We talk in our minds all the time. But this communication fails to connect us with our inner self. You know, talking and communicating is different. And if you truly want to understand yourself, your desires, and move better; there's no other way rather have a good connection with thyself.
I was not very sure how can I do that. But once I learn to 'question' myself I understand it better how it works. When you question yourself, you lead yourself to answer that too. And thus you can automatically get a clear idea about yourself.
This question doesn't have to be the toughest one. It can be anything, like why you are feeling sad. Ask yourself and answer as per to see what comes up from your mind. Many times, you will find a total surprising reason for your reaction and response. It clears up our mind and shows us a transparent path so we easily can decide what we need to so. And as I was saying reconnecting with thyself, questing actually does!
If you are happy?
Why you behaved like that?
What makes you uncomfortable?
What you want but what makes you do not want that?
Why you choose to pretend/hide/skip?
What makes you feel sad/happy?
Why you feel joy?
Are you jealous, why?
There are thousands of questions we can ask ourselves. Besides the random that we usually do in our mind, if we can add questions 'decision making' will be a lot easier. And the best thing is this practice doesn't require anything. No external resources or effort. Just you can play this mind game and get benefits for it.
