When you don’t know what to do, what do you do?

Doing nothing is also taking action. So what happens in your time of doing nothing exactly?

I would think it depends on the situation but perhaps being pinned in places where you cannot decide freely, then there’s nothing to decide or ‘do’ but to experience something that the logical mind will eventually need to consider and maybe merge with you at some point. And then that period of pause provides the next steps for the mind to then prompt all of you to do something…What happens in the midsts of you and you is always a mystery and your mind isn’t initially always invited to ‘know’ or ‘understand’.

Seeking advice might help things. There are a lot of lived experiences out there and people with stories to share.

Worst case scenario, do things you enjoy doing. It won't feel like wasted time and you can process what you need to process at your own pace

@TinyViolins That’s very true. Making all of that more focused into what’s going to benefit you most. You’re right, emotions aren’t best handled by reason but giving yourself a different approach. At least, what I needed to hear now. Thank you 🙏 That’s a good way of framing it👍

@AltDel777 Glad it helped. Struggle is nothing new to me either. It's a process that's fraught with difficulties and dead ends, but sometimes you reach a point where you can't keep doing the same old same and hoping for different results. A little bit of novelty goes a long way towards changing our perspective.

@TinyViolins Absolutely. And I’m no stranger to novelty or changing shit. I just…. Overthink things…😶😑* quietly walks off*
