Great video! I learned these were called afformations/askfirmations but I like this terminology too! I love a ‘how’ lofty question like ‘how did my life get to be so perfect?’ It feels more natural to my way of speaking, and gets my mind working on figuring out the method, rather than an explanation of why.
Thank you! I love your thinking process! Thank you for sharing and being a part of the positive ripple effect! Your thoughts are much needed. 🌱🌞🌱🌞🌱🌞🌱🌞🌱🌞🌱🌞🌱🌞🌱
Your posts have given me much encouragement to understand myself and how to handle events...As I see it when I asked, the answer came from your utube...thank you
Yes, that's a great idea. Your brain will be in the slower Alpha wave state at these times, so the answers to the lofty questions will go in at a deeper level.
I like this. I don't know if you have listened to Mike Sweet's NLP podcast. (I have zero expertise here!) but he was also talking about powerful questions. I thought of and wrote a list of questions of things I wanted to happen but I had deemed impossible. Like, "I wonder when I am going to make _________laugh really hard today. " It worked! So surprising! Thanks for reminding me to do this more
Thank you for making these so easy. Lol it's also how you speak to us so smoothly as those you reading it from somewhere on qué even. Thanks South Africa , watching.
I heard about this concept yesterday and i really resonated with it cause i always thought that there must be something else regarding affirmations and i loved the way you explained it, simple and to the point...Thank you for sharing
This video is incredible, very easy to understand. But I didn't understand two questions because of pronunciation problem, one is why is my life always so amazing....... what is the whole sentence please type for me. And another one is last one. Why does the Universe give me more than enough........what was after that?
Hi Kakoli, thanks for your feedback. The first one is "Why is my life always so amazing that it exceeds all my expectations?" and the other one is "Why does the universe always give me more than enough health, vitality, and energy to reach my goals?". All my videos also have blog posts, so that will help you with any pronunciation problems. Here is the link to the lofty questions article. selfhelpforlife.com/lofty-questions/. Hope this helps. Paul
@@SelfHelpforLife Thank you very much! You are a very loving and kind person that you respond me and replied me so nicely. Thanks for solving my problem. I am practicing these all questions. They are really very powerful. I feel some different energy like inspiration or exciting energy inside me while practicing these questions. Thank you so much for this value you have provided us through this video. Much Love :)
Totally new concept,very effective and am glad I learnt it from your great,soothing voice and simple way for implementing.May God give you more energy for more videos of such relevant topics.
Thanks for your Devine guidance. Why universe always unfolds infinite brilliant ideas and unlimited action plan in order to conquer challenges in my life successfully effortlessly instantaneously? Is this ok
Hi Veronica, Just follow the same 4 key components. Here are some examples. "Why is it always exciting for me to learn new subjects?" or "Why is it always easy for me to study effectively?" or "Why am I always so amazing at taking tests?" Hope this helps. Paul
As someone who also struggles with just this sort of thing, you could try asking the question; Why am I always brilliantly calm and articulate when speaking with others? That is if you haven't figured that one out already and if you have then Cheers!:)
Why am I so great at hurling? Why am I so fit, fast and powerfully athletic? Why am I such an inspirational leader? Why am I a social butterfly 🦋? Why am I so calm and grounded to the EARTH? Lofty Questions. Questions are the answers
Hi Berna, the questions are posed in such a way that they will encourage helpful answers, insights or solutions. So often an answer will come naturally. However, never try to force an answer. Asking the questions will help shift your mindset, regardless of whether answers come or not. Hope this helps. Paul
In a relaxed state, how many lofty questions could one ask? Is there a limit before the subconscious gets confused or overwhelmed? Also, can we get specific in our loft questions about income, time frames to achieving a goal, etc? Thank you!
I would keep it to 10 or less. There is tremendous power in your mind focusing on one idea at a time, so less is often more. Yes being specific is fine too. Hope this helps.
Hi Anzella, think of the opposite words to these. Mean could be kind, Angry, could be peaceful, rude could be polite etc? So your lofty question becomes Why do I always meet kind, peaceful and polite people?
Very nice.. what questions Wl it be if my children are not doing good and not getting job. Also I'm looking for bigger house to leave comfortably. Pls help me to create questions. Thanks
Just follow the key principles of phrasing the question in the positive, starting with "Why" and including "always" or "at all times" Here are some examples. Why do my children always do everything it takes to get a great job? Why do my children always do great things? Why is it always easy for me to find a bigger house that I can comfortably live in? Hope these help. Paul
Thank you and one question about health, when I ask why am I always healthy? my mind rejects it...and says No you can't be healthy always...can you correct me please? Shall I omit the word always?? or ask it differently? I appreciate your answer.
Hi Soroush, Yes removing "always" could help. Other lofty questions could be "Why am I always learning ways to become more healthy?" or "Why do I always put in the effort to be as healthy as I can be?" Turning some of the affirmation statements in this video blog into Lofty Questions could be another option. selfhelpforlife.com/affirmations-that-work/ The most important thing is that your mind can accept the idea.
I've never tried it, so I'm not sure. What I have found is that when you change things within yourself, other people often change. It can be quite magical when this happens!
Dear Paul ,Could you help me with a lofty question for my house which is for sale .I want to sell it for good money.Maybe because I’m not very good in English 😌 .I do appreciate it from my ❤️.Thank you
Hi Mitra. Here are a couple of lofty question examples. Why do I always sell my house for X amount of money or more? Why do I always find it easy to get an excellent price for my house? Hope these help.
Its me again dear paul, I want to buy a house that im love with it,But as you say the voice in the head,the house is very very expensive far than where im now ,what kind of question would you help me with to own my company n the house plsi ♥️😍🌹,thanks in advanced
As lofty questions encourage your subconscious mind to provide an answer, they are best done when awake. As you're going to sleep or just waking up could work. I would give it a try and see what happens. Hope this helps.
Great question. I would suggest starting the lofty question with the words "How could I". For example "How could I be surrounded by joy and happiness at all times? or "how could I always learn positively from any experience?" This will help make the lofty questions more believable and more true to you. Hope this helps. Paul
can someone help with this part? What if im asking someting like why do I have so much money I cant spend it all but my inner mind my subconscious you know full well its saying NO YOU DONT ? WHAT are you on about you only have x amount in the bank GO LOOK lol or what made the universe make me so lucky? well my inner mind automatically says even if i try to stop it PFF NAH what u on about? the universe didnt you are always unlucky stupid See????? what am i suppsoe to do
Great question and sorry for not answering it until now. Yes that's the inner critic at play! We all have that at times, including me! What I would suggest is to make your questions more believable. For example, "why is it easy for me to make all the money I need", or "how can I notice the universe helping me to be successful and lucky?" I would also check out my video blog on creating believable affirmations, as the language suggested in this article could be adapted for lofty questions. Here is the link - selfhelpforlife.com/affirmations-that-work. hope this helps.
Why am I so amazing and finding outstanding right people to listen to on UA-cam 😚
Love it!
Great video! I learned these were called afformations/askfirmations but I like this terminology too! I love a ‘how’ lofty question like ‘how did my life get to be so perfect?’ It feels more natural to my way of speaking, and gets my mind working on figuring out the method, rather than an explanation of why.
Thanks! Yes absolutely! The mind loves questions!
Absolutely awesome 🤩 Thank you 🙏🏻👌🏻
This method was originally created by Noah St John and they are called afformations
Aaah yes! I'm aware of his work.
I started using lofty questions in my visualisation meditation. Very effective!
That's wonderful! - Thanks for sharing

Thank-you for being so helpful !!! Scott Morton
You're very welcome Scott
You have explained this very elaborately and in simple terms..thank you. 🙏
Glad it was helpful! You're very welcome Sejal.
What do you think of creating Lofty questions subliminals to play at night as you fall asleep or during meditation?
Yes, that's a great idea. Your brain will be in the slower Alpha wave state at these times, so the answers to the lofty questions will go in at a deeper level.
you are very good explaining these topics , thank you
Thanks!

Can you help with lofty questions for learning new subjects, studies and test taking? Much thanks!
Hi Veronica, Just follow the same 4 key components. Here are some examples. "Why is it always exciting for me to learn new subjects?" or "Why is it always easy for me to study effectively?" or "Why am I always so amazing at taking tests?" Hope this helps. Paul
@@SelfHelpforLife Your thoughts ... Why is it that I always achieve exemplary high marks on my tests, every time?
Just listening to you has brought me a better vibe. How do I ask a question about being more articulate and calm when speaking with others. Thank you.
As someone who also struggles with just this sort of thing, you could try asking the question; Why am I always brilliantly calm and articulate when speaking with others? That is if you haven't figured that one out already and if you have then Cheers!:)
Hi Meena, That's lovely to hear. Yes, Wes's lofty question example is perfect! I would use that.
Thanks for your viedo
You're very welcome Mitra
nice one!
Thanks!
Why am I so great at hurling?

Lofty Questions. Questions are the answers
Hi Aidan, these are awesome lofty questions! Thanks for sharing them.
You do have awesome content. Why did you stop uploading videos?
Haven't stopped. Just taking a break. I'm working on a new video that should go out next week.
good afternoon, these "lofty questions" can be repeated as many times as you want, either silently or out loud??? thank you so much.
Yes that's right. And when you can, out loud is better.
@@SelfHelpforLife thank you so much
Hi again,we have to stick in one lofty question or could be several object.Thank you very much for replying in advane😊💕🙏
Hi Mitra, Yes it's fine to have several. Not too many though - I would say 10 max at any one time.
Just one thing I didn’t understand. Do we answer the question after we asked it? Or do we just ask and leave it?
Hi Berna, the questions are posed in such a way that they will encourage helpful answers, insights or solutions. So often an answer will come naturally. However, never try to force an answer. Asking the questions will help shift your mindset, regardless of whether answers come or not. Hope this helps. Paul

How to rephrase lofty question...why do I get mean/angry/rude people always?????
Hi Anzella, think of the opposite words to these. Mean could be kind, Angry, could be peaceful, rude could be polite etc? So your lofty question becomes Why do I always meet kind, peaceful and polite people?
How often should one ask these questions?
I would do this daily to start with. Once it becomes a habit, you'll find that your brain naturally uses these questions. Hope this helps.
Very nice.. what questions Wl it be if my children are not doing good and not getting job. Also I'm looking for bigger house to leave comfortably. Pls help me to create questions. Thanks
Just follow the key principles of phrasing the question in the positive, starting with "Why" and including "always" or "at all times"
Here are some examples.
Why do my children always do everything it takes to get a great job?
Why do my children always do great things?
Why is it always easy for me to find a bigger house that I can comfortably live in?
Hope these help.

Thank you Sir. I will definitely try this questions and send feedback to you. God Bless you always.❤️🙏

How often per day must these be said consciously mentally
Hi Shenali, once a day is fine to start with, and you can do it more often if you want to.
Hi Paul,I love your videos.my question is can I do it for manifest for someone else?
I've never tried it, so I'm not sure. What I have found is that when you change things within yourself, other people often change. It can be quite magical when this happens!
Thanks I will give a try and let you know if turns positive 😊

Hi Mitra, Perhaps something like "Why do I always take effective action each day. to get one step closer to buying my dream home."
Thank you very much
Can i use How and what too...
About how long does it take to get results?
It varies, and it can take some time. Maybe start with simple questions that are easy to measure.
Bravo?
Thanks Barb
why do i have so much money to buy a private jet
Love it!
Does it is helpful to use lofty questions while sleep instead of affirmation?
As lofty questions encourage your subconscious mind to provide an answer, they are best done when awake. As you're going to sleep or just waking up could work. I would give it a try and see what happens. Hope this helps.
@@SelfHelpforLife Thank you
I definitely going to try and share my experience.
So I am going yo ask questions even though it's not true?
Great question. I would suggest starting the lofty question with the words "How could I". For example "How could I be surrounded by joy and happiness at all times? or "how could I always learn positively from any experience?" This will help make the lofty questions more believable and more true to you. Hope this helps. Paul
can someone help with this part?
What if im asking someting like why do I have so much money I cant spend it all
but my inner mind my subconscious you know full well its saying

what made the universe make me so lucky?
well my inner mind automatically says even if i try to stop it
PFF NAH what u on about? the universe didnt you are always unlucky stupid

How many time?has to be every day?
Hi Mitra, Ideally yes, the more often the better. However, being consistent is important, even if it's 2 or 3 times a week.
Why am I always the pinkest elephant in the room?
