We all get confused at times, but
prolonged periods of this can cause us to feel that we are stuck in a
never-ending web of uncertainty. Confusion can make us feel powerless. What
if you knew that confusion was good
for you? It is also a sign of powerful change.
If everything made sense all the time, how would you ever grow?
1.
Accept where
you are: Sometimes, you get confused
because you are meant to be stuck. This is usually a sign that more information
needs to be delivered before you can move forward.
2.
Be patient: Being
confused is a sign of change and you may need to let the journey unfold more
before you make a decision. Be at peace with the fact that you don’t have all
the answers.
Just accept the way things are, and trust that motivation will
reach you when the time comes to make a decision. If you do need to make an immediate decision during a period
of confusion, the best thing to do is tune into the wisdom of your heart.
3.
Focus on what
you know: When you are confused it can be easy to get trapped in a web
of constant, recurring thoughts that appear to never end. To clear this, start
focusing on what you don’t feel confused about. Start focusing on what you are
sure about. When you do this, it will automatically help to weaken the cloud of
confusion over your life.
Go with how you the certainty you feel inside yourself. Begin
taking a step forward, and see how it feels. Keep slowly walking in that
direction. Be steady until you are ready to take that leap of faith. The beauty
about being confused in life is that there really is no wrong turn or wrong
path.
4.
Take a deep
breath: Center yourself, and firmly state,
“I don’t know what to do, and
that is okay.” When you firmly state your uncertainty, you move out of
the confusion, and into certainty. The more you focus on your
certainty, the more at peace you will feel with where you are at. Trust
that every road you travel is a needed lesson for your life.
“Times
of great calamity and confusion have been productive for the greatest minds.
The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace. The brightest thunderbolt
is elicited from the darkest storm.” (Charles Caleb Colton) [i]
