QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF IN DIFFICULT TIMES

<div class="text-justify">

In difficult times, it's important to take time to think. Don't get emotional. Instead, ask yourself good questions.

Good questions should make you think harder and deeper.

Good questions, for example, are:

- **What's really going on now?**
- **What can I improve right now?**
- **What's the real issue here?**
- **What could be a simple and easy solution?**
- **What am I avoiding here?**
- **Who can help me?**
- **What can I do now to make progress?**

Life is about problem-solving and taking action on your solution.

I used to always freak out when I faced challenges.
I still do sometimes, but I quickly calm myself and answer some of these good questions in writing.

Asking yourself good questions and writing the answers help you clarify your thoughts, which will calm you down.

The beauty of this is it will also make you more proficient at solving your problems.

For example, you'll start noticing patterns, like avoiding certain things or common recurring root problems.

It's very powerful.

<center>**Have an amazing day!**</center>

I practice asking myself before decision-making if everything i'll do today would matter after 5 years :D

It is a great one...self assessment questions go a long way to help one in channeling his/her course more appropriately.

When facing challenges it takes a lot of discipline to clarify the root issues. I think it's ok to cry and let it all out,after which one has to have these serious conversation with oneself.
Thanks @prettyrose
