The Four Stabilizing Questions
To cut through an emotional upset, to keep order in a crisis, to think clearly and come to grips with your problem:

  1. Be Definite.
    Answer the question:
    What exactly am I troubled about?

  2. Be Rational.
    Answer the question:
    Is it certain, probable or only possible?

  3. Be Wise.
    Answer the question:
    How important is it?

  4. Be Practical.
    Answer the question:
    What shall I do about it?


These are actually from GROW's book, but I liked them enough that I thought I'd share them with you.
