A few tips on how to find your dominant question. Number 1, look for patterns. When you are faced with a challenge or difficult situation, sensitize. Awareness is the first step to learning anything. You can't change something unless you know it's there. So you go from unconscious to conscious. Look at the patterns. Where does your mind go and what are you saying to yourself? Number 2, when you are journaling stream of consciousness about things, see the pattern of your thoughts. You start seeing that there's a certain cadence or Or certain ideas repeat itself. The third idea is feedback. Talk to your friends, talk to your family, because they probably have some insight in terms of how you think. They could see what you can't see. The fourth thing is meditation. The idea here is when your thoughts go outside of your meditation, when you pull it back, you exercise your focus. What does that do? Later on in the day when you need to focus and you're getting distracted, you have a pathway you built through neuroplasticity to regain your focus from the thing that's distracting you, like when you're meditating, back to your focus. The last thing I would say as a bonus tip, look at your results because those results are not random. Those results come from focus.
