Like journaling, asking the right questions can shift your perspective and mindset. But how can you change your level of mental fitness for more positive outcomes?

Mental fitness and mindset go hand in hand when we refer to brain health and the ability to experience positive outcomes in both life and business.

Journaling is one way to nourish your brain and is ultimately reflection.

Robyn suggested that as individuals we should wake up every day and ask ourselves how we can be the best we can possibly be, how can we win today, and then at the end of the day, ask ourselves what we are grateful for and recap the wins we had.

The powerful questions that one can ask to improve mental fitness and mindset

Questions are the pause from being on auto-pilot in life or work.  A good question or quality question is well-timed for you right now and pauses whatever you are doing right now.

The key is that people pause and take the time to ask these important questions. Kobe Bryant as an example, was so successful, because of his prompt, what do I need to do to get to the rim? It has everything to do with who he studied. He studied Michael Jordan and his footwork and where he was on the court. Asking the right question is about identifying who you can study in your realm to learn from and then adapt and be the best. Who are the best of the best that you can learn from?

History lends opportunities to learn if we pause and ask questions.

When pausing to ask questions, you give yourself a better chance to learn. If waiting until you are stressed, fearful, or anxious, you will not learn the same way because of a lack of clarity. If we are in a state of anxiousness, we may be experiencing mental pollution, be in a state of fog, and not be able to sift through to ask the right question or get the right answer.

On the flip side of that, when we are motivated and life is flowing, that is the time to give yourself time and ask yourself bigger questions.
