How to Overcome Anxiety & Depression with More Useful Questions I talk to people in therapy all day, every day.  One consequence of that is that I hear a lot of people’s thoughts...their most personal thoughts...the thoughts they never share with anyone else.  And when you hear people’s most intimate thoughts for several years, you start to pick up on some patterns.  One thing I’ve noticed is that people are asking themselves a lot of questions.   Asking Questions Leads to Personal Growth You might think asking yourself questions would be a good thing.  Asking questions presumably leads to answering questions, and maybe that leads to growth or change.  Yes, my friend, that’s the idea. I mean, I spend a lot of my day not only listening to people ask themselves questions but also asking them even more questions.  Questions are good...they do lead to growth.  As long as you’re asking the right questions.   Asking Yourself the Wrong Questions Perpetuates Anxiety & Depression But I’ve noticed people are asking themselves the wrong questions.  Here are examples of common questions my clients ask themselves: Why can’t I get this right?   What if this is a disaster? Why doesn’t anyone want to be my friend? What’s wrong with me? What if I’m not good at this? What if people think I’m a mess? Can you relate?   The Questions We Ask Ourselves Have Already Been Answered The problem with these questions is that they’re not designed for open discovery.  They’re not designed to really go out and look for answers. They’re not fair questions.  These questions already have an answer in mind. Here are the implied answers:   Q:  Why can’t I get this right?   A:   Because I'm an idiot. Q:  What if this is a disaster? A:  It will be a disaster and it’s gonna be terrible. Q:  Why doesn’t anyone want to be my friend? A:  Because I'm a loser.   Q:  What’s wrong with me? A:  Everything.   Q:  What if I’m not good at this? A: I'm definitely not good at this, so I should just quit.   Q:  What if people think I’m a mess? A:  It's a given that I'm a mess.  I should probably go hide for a while. The Questions We Ask Ourselves Keep Us Anxious & Depressed See, the problem with those questions is they keep us stuck.  They reinforce the lies our anxiety and depression have already convinced us are true.  They seem to just prove that we’re a lost cause and there’s nothing we can do to make changes.   How to Ask Yourself More Useful Questions All of these questions can be made into more helpful questions...questions that are actually designed to go out and look for answers...questions that get us unstuck.  Here’s an example. Instead of asking yourself Q1:  Why can’t I get this right? Ask yourself  Q2:  What one small change can I make that would make today feel successful? Useful Questions Get Us Unstuck from Anxiety & Depression This revised question is dedicated toward getting us unstuck.  Its whole job is to help us refocus from what’s going wrong to what we can do right.  Instead of being oriented toward misery, it’s oriented toward action.  It’s focused on a future goal rather than obsessively running around in circles.  All that makes a huge difference in how we move forward.   Try Asking Yourself More Useful Questions Asking yourself better questions is actually really hard!!  See if you can do it with the questions I gave you earlier. Turn each of these into a more helpful question.   Why can’t I get this right?   What if this is a disaster? Why doesn’t anyone want to be my friend? What’s wrong with me? What if I’m not good at this? What if people think I’m a mess? How’d you do?  If it was hard, know that it’s hard for me, too!!  If you’re curious how I turned them into more helpful questions, grab this PDF.  And definitely if you notice one of those questions showing up in your head a lot, make sure you grab the PDF and see how you can replace that question with a more productive question.  FREE DOWNLOAD! 6 PRODUCTIVE QUESTIONS TO GET YOU UNSTUCK FROM DEPRESSION & ANXIETY Speaking of stress and anxiety...have I told you about the nightmare trip I took to Jacksonville, Florida?  I’m sure I haven’t.
