"Why?"
Looking for the cause of problems sounds like a smart idea. It's rarely so.
Far too often, asking ourselves why something happened is the first step in a downward-spiraling process by which we increasingly distract, demotivate and disenfranchise ourselves.
Practically speaking, asking why a challenge exists keeps our attention fixed on the problem at the very time when we'd be better served looking for solutions. More often than not, the question provokes a pointless, pain-inducing wild goose chase down the rabbit-hole of past events and emotions.
What happened when? Who reacted how?
Even when posed with best intentions, asking “Why?” easily leads to a flood of petty details and distractions – right when we're trying cut to the core of our situation as efficiently and effectively as possible.
