25 Questions that Will Change Your Life

Back in the day when I was struggling with my weight and my overall life, I noticed something fascinating. I asked  mysel the worst kinds of questions. Things like: Why am I fat? What can’t I do (insert goal here)? Why can’t I figure this out?
Why am I not smart/pretty/rich enough?

Your mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy.
It all depends on how you use it.  {tweet it}

Your mind will answer any questions you ask of it. So, ask it a poor question, and you’ll get a poor answer. Ask it a great question, and you’ll receive mind-blowing answers.

For example, every time I would ask myself, “Why can’t I lose weight,” I’d discover numerous reasons. But, when I started asking, “How can I lose weight without the drama,” I began to discover a new way to live. I call it Slim, Chic & Savvy.

These days, I’m all about living with beauty, elegance and passion. I want to continue to upgrade and expand the quality of my own life. This requires that I constantly ask myself high quality questions, because . . .

The quality of your life is directly proportionate
