When the question feels too big
Replace “What's wrong with me?” with a question you can answer.
Bring the question down to the moment you are in: what feels hard, what you need, and what you can do next.
Try the exerciseA short pause. One manageable next step.
A broad question about yourself can leave you with nowhere clear to start. A question about the next ten minutes gives you something concrete to work with.
Try it now
Ask: “What feels hardest right now?”
Name the difficult part.
Be as specific as you can: starting a task, replying to someone, or making a decision with too little information.
Ask what would make the next ten minutes easier.
You might need a pause, a clearer instruction, some food, or a second pair of eyes.
Choose one action that meets that need.
Make the action small enough to take now. You can decide what follows after you try it.
Your answer can change with the situation. Begin with the need you can name today.
