 Hey, Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video. First of all, we'd like to thank you for all of the support that you've given us. Psych2Go's mission is to make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone. So let's begin. Have you ever found yourself in tough situations or faced difficult obstacles? In those times, you may start to question why it's happening to you or why life is being so unfair to you. While these are not necessarily bad questions, they may often lead to a lack of motivation, which may only make the situation more difficult. This is why it's important to ask yourself more empowering questions, questions that can help you reflect and become more self-aware so that you can build on your strengths and battle your weaknesses. Here are five questions to ask yourself during tough times. Number one, what can I be grateful for today? Do you sometimes find it hard to see the positive things in life? An important question to overcoming this boundary is to ask yourself, what can I be grateful for today? Whether it's your family and friends you're thankful for or little things in life, like the weather or the way your pet calls for you, appreciating the things around you can help you improve your mental wellbeing and mood. Asking yourself what you can be grateful for can help spark that perseverance you need to break through the negative thought cycle you're stuck in. Number two, what is my gift to share? Have others tried to dismiss your dreams by saying that they're childish or silly? Listening to other people's opinions instead of your own may lead you to lose confidence in your own abilities. Even if you feel that you're bad at something, there's always a way to improve. By asking yourself what is your gift to share or what you can contribute to others, you may find that you've been neglecting a lifelong interest. Trying different hobbies and seeking opportunities may help you find a hidden gift or interest. Number three, what is my true goal and intention in life? We all want to be true to ourselves and follow our passions, but many people often forget about their goals when pursuing success. Maybe you are persisting for your family or it's to make a positive impact in the world or a dream job you're hoping to get. Asking yourself what is my true goal and intention in life can help clear your mind and reestablish what you really want to accomplish. Number four, how can I change my approach? Have you ever fallen into the trap of tunnel vision? Tunnel vision is when you're so focused on your preferred line of thought that you fail to consider alternatives. By asking the question, how can I change my approach? You're acknowledging that your current strategy is not working. The next step is seeking answers to your question. Is there a particular thing you need to improve on? Something you need to learn or switch up. By asking yourself about the other potential perspectives and approaches, not only are you improving yourself awareness, but you're also more likely to find success and fulfillment that way. And number five, what is trying to emerge in my life? Often during stressful and pressing times, it can be hard to figure out what direction life is trying to point you towards. Perhaps it's to follow a certain goal, a certain job, or a certain person. It may be hard to tell at first, so it's important to keep exploring with an open mind. By seeking opportunities to learn and experience new things, you can get a clear idea of what you want to achieve in life. Asking yourself, what is trying to emerge in my life? May help you pick up on previously unclear clues and hints that can guide you towards a brighter path. Have you tried asking yourself some of these questions? Tell us about it in the comments below.
