What to Do When You Are Confused

Hello friends! Welcome back. How are you doing? I hope this year is going well for you and your family. So much is going on, and I pray all will be well. 

Today, I want to discuss something about what to do when you are confused. In life, we go through different situations and circumstances. And one of them is confusion. 

Have you ever been in a situation that you don’t know exactly what to do? – Maybe you doubt what you should do. Maybe the end result will not favor you. Or maybe you are not just pleased with what is going on. Perhaps, you are in that situation right now and you don’t know what to do.

Let me start by saying this is absolutely normal and it’s a situation that is part of life. It is a passing phase that will surely go away as no situation is permanent in life.

Depending on what is causing the confusion, whether it is marital, financial, emotional, social, or even spiritual, you can start by finding it out, and relating it to why it’s making you confused. For example, if you are confused about your finances, you don’t know what to do. You can’t find a job. You can’t find a help. Things seem hard and you don’t know what to do.

The first thing I will say is to set aside a time and make yourself relax. Confusion is associated with uncertainty, indecision and lack of clarity. So, when you are mentally loaded with too many things that you don't know what to do, relief your mind off those things first.

Next, is to do things that can reconnect you inside. For example, it can be meditation or prayer. Sometimes, it can just be to be in a quiet environment and just relax.  

Many times, when we go through situations, we don’t know the solutions are already within us. But we worry ourselves looking for answers outside when they are already inside of us.

When confusion comes, stay calm within. Don’t worry about what is going on outside. But focus on within. 

Another thing you can do is to find a like mind to discuss with. There is power in connecting with like minds. "One will chase a thousand, but two will chase ten thousand. And Iron sharpens Iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." That is scriptures. 

There is power in uniting. And when we unite with like minds, there is absolutely going to be great results. And it is through meaningful relationships/fellowship that we live a better life. So, whenever you are going through confusion, find a great soul to discuss with.

Another thing to consider is the end goal. For what you want to do, what is the end goal? What do you want to achieve with whatever is making you confused? Again, if it is about finances, what are the options that you have. Do you have other ways of making money apart from the ones available? Could it be to get help from someone, or start your own business or do things for people for free, and so on? 

You can write all these things down. More options will come when you focus on the end goal. If it is to make money and be happy, there are many ways to do that, and you will get direction on what to do.

More so, you can consider getting more knowledge in your field, acquire more skills or go for events that could add value to you.

I hope these things will help you find solution whenever you find yourself in a confused state, and you will make progress and achieve your goals. Have a wonderful week and God bless you.
