"What do I really want?": 20 questions to yourself to understand it

 Each of us at least once in our lives had a feeling of uncertainty, when everything seems insipid and monotonous, and a new vector has not yet been found. At such moments, it is important to learn to ask yourself the right questions that will create motivation.

1. Is this my life?

We live and do not notice that some thoughts, desires, emotions are imposed from the outside by society, parents, colleagues, the state. Demand an honest answer from yourself: are all my aspirations, feelings my own? When the feeling that you are out of place does not leave, it can be dangerous for both health and life.

2. Do I have a goal?

3. What is my level of self-esteem?

Low self-esteem  is a common cause of failures, unfulfilled desires. If you scold yourself, look for flaws, you will never achieve significant results and you will always be in the shadow of more successful people.

4. Am I moving towards my goal?

5. Is it worth looking into the future?

We are all afraid of tomorrow in one way or another. It is fraught with uncertainty, which frightens and alarms. Do not focus on negative feelings and try to overcome them: it will be a waste of energy.

6. What is my reaction to failure?

Misfortunes, disappointments can make you give up, freeze, "knock out of the saddle."
