A Lifecoach’s Questionnaire

**A Lifecoach’s Insights**

(_Random thoughts structured as a Questionnaire_)

For Ashu Read  urself, if u May so…

It's valuable to periodically ask yourself some thought-provoking questions. Here are some I reflect on regularly:

1. What types of conversations, forwards, or news capture my attention? What truly is my mind’s diet? What actual is nourishing it?

2. Which activities keep my mind consistently engaged?

3. Is the nature of my activity or thought constructive or self destructive?

4. Do I respond with calm and balance to events, news, or activities, or do I react impulsively without much discernment?

5. Does my mind seek validation for its perspective, or does it judge others for not understanding simple truths?

6. Is my mind open and undefended, or is it confused?

7. What signs indicate that I need to regain control over my mind?

8. I often ask Ashu to observe how my family, friends, and colleagues react to my thoughts, feelings, and actions. Should I follow my untamed mind or heed the considered opinions of those close to me?

9. Does my need for validation and being right foster harmony or discord around me? Do friends and family suggest I adjust my behavior?

10. Is it too much to ask Ashu to heed measured advice from friends?

11. Can I make mid-course corrections and align myself as effectively as we did in a drill Square?

12. Am I at peace with myself?

13. Can I avoid unverified and potentially misleading news from biased media outlets?

14. Am I so caught up in life's trivialities that I overlook Ashu’s hobbies like painting, sketching, singing, dancing, photography, music , meditation, blogging, reading n understanding Vedic Scriptures and cycling?

15. Can I spend time enjoying activities like golf, visiting temples, attending satsangs, or socializing with good friends instead of constantly seeking validation on the keyboard of my mobile or laptop? Am I in a Virtual Reality trap?

16. Does Ashu understand the fleeting nature of life? Jogi’s passing is a stark reminder of life’s impermanence. Can Ashu learn from my Coursemate’s loss and emulate Jogi by focusing on meaningful actions now, so he is remembered positively?

17. Can I simply breathe and let go?

18. When will Ashu start to love himself?

19. Can I also value others' perspectives? Can’t I admit I might be wrong and move past issues? Is retreat and silence not a constructive approach in mediation?

20. Reflect on these questions.

**P.S.** Observe your immediate thoughts and emotions upon reading this, then let them pass. Peace is rare and valued, while judgement and reactive chaos is common. Choose peace.
