Confusion can be a good sign
Being confused can be good. I know that sounds strange. But confusion is part of the change process. If things are staying the same, you are rarely confused. Confusion happens when you change and start to do things differently.
A Change Model
Change has 3 steps:
1. Endings of old ways or making room for new ways. This is the step that is often overlooked.
2. Neutral Zone where there is the push-pull between the old ways and the new ways. This causes confusion and a feeling of discomfort.
3. Beginnings of new ways and clarification. This is where we often try to start and have trouble.
So without confusion, you can’t get to clarification which leads to success. When I am feeling confused and discombobulated, I know I am making a great change. That means success is on the way!
Keep working through confusion and you will be successful. What healthy choice will you make today? Let me know.
