#684: The Questions That Will Shape Your Next Year

#684: The Questions That Will Shape Your Next Year

Author: Trish Blackwell December 30, 2025 Duration: 27:52

Most people don't need better goals — they need better questions.

The way you think, decide, and follow through in the next year will be shaped by the questions you ask yourself consistently. In this episode, I walk you through the exact journal prompts I use to design a year with clarity, confidence, and momentum.

You'll learn how to:

• ask questions that create awareness instead of pressure

• spot patterns that quietly sabotage follow-through

• clarify the identity you're building next year

• replace unhelpful inner narratives with empowering ones

• use simple journal prompts to guide better daily decisions

This isn't about setting perfect goals or forcing motivation. It's about asking the kinds of questions that orient your mind, strengthen self-trust, and help you follow through — even when things feel messy or uncertain.

If you're ready to stop drifting into the new year and start designing it with intention, this episode will give you the questions that make the difference.

"The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask yourself."

— Tony Robbins

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."

— Albert Einstein

"If you want better answers, ask better questions."

— John Maxwell
