No, but now that you've reminded me, here are a few possibilities - things that, when I go through a chain of reasoning about them and find answers, make me feel particularly successfully luminous and lead to useful results:

  • What changes could be made to this situation I dislike that would make it totally okay? (Partial points if you can come up with mitigating factors that don't completely fix it, but not too many points.)

  • How do I feel about $PERSON? Why do I choose to spend time around $PERSON? Is that a good reason?

  • Am I in some sort of unusual mood, right now? Was I when I took $ACTION? Where did it come from? Can I induce it or banish it on purpose?

  • Am I likely to do this thing I (intend/agreed/plan/want) to do? If not, what would make me likely to do it?

Hmm, someone ought to create an LQ test, and/or a Luminometer app based on questions like that.
