Confusion is a Natural Part of Change

Video Blog Summary: Confusion is a Natural Part of Change

So for many of us, 2020 was a confusing year. But confusion isn’t always bad. Sometimes it indicates that we are changing. In fact, confusion is a natural part of change.

When you've been seeing things a certain way for a while, you become accustomed to seeing them that way. And then something inside you begins to change, and you begin to see things in a different way. So your life is oriented around that familiar way of seeing, and now all of a sudden, you see things differently.

In a sense, you have one foot one reality and the other in a different reality. The result is confusion. Which reality is real? Things that used to make sense somehow don't make much sense anymore.

So whenever you feel confused, it’s an opportunity to discern how the way you see things is changing. And consequently how you are changing.

So what are you confused about? Is that confusion related to the way you see things changing? When you look at it this way, then your confusion begins to make sense, and then it’s not so confusing anymore.

But the true resolution of such change-related confusion is when you complete your transition in your new way of seeing things. Then things begin to become clear again.

So confusion and clarity are actually cyclical. We move from confusion to clarity and back to confusion again as we change and move around the medicine wheel or wheel of life.

Now of course not all confusion is this natural change-related confusion. We can needlessly confuse ourselves by overthinking things or doing things that create conflict. Or we can get stuck in change-related confusion. But we can learn to recognize these types of confusion as well and move through them.

So don’t let your confusion scare you. Just notice it. Say something to yourself like, “That’s interesting, I am confused about my friendships these days. Perhaps what I value in a friendship is changing.”

So I wonder what your confusion may be saying about the changes you are going through?

Check out the above video blog where I flesh this out in further detail.
