How to go from Confusion to Clarity

How to go from Confusion to Clarity: The First Step

Have you ever felt like you wanted something different, but you weren’t sure what it would be?

This can be so hard because you know that you want something different, but you can’t take the first step toward something until you know what you’re moving to.

When I was in a career that I no longer felt aligned with, I knew I wanted to make a change. But I felt completely stuck because I had no idea what I wanted to do instead.

It took several steps to go from confusion to clarity, but my very first step was to start decluttering.

I started decluttering because although I wasn’t sure what I wanted, I knew for sure what I didn’t want, and I needed to remove that first. My life was filled with obligations I didn’t really want anymore, due to bad boundaries of the past, and relationships that had served as hard lessons to remind me of what I didn’t want. But the easiest way to start was with the physical decluttering.

I realized my life was filled with stuff I didn’t want. Stuff in the form of physical objects, including a heavy treadmill that I never used.

I started decluttering everything that I no longer wanted, used or needed. I gave the treadmill to my neighbor who was a runner, and when she came to pick it up, she looked around at my newly emptied space and said, “It looks like you’re getting ready to move to Paris or something!”

And that’s how it felt. I felt excited for the changes as I cleared my space. Each object that I gave away represented a finished chapter in my life, and I realized that decluttering the old started an energetic shift. Letting go of what I didn’t need or want anymore created space for the new energy to flow in. And the new energy brought new ideas and new possibilities instead of keeping me stuck in the confusion of not knowing what the next step would be.

Letting go of what I didn’t want anymore was the first step towards clarity from confusion and the prison of stuckness. It was an energetic shift that opened up infinite possibilities.

So if you’re feeling like you want something different, but you don’t know what it looks like yet, start by decluttering and getting rid of everything you don’t want. You’ll make space for the new energy to come into your life through ideas, visions, and new opportunities.
