You need to take action.
And you know it.
You’ve been idle too long.
Thinking. Planning. Learning.
Undecided.
Problem is, you’re not confident which direction to take.
Don’t know which levers to pull or buttons to push.
And in what order?
You feel stuck — borderline overwhelmed by the mass of options and information in your head.
Soon enough, the pressure to just do something hits a critical mass.
You snatch at the trigger.
Rush the move.
And it doesn’t feel right.
Doesn’t deliver results, either.
Causes your confidence to drop even lower.
…Back to the drawing board you go.
More thinking. More indecision.
More uncertainty.
More stress.
And so the cycle repeats.
…I can relate to this situation all too well.
It sums up my life for much of the last 12 months.
I’ve felt a constant tug of war between wanting to act and not knowing what to do.
How dreamy would it be to have someone know exactly what’s going on in your head, separate the forest from the trees, and tell you precisely how to get the results you want?
That’s what I’ve wanted, anyway…
Direction. Answers.
…Certainty.
If you’re in a similar boat, here’s something that might help:
..
…
….Trust.
It’s something I’m trying to remind myself today.
Trust the process.
Trust the fact nobody ever really knows what they’re doing (some people are just better at hiding it than others).
Trust that there probably isn’t a right or wrong way — no “perfect” solution.
Trust in the magic of small steps.
And trust that, one way or another, everything will work out.
Because when you approach this problem with trust you stop worrying so much.
You start seeing failure as par for the course.
It eases the pressure.
And, in the space that appears, you can move freely again.
Why not give it a try?
I find that when trust appears, action isn’t far behind.
