Imagine that tonight while you’re sleeping, a miracle is going to happen that will completely solve the problem you are struggling with, once and for all. How will you know, when you wake up, that the miracle has happened and the problem is solved? What will be different for you—how will you think, act, or feel differently once the problem has been solved? What will be different about the day ahead of you? Are these questions already helping you think or feel differently now, at least a little bit? How can you make this happen more often?

In certain situations, I have asked the miracle question of my patients at the hospital. It really can open new paths. It's like giving them permission to envision what they want opens those doors.

Perna, do you like SparkPeople and would you recommend it to people trying to lose weight?
