joy? How are my feelings about the external world or other people connected to my inner world and my current perspective? How do I want my life and my perspective to be different? Am I willing to shift my perspective?  Question 10:  WHAT IS ONE SHIFT I AM WILLING TO MAKE OR START WORKING ON TODAY? Don’t underestimate the power of questioning. Questioning is in itself is a process of change and transformation. Explore for yourself what you truly believe and more importantly, what you are willing to remember.    Thank you so much for listening.  If you enjoyed the information presented in today's discussion, please consider subscribing to Truth & Beauty: Where Truth is Understood, Beauty is Revealedhttps://www.youtube.com/@JenniCarroll-TruthBeautyhttps://www.jennicarroll.com
