Here’s One Powerful Question that changes everything
If you’re struggling to get what you want in life. Perhaps you know what you need to do, but just can’t seem to do it and take the action you know you need to take, here’s the one powerful question that you need to ask yourself, that will change everything.
First let me quickly explain something about the brain and human behaviour.
Your brain has 1 job. The job isn’t to make you happy. It’s not to bring you joy. It’s not to make you feel fulfilled, calm, relaxed. It isn’t to get you what you want – whether that’s to get a promotion, change your body, find a life partner.
Your brain has 1 job and that’s to keep you alive. It only cares about your safety and survival. In fact your brain is always on high alert, looking out for danger. The brain then tries to protect you from danger, and can sometimes overreact.
So one of the main reasons we don’t get what we want is because the brain perceives it as a threat. To get what we want normally requires some kind of change, and our brain perceives change as a threat to your survival. And in turn it creates things like fear or procrastination to stop you doing the things that would help you get what you really want.
So the question to ask yourself next time you’re not getting what you want is “What feels unsafe here?” This question changes everything. Ask this question, sit with it, listen to what answers come. Then use this to reassure the brain that you are safe, that this change isn’t a threat, that this is what you want. Once we start calming our nervous system and collaborating with our brain we start getting the outcomes in life that we want.
