I like any question that begins with "How might I...?"

No "shoulds" or "musts" or "will"... Just opening to possibilities.

Ahhhh exactly! Opening to possibilities... I'm going to keep thinking about this. I feel like I can write an even better post about questions sometime down the road! "How might I keep studying the ways questions open me up vs. making me feel closed and tight?"

Have you ever read "the beautiful book of questions" by Warren Berger? It is a fantastic book on the topic!

I like those new questions - they would def help me be less judgmental which is my default mode 🥴 thanks for sharing these more gracious qs!
