Since Christmas Boy and I read (well, HE read, and I followed along) Breaking The Rules, I've learned to ask this question of my clients. I do this because by the time I meet them, they perceive that their lives are in disorder and all they can see is what's NOT working. They're unhappy to some degree, and they've brought me in to solve the problem. Einstein said, "A problem can't be solved using the same thinking that created it." This means I have to address the client's attitude and mindset and help elevate it before I can help them change their habits, their environment and therefore, their lives. The problem was created by the past mindset and thinking, so we need to change it in order to solve it.
I like to set the tone and "re-boot" their attitude by asking them what's RIGHT with their life. When they become present to what IS working, what IS good, what IS fabulous, they shift their focus from the relatively small percentage of negative in their life to the huge percentage of positive that's already there. It's a wonderful way to begin a session.
