From Bryon Katie: The Work

Below are some prompts developed by author Byron Katie. Using what she calls “self-inquiry,” you can unearth the seemingly solid nature of thoughts- thereby illuminating the elusive stories we actually create and so powerfully drive our feelings.

See Byron Katie’s website for more information and free worksheets for download. 

• Question 1: Is it true?
• Question 2: Can you absolutely know it’s true?
• Question 3: How do you react—what happens—when you believe that thought?
• Question 4: Who would you be without the thought?
• Turn the thought around (in as many variations as you can find, checking to see what other deeper truths may stem from your initial thought).
