What do you think about being interviewed?

As you are moving through each day, do you ever find yourself feeling "off"? Maybe you're doing what you always planned to do, or you're following your dream, but things just aren't feeling right. Well you are not alone!

Over the years, we have given you a variety of tools to help you start digging and make sure that you were on track to create the change you want in your life. This week found another simple technique that we had to share with you! Chris Guillebeau has a great suggestion in his Non-Conformity Blog.
that recommends periodically hosting an interview with yourself in order to make sure things are moving along according to plan.

That's right, you will actually set up a time to sit down alone and answer questions just as you would if you were interviewing someone else about their life. The question may vary depending on your specific situation, but they are designed to help you dig deep and figure out what's going on in your life, and how to make adjustments if you need to. Have fun using Chris' techniques and be sure to let us know how it goes!

Action:
Conduct An Interview With Yourself. Write out interview questions and schedule a time to interview yourself. Then honor that time commitment, go through with the interview and see how your life stands in your eyes.

The following exerpt comes directly from Chris' Blog:

First, sit yourself down wherever you like to sit. Get coffee or your drink of choice. Turn off the distractions and take it seriously. (Wouldn’t you take another interview seriously?)

Then you open the conversation like this:

"Dear self, you are x years old. What do you have to show for it? Are you living the dream?

As you look back on your life, what are you most proud of, what do you regret, and how do you feel about each of those things? Here are a few follow-ups:

* What’s next, self?
* Why do you do the things you do every day?
* What do you really believe in? (What do you know to be true?)
* Where do you find your security?
* What bothers you, and what are you doing about it?
* What worries you?
* If you had one year left to live, how would you spend it?"

Of course, when you interview yourself, you can customize the interview however you see fit. The point is to make sure you know why you’re doing what you do, and if you should make any changes.
