I find that when I get confused I break the problem into little steps that are managable. Then answers usually come.

Well said Bill! Thanks for sharing your insight!

And that’s why it’s helpful to just say “I’m confused as heck right now and that’s ok because I know it won’t last”.

I know the more I try to fight it or work at making things clearer, the more mired I get. Like quicksand!

When things are changing, life can get confusing so it makes sense that confusion and clarity are 2 sides of the same coin. Fine balancing act there

Another way I deal with being overwhelmed is by using an NLP technique – I close my eyes and imagine all these thoughts, tasks and things rushing at me that confuse and overwhelm me.

As these nasty little speeding thought bullets get nearer I imagine a BIG RED STOP sign about an arm’s length from my body (put my hand up too!) and watch them smash against it like bugs on a windshield.

Boy does that make me laugh and lighten up as I realise nothing can past that invisible barrier to me unless I let it!!

Then I pick one thing off the Stop sign at a time and look at ways to approach it. SO much simpler, easier and more manageable.
