Self-Improvement |

Asking yourself questions is one of the most effective ways to really connect with yourself. And mindfully reflecting on your thoughts and what you are experiencing in life is essential for personal growth. So combining the process of asking yourself questions and practicing mindfulness go hand in hand. Which is why it is so helpful to learn these 24 questions to ask yourself for mindfulness.

One of the best ways to ask yourself these questions is to journal about them.

Write down the question as the journal prompt and then complete your answer. I also recommend coming back to your answers in the future to see how you have grown and changed over time. And don’t be afraid to ask these questions to yourself regularly because mindfulness is something that we have to continually focus on and put effort into.

If you are just starting to journal then I do recommend getting a journal that will hold up like this oneand pens that won’t bleed through like these!

Having the right supplies is definitely important for successfully continuing to journal and enjoying it.

So now let’s get into these questions to ask yourself for mindfulness so you can start working towards practicing consistent mindfulness.

24 Questions To Ask Yourself For Mindfulness

Mindfulness questions to ask for personal growth:

Question 1: What things have been on my to do list for a long time?

Anything that is on your to do list for a long time is probably not important. If it is able to just not get done then it is either not essential to your life or it really doesn’t matter to you. An overlooked part of learning what is the most important priorities to you is also learning what is not important and what is not actually a priority in your life and gives you insight about yourself and be mindful of it.

Question 2: When do I feel the most like myself?

This question can give you such a wonderful look into yourself and is essential for being mindful about yourself. Take the time to really process and think about when you feel the most like yourself and are assured in who you really are.

Question 3: What are your biggest motivations in life?

Understanding what is motivating you and pushing you to keep going and improve yourself is key to knowing about yourself. Be true with yourself when you are answering this question because your genuine motivations may surprise you a bit!

Question 4: What parts of yourself do you struggle to accept?

Having difficulty accepting parts of who you are is completely normal and totally okay. However, refusing to think about those parts and why you can’t accept them may be holding you back from growing as a person and being truly mindful.

Question 5: How do you speak to yourself in your mind?

There is so much power in the way you speak to yourself. So if you are speaking negatively to yourself it could be pulling down your mindset and your life. After answering this question then think about (and journal about) how you can work on speaking better about yourself to yourself.

Question 6: How do I view my relationship with others?

Think about different relationships in your life and how you really view them. Remember that it is vital to be honest with yourself or you won’t be able to be mindful and grow as a person. This is a question you may need to go back to regularly because as you grow as a person your views on different relationships will change.

Question 7: What are some of your biggest regrets?

I am not recommending worrying about these regrets but getting to know yourself better will now always be overly happy. Coming to terms with your biggest regrets is an essential part of moving past those regrets so you can work on living your best life and becoming a better person.

Question 8: What values are the most important to me?

This is a simple question on the surface level but really being mindful and digging deep into your core values is so important to your development as a person. Again, remember to be truly honest with yourself when answering this question.

Question 9: What will help me achieve long term goals?

We often get very stuck in the short term goals in our lives. Which means that our long term goals can get neglected. However, long term goals are the goals that are going to be the most reflective of the life you want to have. So in order to achieve those long term goals you will need to regularly keep your priorities in mind. 

Question 10: How can you work on your self-awareness?

Becoming more self aware can help you have to ask yourself less questions in the future! Because you are more aware of your thoughts and actions and everything behind them.

Question 11: What are my deepest fears?

Fears are something we all have. But it is so important to face all of your fears. Not just the basic ones but the ones that are deeper are the fears you really need to be mindful about.

Question 12: Why am I making my current decisions?

This question is so important for being introspective and helping understand why you are making your current decisions. And answering this question can really help you figure out why you make them and why they are a priority to you.

Question 13: How do you take on a negative or bad emotion?

Rough emotions happen to everyone. And often we don’t like to think about how we handle them. But it’s so important for you to address them in the best way possible. So you need to know how you currently handle them so you can better handle them!

Question 14: What traits do I judge in others?

Acknowledging the traits that you harshly judge in others can give you a lot of insight into who you really are and what really is important to you. So practice being mindful when you ask this question and then again when you find yourself judging others.

Question 15: What do you wish was different in your life right now?

Thinking about what you would choose to be different in your current life can help you think about what is the most important to you. And really thinking about that can help you determine your top priorities. Which also can help you make your future life what you really want it to be!

Question 16: What could you do more of for a happier life?

Happiness is something we always have to work towards. So for this question think about what you truly could do in your life to start being genuinely happier.

Question 17: What do you value most in friendships?

Looking into your friendships and what you value the most in them is important for bettering your friendships and getting insight into what you value! So take the time when answering these questions to really list out what you value the most.

Question 18: What should I be doing more of?

This sounds like a really obvious question to ask but it is often neglected because it seems so obvious. So make sure you are regularly asking yourself what you should be doing more of to help you think about your priories and dreams.

Question 19: How do you prioritize self care?

And if you answer this question that you don’t at all it is so important for your wellbeing to start prioritizing your self care. Because self care is one of the most important thing you need to do for yourself.

Question 20: What praise could you get that means the most to you?

Thinking about praise that is the most impactful in your life can really help you get better insights about yourself. And think about what you are needing in life.

Question 21: What daily changes could I make to improve myself?

Small changes make a huge difference and help you embrace your full potential. So when you are getting to know yourself then use this question as an opportunity to better yourself and learn about the small daily changes you could make to better yourself. 

Question 22: Is there anything I feel like I’m missing in my life?

This question is so helpful for identifying what needs to be added or made a higher priority in your life. It can be difficult to determine what is missing (you don’t always know what you don’t know) but asking yourself and thinking about it is a good start.

Question 23: How can I make the greatest impact?

Asking yourself this question is so helpful for enlightening yourself on how you believe you can make an impact on the world. And hopefully asking yourself this question will encourage you to work on starting to really make that impact.

Question 24: What boundaries do you need so set?

This is the final of the questions to ask yourself for mindfulness!

Setting boundaries is a huge thing that can be very daunting. But is incredibly helpful for maintaining better mental health. So take this question as an opportunity to think about boundaries you need to set and then how you can set them.
