Every day we ask ourselves many questions such as what should I do today? What should I wear? What should I eat? And so on. But we usually forget to ask ourselves the most important questions which are necessary to give value not only to our day-to-day lives but also in the long run to give us the clarity that we need.
So, what are the most important questions we should be asking ourselves every day?
We should frequently take a moment for ourselves and think about what really holds value for us to find our purpose and motive in this world.
As George Bernard Shaw said: “Life is not about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself”.
Here are simple life coaching questions to ask yourself which you can also ask your coaching clients. These may help you reflect back on your life and make some tweaks. Take some time for yourself, at a calm, quiet place and ask yourself these questions.
