Happy Reading!

When it comes to accomplishing your dreams and goals, feeling lost and unable to find a way to make a decision is so common. You keep searching on Google, YouTube, and other platforms but are unable to find a clear path to take. 

The data you collect from various sources get all mixed up in your brain and make you feel stuck inside your head. It feels like several people are sitting inside your brain and everyone is shouting their theories and you don’t get to know to whom to listen. You feel difficulty in seeing things clearly and making decisions. 

Decision-making is a critical task to do. One wrong decision can put you in trouble. A confused mind can’t make an impactful decision. So, it becomes vital to eliminate the confusion and make your mind clear. 

Here are a few things you should do to prepare yourself before we dive into the tips and tricks that will help you to clear the fog inside your brain.

– Glad you know it

It takes courage to accept where you lack. Be happy for yourself as at least you know that you need to improve something in your life, where many people don’t have an idea about themselves. So, CHEERS for yourself!

– Be positive and patient

I want you to say it with me – Everything is Possible. Say it as loud as you can. 

Everything is possible, providing you make the desired effort to make it possible. So, be positive in every situation. Know it, you are gonna find some way to do what you want to do. Just be positive, patient, and believe in yourself. 

– Take a deep breath and calm down

Tell me one thing, when you are confused and you still keep on thinking about it. Does it take you anywhere? I guess the answer is a clear NO. So, why are you doing this? 

Stop it right now.

Take a deep breath and calm yourself down. Just chill and relax for a moment. Give yourself some time to think properly and work on it.

Getting stuck somewhere is a common thing, it usually happens to everyone. But it is necessary to make efforts to improve it if you want success for a particular goal. 

Here are some exercises you need to do that will end your confusion and help you keep moving ahead. 

Pro tip: Make a habit of doing them regularly. It will help you in the long run. 

1. Write it Down

When you are confused and are not getting anywhere, the best way to get on track is to WRITE IT DOWN.

When you think it, ink it

BRIAN TRACY

Write everything that’s in your mind, good or bad it doesn’t matter. Take a piece of paper or do it on google docs or make notes on your mobile phone, just start writing. Here, I’ve simplified it into some steps to make it easier for you to understand. 

STEP 1 – Write everything that’s in your mind.

STEP 2 – Categorize the things on a short-term and long-term basis.

STEP 3 – Now, for a minute forget about long-term goals and just focus on the short-term goals. 

STEP 4 – Categorize short-term goals on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis (you can further categorize them into 3, 4, or 6-month basis where you can put your long-term goals).

STEP 5 – Categorize daily items into a to-do list, things you want to learn, things you have to search for, etc. 

STEP 6 – Finally don’t forget to mark things that are done and take them off of your list(it gives you so much satisfaction to cut them down).

Doing this small exercise once every week takes the stress away and helps you focus on the things that you need to do. This practice will clear the confusion inside your mind and help you grow.

2. Do one thing at a time

When your mind is in confusion, don’t make it more confused by trying to do everything simultaneously. Rather, do them one by one. Focus on one thing at one time, complete it, and then move to another. Eliminate all the other extra tasks you have in your mind while working on the current one.

Try to complete a particular task from start to finish in one sitting, rather than going and coming, back and forth to complete the same task. 

Don’t give it several sittings to complete a single task. Commit yourself – ‘I’m not going to think about any other stuff without completing this one.’ 

This practice puts an end to your confusion and makes your mind clear. It also helps you with your productivity and eliminates procrastination. 

3. Long-Term Vision

A long-term vision is a crucial thing to have if you want to grow in life. One must have long-term goals to grow their business and become successful. 

But don’t let them haunt you every time you sit at work. Keep them at the back of your mind. Consider them once in a while, maybe quarterly or after every 6 months. 

The best way to do this is to set a goal for a year and then divide the goal into a 3 or 4 months basis, say A for the first 3 months, B for the next, and so on. Now for the first 3 months just focus on A and nothing else. 

Track your performance after every 3-4 months to know what’s working and what’s not and optimize accordingly. 

4. Take small steps

Don’t aim for a big goal to be accomplished in a given period of time. It never happens; as bigger goals are harder to work on. It takes more time to complete them. Also, you will get more confused about what to do first and next. This will demotivate you and you won’t be able to decide anything and end up doing nothing.

In the same case scenario, it is better to break a big goal into small tasks. Small ones are easy to achieve and you can accomplish them faster. Also, you feel satisfied at their completion which gives you the motivation to go to the next step with a positive attitude in your mind.

When the goal is smaller, you are more likely to do it well as you don’t have the pressure on your mind to complete several items on your list.

5. Being consistent

Achieving a particular goal is easier when you are consistent. When you show consistency towards something, you are more likely to achieve that goal whether it’s for your business, life, relationship, health, or anything else. 

It’s hard to develop a habit of consistency at the start but if you become successful in doing so, it’ll be beneficial for you in the long run. 

If you are wondering how consistency is going to help you with the confusion, then this is how…

When you are consistent, you tend to show up every day to achieve a particular goal. And when you take action you get to know what’s working and what’s not working. It gives your mind a clear vision of what to do next and whatnot. 

By developing the habit of consistency, your brain gets used to it and will help you make decisions faster than before. And if you are someone who thinks long term, then you’re going to love this, as this will help you in the long run, become successful. 

6. Stop wasting your energy 

When you are in confusion, thinking about it round and round is not going to serve you. It’s better to stop thinking about them. Sometimes, things are as they are and you can’t do much about them. 

So, stop wasting your time and energy on the things that you cannot do anything about. It’s better to just ignore and delete them from your mind. It will relax your mind and make you stress-free.

7. Meditate

A confused mind is a sign of a tired mind. When you are in confusion, that means your mind needs a break, because it doesn’t have any power left to see clearly anymore. So, it’s time to just stop and give yourself and your mind a break. 

Mediation is a perfect way to give the rest and break your mind needs. Make a habit of meditating every day for about 15-20 minutes at the minimum. 

When you practice meditation regularly, it will not only help you clear your mind but also decrease your stress level. It will give you a clear vision to focus on the things that are important to you and increase productivity. 

Conclusion

Confusion creates diffusion and you obviously don’t want that. So, try to keep your mind as clear as possible.

The exercises mentioned above will help you brush the dust off of your mind and help you see and think clearly. Having a clear vision is vital if you have a particular goal to achieve. A Blurry vision is harmful to your growth. It will take you nowhere; instead, you keep on revolving around one thing. 

Practicing these simple exercises will give you a clear vision of what to do next.
