The Kaizen Way: How To Master Creativity By Asking Small Questions

[...]
Your brain loves questions and won't reject them . . . unless the question is so big, it triggers fear.

But by asking small, gentle questions, we keep the fight-or-flight response in the “off” position. Kaizen questions such as: “What's the smallest step I can take to be more efficient?” allow us to bypass our fears.

If your questions are small, you reduce the chances of waking the amygdala and arousing debilitating fear. If fear is non-existent, the brain can take in your questions and answer them without conflict.
[...]
Your challenge is to ask yourself questions with a gentle and patient spirit.
[...]
If you're in a creative funk right now, ask small questions; if you're consistent, the brain will provide you the answers you seek.
