Handling Confusion - Part 3 By Sam Foo At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Continue from Part 2, and below are the steps to handle confusion:

Don’t wait for clarity to take action.

Trust your feelings. I have often heard people in my workshops talk about how once they achieve clarity then they will move forward on a plan. I have found that I rarely have clarity going into the unknown, be it a new job, a new project, or a new love affair. I may have it in a few days, months, or even years later and think, Yeah, that was a good thing I did. I’m sure glad I did that. But going into it? Usually not.

What we are asking for when we ask for clarity is a guarantee that, if we do this thing, we will have success. We confuse clarity with guarantee. We want clarity in order to make sure that we never make a mistake and that everything will turn out all right forever. However, not waiting for complete clarity does not mean you have to jump into something impulsively and hope that it will take you where you want to go. You can set an intention to stay in your flow as you move in a certain direction.

Focus on the results you desire, the feeling of success and happiness you want.

Instead of waiting for the phantom clarity to emerge, begin to imagine yourself feeling good. We create change from within, although we usually forget this. You will move ahead further and more quickly if you think about how good you are going to feel when you have the new results. If you act from a place of confusion and upset, things do not usually turn out well.

Make a simple but authentic statement that inspires you.

Think back to a time when you felt really great and on purpose. For example, a woman in one of my classes remembered a time she felt a lot of pleasure when she decorated her apartment – painted the walls vivid colors, put up curtains, frame some pictures, and place some plants in her kitchen. As she thought about her pleasant memory, she wrote down some of her feelings. Out of that memory, it occurred to her how important beauty and simplicity were to her. Her statement was “I am a being who lives in joy, beauty and simplicity.” This simple statement is a good mantra or affirmation of how she wants to feel. Life will always move us in the direction of our strongest intention.
