Expert tips and techniques for getting the most out of these questions.

Best Practices

Ask Open-Ended Questions

Frame questions that allow for comprehensive answers rather than yes/no responses. This opens up more meaningful insights and guidance.

Focus on Your Own Energy

Ask questions about your own actions, energy, and choices rather than trying to control or predict others' behavior.

Be Specific About Timeframes

When asking about timing, be specific about the period you want guidance for (next month, next year, etc.) to get more focused answers.
