This is a great question. However it can be a two edged sword. When used as a rut busting question, this question can open up new thought processes.
When used as a statement of fact, it can reinforce the rut that you are already in.
What do You choose?…..
Here are just a few examples. Will these move you forward or leave you as you are?
What if… I knew all the answers
What if… I could make decisions that would always be right
What if… I had enough money to buy what I wanted
What if… I was fit and healthy
What if… My Life was better
What if… all my dreams would come true
What if… I was Loved more
What if… I had more time
What if… I was famous
What if… I could imagine myself as a success
What if… I had goals for my Life
What if… I was motivated and inspired
What if… I didn’t have to do all this other “stuff”
What if… I could escape from all of this
Will you choose “What if” to open up new opportunities… Now, this moment?

One of the exercises I love from Abraham-Hicks is the pivot. If you catch yourself What Iffing in the negative direction, actually turn yourself around and start walking and talking in the opposite, positive direction. Works every time and usually gets me laughing!
Hi Sandi,
A laugh is always good…’pivoting’ sounds good…you’re kind of flipping your current position…being aware of your negative stance in the first instance would be a key
