52 Personal Inventory Questions to Ask Yourself

Personal Inventory Questions to Ask Yourself

I am all about building a solid personal foundation and taking personal inventory, so for a couple of weeks now I have been looking for more personal inventory questions to help with self confidence, communicating my needs to myself and the Universe and just getting to know myself better. The questions I came up with run the gamut from politics to your favorite celebrity, from religion to your favorite sports team. I often think of personal inventory, as evident by my Blog, and I find myself knowing exactly what I want on some questions and I have to think twice about others.

I have compiled a list of those questions and thought to share them with you. Grab your journal or a note book and answer the questions below. Writing down your answers will also activate your subconscious and you find yourself discovering more about yourself. I can not stress the importance of knowing who you are, what you like and don’t like enough, these are the values or filters you make all your decisions from. I was pleasantly surprised after answering the questions myself, I feel like they somewhat changed the trajectory of my life. Which was cool cause I needed some insight…

Wow! What a great list! This should be made into a book or perhaps workbook if it hasn’t already. It resonates with me. I created an ‘outside of the box’ type book when I created and started publishing personalized books (http://www.youramazingbook.com ). It was crazy, weird, wonderful and heart-warming for those who have bought them (over 20,000 so far).

I think you’re on to something here. This is cool!

I might add that these are questions that everyone needs to answer and write down.

What a wonderful idea. We rarely take the time to really think about who we are and what we want.

Vered, you are so right, I was answering the questions a few months ago and when I had to pause on the basic questions to think, I know it was something I needed to focus on.

Thanks for stopping by hope to hear from you again.
