385: Changing Your Relationships Through Your Primal Question with Mike Foster

Published: Sept. 21, 2023, 8 a.m.

What if everything you do in your life is actually driven by one question \\u2013 a question that is unconscious to you but acts as the command center for how you show up in the world?

\\xa0

That question is what Mike Foster calls your \\u201cprimal question,\\u201d and let me tell you, when I discovered mine, it was like my whole life made sense.\\xa0

\\xa0

Mike developed The Seven Primal Questions system based on his research and work as a coach.

\\xa0

The idea is that we all have a question \\u2013 like, \\u201cAm I safe?\\u201d or, \\u201cAm I loved?\\u201d \\u2013 that we didn\\u2019t get answered in childhood and that we continue to ask as adults.

\\xa0

When the answer to this question is \\u201cyes,\\u201d we feel good and become our best selves.

\\xa0

When it\\u2019s \\u201cno,\\u201d we start scrambling. Our emotional reactions, compulsions, unhelpful behaviors and survival strategies (things like perfectionism and people pleasing) are all attempts to get this question answered in the way we want.

\\xa0

The cool thing? When we understand our primal question and the question of our loved ones, we can change everything about our relationships by healing our wounds, connecting to our gifts and intentionally answering each others\\u2019 question with a \\u201cyes!\\u201d

\\xa0

I LOVE this system, and I\\u2019m thrilled to have Mike on this show giving us a crash course in it as he breaks down the seven questions, their corresponding \\u201cprimal truths\\u201d and \\u201cprimal gifts\\u201d and how these questions can show up in our lives in different ways.

This tool is a GAME CHANGER for more consciously relating to ourselves and others, and I\\u2019m thrilled to share it with you! It gets down to the core of what makes us tick and shows us how to love ourselves and the people in our life better\\u2026and who doesn\\u2019t want that?

\\xa0

\\u201cIn our early childhood, we get imprinted with a primal question\\u2026The primal question just represents our highest...emotional need.\\u201d - Mike Foster

\\xa0

\\u201c\\u2018Am I safe?\\u2019 is really about survival\\u2026where security is really about, \\u2018Am I resourced appropriately to be able to protect myself and sustain myself?\\u2019\\u201d - Mike Foster

\\xa0

\\u201c[That\\u2019s] what children do, we perceive the world we\\u2019re in and then we make conclusions about it.\\u201d - Mike Foster

\\xa0

\\u201cThe other side of the question is what I call your primal gift, and it\\u2019s this superpower that every question has.\\u201d - Mike Foster
