"Why?" – The Tiny Question That Keeps You Young at Heart!


Austin Santee

The Magic of Asking "Why":
How We Can Learn A Lot From Kids.

Dear Reader,

Remember when you were a little kid, and your favorite question was, "Why?" You'd ask it about everything, driving the adults around you a little crazy, but you were onto something big. That tiny question was your brain's way of doing push-ups!

As we grow up, we tend to ask "Why?" less often. Our brains get a bit lazier, and those "Why?" muscles don't get the workout they need. But here's a secret: keeping that curiosity alive is like a fountain of youth for your mind.

Staying curious isn't just child's play; it's crucial for our brains, especially as we age. It's like a spark that keeps our thinking bright and our spirits high. And guess what? Those brain areas that love rewards and learning new things, they thrive on curiosity.

Children have the unique ability to renew our zest for life through their curious nature and adventurous spirit.

Here's the scoop:

  • Curiosity isn't just about asking questions; it's about being eager to explore and discover.
  • It might get quieter as we age, but it's a key player in keeping our minds, hearts, and bodies in tip-top shape.
  • Our brains have special areas that light up with curiosity, helping us feel all the good feels when we learn something new.
  • Keeping the curiosity flame burning can be as simple as trying out a new hobby, chatting with friends, or staying active.

Now, let's connect the dots to Positive Intelligence coaching. Tapping into the sage perspective of curiosity is like unlocking a secret level in a game. It's not just about knowing more stuff; it's about deepening self-awareness, sharpening your mindset, and strengthening relationships.

When you're curious, you're open. You see challenges as puzzles to solve, not just obstacles in your way.

So, let's bring back the "Why?" game. It's not just for kids; it's for anyone who wants to keep their brain young and their life vibrant. And as your Positive Intelligence coach, I'm here to guide you through it.

Together, we'll explore how curiosity can lead to a more fulfilling life, one "Why?" at a time.

Stay curious,

Austin Santee
