Even changing your physical position can dramatically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-change-your-mood\/\">change your mood<\/a>. For Tony Robbins, questions (and asking yourself the right ones) is one of the best ways to control your focus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, <strong>we\u2019ll explore Tony Robbins\u2019 questions for empowerment.&nbsp; <\/strong>Specifically, we\u2019ll discuss:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How your questions influence your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/thoughts-feelings-and-behaviors\/\">thoughts and emotions<\/a><\/li><li>What <em>empowering<\/em> and <em>disempowering<\/em> questions are<\/li><li>Why you must be cautious in the way you word your questions<\/li><li>Which questions to ask yourself every day to make you feel more empowered and happy<\/li><li>Which questions to ask yourself to help you persevere and find solutions when you\u2019re facing challenges<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The questions you ask yourself set the tone for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-break-negative-thought-patterns\/\">thought patterns<\/a>, so it\u2019s critical to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/make-a-habit\/\">make a habit<\/a> of asking yourself positive, empowering questions that will lead to empowering thoughts.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking is merely a sequence of asking and answering questions\u2014in other words, virtually every thought you have is preceded by a question, even if it\u2019s not one you consciously asked. Some questions are straightforward ways of evaluating your environment, like asking what made a noise. Other questions interpret your circumstances subjectively, and the answers you come up with strongly influence your emotional state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone has a set of subjective habitual questions or types of questions that they ask themselves regularly. Since your habitual questions create your thought patterns, and thoughts determine your behavior, <strong>if you consistently ask yourself disempowering questions, you will <\/strong><strong><em>feel <\/em><\/strong><strong>worse and you <\/strong><strong><em>do <\/em><\/strong><strong>less to improve your life. <\/strong>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-change-your-life-in-5-simple-steps\/\">change your life<\/a> by becoming aware of your habitual questions and changing those that are disempowering. Disempowering questions include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What\u2019s the point?<\/li><li>Why is this happening to me?&nbsp;<\/li><li>Why should I even try?<\/li><li>What\u2019s wrong with me?&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By contrast, questions like these will promote more empowered thinking:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What in your life makes you happy?&nbsp;<\/li><li>What\u2019s good about your life?<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-am-i-grateful-for\/\">What are you grateful for<\/a>?&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, imagine you\u2019ve tried and failed to skateboard three times in a row. In this situation, you can ask yourself two different questions that both attempt to diagnose the problem, but which will elicit two distinct answers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u201cWhy can\u2019t I get it?\u201d This has a fairly defeatist tone, and it\u2019s likely to lead to answers such as, \u201cI\u2019m not coordinated enough\u201d and \u201cThis isn\u2019t the sport for me.\u201d This simple question could <em>discourage<\/em> you from continuing to try, ultimately preventing you from ever learning to skateboard.&nbsp;<\/li><li>\u201cWhat do I need to do differently?\u201d This question is framed to find a solution, and it could lead to answers with more concrete ideas, such as, \u201cAdjust my footing\u201d and \u201cPut my arms out for balance.\u201d This question is likely to <em>encourage<\/em> you to keep trying, and it could lead you to become a skilled skateboarder.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your Emotional State <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Questions are such a powerful force to change your mental and emotional state because answering an empowering question requires you to come up with empowering references to support your answer. <\/strong>Let\u2019s look at the process step by step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You ask an empowering question.<\/li><li>As you think of an empowering answer, you naturally come up with empowering references to support it.&nbsp;<\/li><li>The process of scanning your brain for empowering references naturally focuses your attention on those positive references.<\/li><li>As we discussed, focus determines your state\u2014in this case, focusing on empowering references puts you in a positive state.<\/li><li>Your empowered state then influences your subsequent questions, creating a feedback loop.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The same process occurs when you ask yourself <em>disempowering<\/em> questions, so <strong>it\u2019s critical that you start with <\/strong><strong><em>empowering <\/em><\/strong><strong>questions so that you create a positive cycle <\/strong>instead of a negative one. For instance, imagine you\u2019re feeling down. Let\u2019s look at how an empowering question and a disempowering question would each take you down a different mental and emotional path:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The disempowered path: You ask yourself, \u201cWhy do I feel so depressed?\u201d In search of an answer, you focus on all the unfortunate circumstances in your life (references) that could cause you to feel depressed. Thinking of all these reasons to be depressed then makes you feel <em>more<\/em> depressed, leading to more disempowering questions like \u201cWhy is my life so awful?\u201d<\/li><li>The empowered path: You ask yourself, \u201cWhat could I do to make myself feel happier?\u201d You then think of empowering references, such as happy memories, things in your life that bring you joy, and activities you could do that would lift your spirits. With your focus on these positive references, you may then ask yourself more empowering questions such as, \u201cHow did I get so lucky?\u201d<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Be conscious not only of the questions you ask yourself, but also of the way they\u2019re worded and what they assume or cause you to ignore.<\/strong> Some questions include a presupposition, or an assumption that\u2019s built into the question and, thus, the answer. For example, if you ask yourself, \u201cWhy do I always choose the wrong partner?\u201d then your question has made your consistent poor romantic choices a fact without ever stopping to consider whether that\u2019s even true. As a result, your answer will provide evidence for this supposed fact, reinforcing the belief and creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the questions <em>others<\/em> ask you can also contain presuppositions. Be aware of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/ask-how-questions\/\">how questions<\/a> are phrased before accepting the question as fact or framing your answer around it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tony Robbins: Questions for the Morning&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know how powerfully your internal questions impact your state, it\u2019s time to <strong>take stock of your own habitual questions and condition yourself to ask empowering questions.<\/strong> In order to seize your power and control your questions, use the NAC steps, which are (briefly):&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Become aware of what you want.<\/li><li>Identify your limiting pattern.<\/li><li>Create leverage.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Interrupt your pattern.<\/li><li>Create a new, empowering alternative with better questions.<\/li><li>Rehearse your new questions to condition them to be consistent.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s elaborate on the fifth step of NAC: Creating new, empowering questions to replace old, disempowering ones. First, we\u2019ll look at questions you can ask yourself daily to maintain a positive, empowered mindset.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Each morning, ask yourself a series of questions to set the tone for your pattern of thinking for the day. <\/strong>For each of the questions, think of two or three answers, elaborate on <em>how <\/em>it makes you feel, and specify <em>why <\/em>you feel that way. If you struggle to come up with an answer to any question, add \u201ccould\u201d to the question\u2014for example, if you can\u2019t think of anything that makes you happy, try to come up with an answer for \u201cWhat <em>could<\/em> make me happy?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Morning Power Questions include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What in my life makes me happy?&nbsp;<\/li><li>What in my life excites me?&nbsp;<\/li><li>What in my life am I proud of?&nbsp;<\/li><li>What in my life am I grateful for?&nbsp;<\/li><li>What in my life do I enjoy most?&nbsp;<\/li><li>What in my life am I committed to?&nbsp;<\/li><li>Who do I love? What makes me a loving person?&nbsp;<\/li><li>Who loves me?&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also consider asking yourself questions each evening that help you reflect on your day and find empowerment in your experiences. <strong>When you make a habit of asking these questions, they\u2019ll begin to shape your experiences. <\/strong>For example, if you always ask yourself what you\u2019ve learned each day, you\u2019ll start going through your days looking for things you can learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Evening Power Questions include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In what ways did I give today?&nbsp;<\/li><li>What have I learned today?&nbsp;<\/li><li>How can my experiences today improve my future?&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Customize these questions and add questions to fit you and your life. If you ask yourself these questions every day, they will become habitual, and they will shape your thinking, beliefs, and behavior.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The above Tony Robbins questions can help you to reframe your mindset before you start your day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are Tony Robbins\u2019 questions for empowerment?
