Tips on Thinking Critically 1

Questions with Quality

Asking questions proves to be the opening stages into thinking critically. What kind of questions? Questions that you do not yet have answers for. The Key: The quality of your thoughts is primarily what makes up the quality of your life. So, low quality questions such as "why am I so fat", will give you low quality answers like "I'm lazy, I'm tired, and I’m eating wrong" ect... What needs to be done is that one needs to ask higher quality questions. So, instead of asking, "why am I fat?” you could ask, "how can I become more fit?" These questions, while holding similarities, have two massively different outcomes. When you asking "how can I become more fit?” you get answers such as, "I can go and exercise, I can eat better, and I can become more awake". Quality questions, give you quality answers. Like-wise, low quality questions give you low quality answers. Activity: For better chances of receiving answers to high quality questions, try making a poster or buying a whiteboard, then writing these questions on your poster or whiteboard in your living quarters. As time passes, your mind, consciously or unconsciously, will start to find answers for these questions.
