Seeing things in perspective is definitely an approach I'd recommend.

This reminds me of The Office when Jim sends Dwight messages from him future self. Good times. Nice article. “If my future self could travel back in time to this moment and give me some advice, what would she/he say that would completely energize and motivate me to succeed?”

I know all too well how asking yourself the wrong type of questions can point you in the wrong place. I had a major heart attack in 2004 which left damage and was in-operable. Now I live with little to zero energy and I also fight depression almost daily. When I am working on my blogs I try really hard to do things right the first time because frustration can really drag me down fast. Your list of questions is a whole lot better than the list of questions that come to mind when I am getting down. I will print them out and put them on my cork-board so I can see them at all times. Thanks Thanks for the great post Wendy.

One of the most powerful ones that really stood out to me was.... "What accomplishments have I already achieved in my business - and what lessons can I take from those past successes that will enable me to repeat them?" It's important to give yourself a pat on the back & acknowledge your successes no matter how small...and to learn from past successes & mistakes to help us move forward each & every day. For many of us procrastination holds us back and is definitely the robber of profits... as is the negativity of others around us. Focus & Action...You don't have to get it perfect... Just get it going! Thanks Wendy,

I'm printing these questions out and tacking them in a place where I can see them every day. I'm seeing many people write about why <a href="http://chrisbrogan.com/hitting-your-target-for-2008/" title="Hitting Your Target for 2008 | Chris Brogan" rel="nofollow">positive thinking</a> is far more helpful (and gets way better results!) than guilty thinking.

What an excellent post to begin the New Year. The reason the unresourceful questions go nowhere is that they focus on negatives, such as guilt or poor self image. When we see ourselves in that light we get stuck in that mire and go nowhere. One other thing that happens is that our brains get full of the hormone cortisol, which leads to circular thinking.
