Question of the Day
Raising the Question
Will you take the 30 day challenge?
It is estimated that we have around 60,000 thoughts a day. This is quite an impressive figure until you realize that 95% of those thoughts are the very same thoughts we had yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that.
The Raising the Question 30 day challenge dares you to break that pattern and make a conscious decision to challenge your mind and ask yourself at least one fresh new question each day.
Raising the question offers you a new question each day. All you need to do is ask yourself the question and reply with a response in the comments section of that question. The process of answering the question in writing ensures that you really get to take in the question and let it form new pathways in your mind as you respond.
It’s always fun to see what other people have replied to the same question as well, but no cheating, make sure you place your response before browsing through other peoples.
DO YOU ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE? If so, enter your email address on the right. This will send a fresh question to your inbox every day and give you a gentle reminder to keep you on track.
GOOD LUCK.
What is the worst break up ever?
Jul 15th
Hey all, I was playing on youtube the other day and saw a video of Taylor Swift on The Ellen Show talking about her break up with Joe Jonas. He he called and broke up with her in a 27 second conversation. I thought to myself, it seems no-one is safe from an ugly break up.

Have you ever suffered from a panic attack?
Jul 13th
If you have ever suffered from a panic attack, you will know how truly frightening they can be. When a person finds themself in a frightening situation that they fell they have no control over, they can suffer from a panic attack. This is where your mind perceives a threat so the body goes into a ‘Fight’ and Flight’ response. The fight and flight response is a natural response to danger that releases hormones through the body to enable them to either fight the dangerous situation or to run from it.
The symptoms of a panic attack can vary from person to person. It can include an increase in heart rate, quick and shallow breathing, tense muscles, perspiration as well as many others.
- Have you ever suffered from a panic attack?

- What were your symptoms?
- What did you do?
- Did you know it was a panic attack?

Why aren’t you doing what you know you really should be doing?
Jun 22nd
We all have things that we know we really should be doing, but for one reason or another we simply aren’t doing them. What is your REAL reason? Not the reason you keep telling everyone, and maybe even yourself. What is the REAL reason? Be honest with yourself even if you dont tell anyone else. It really is refreshing and can be quite an eye opener.
