A Single Question To Help Your WellBeing

Covid aside, Mental Health is a massive leadership, business and health challenge.
When we feel anxious it is all too easy to notice the little things that we, or others, do ‘wrong’, or what goes ‘badly’ around us – and the tiniest of things can upset us the most.
Asking the following question – in your own words – can help. Every time you, or someone else, does something – anything – well – e.g. making a cup of tea, ask yourself – aloud or in silence:
“Why am I so good at making tea?”
Or to another – aloud:
“Why are you so wonderful at making my tea?”
Every single day we achieve ‘success’ literally hundreds of times, and by asking this question we begin to notice them, consciously. People tell me that it becomes a fun game to look out for things their partner, or someone else, does well.
The reason this technique works is because it automatically assumes that what you are asking is true, therefore bypassing our critical inner voice. And our Psychology advisers tell us, that this in itself positively rewires our brains, with a direct physical effect on the chemistry of our body.
With my love and best wishes to you all
