these 5 journaling questions let you COACH YOURSELF

About this video

Kegley offers five journaling questions intended to let viewers coach themselves, drawn, he says, from his experience investing in coaching and masterminds and compiled for his Metamorphic program. He opens with ownership bias — people overvalue what is theirs and see their own problems less objectively than a friend’s. Question one asks what advice you would give someone else in your exact situation, to gain a third-party view. Question two, illustrated with Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile in 1954, asks what you would do if you were fearless and knew you could not fail, to remove self-imposed limits. Question three asks what — or who — you need to start saying no to, which he links to protecting focus and energy as income and demands grow. Question four asks who you are still angry at and need to forgive, including possibly yourself, arguing resentment lowers your state even if you feel justified. Question five asks what you have changed your mind on, normalising belief and identity change as part of growth. He urges writing the answers by hand for 30 to 60 minutes rather than just watching.

Key takeaways

• Q1: What advice would I give someone else in my exact same situation? — to counter ownership bias and gain objectivity
• Q2: What would I do if I was fearless and knew I could not fail? — to surface actions hidden by limiting beliefs
• Q3: What do I need to start saying no to? — boundaries around people, habits, beliefs and opportunities protect energy and focus
• Q4: Who am I still angry at, who do I still need to forgive? — awareness of resentment, including toward yourself, is the first step to releasing it
• Q5: What have I changed my mind on? — treating change as normal growth rather than inconsistency or selling out
