• By recording your answers in a journal, logging when specific behaviors occur and noting the frequency of thse behaviors, you’ll discover patterns. If you know the pattern, it’s easier to change the behavior.
• Make it a Habit to consistently ask yourself good questions, and you’ll overcome your challenges easier.

Questions for Consideration:

• Do you consistently ask yourself good questions?
• What questions can you ask yourself on a regular basis to ensure you’re on track?
