It always feels good to have a plan. When we know where we are heading it is easier to take action with confidence.
When we aren’t sure exactly of our direction it is harder to feel sure of our best course of action. In this situation it’s often easier not take action because we are concerned about doing the wrong thing and wasting time and effort.
Today we are going to tap for those times when we are hesitant about taking action because of our concern that it’s not the right one and will be a waste of our resources.
I Don’t Know Exactly What I Want So Am Afraid I Will Waste Effort By Doing The Wrong Thing
(audio 3m49s)
I wish I had a clearer vision…I wish I had a sharper focus…About what I exactly wanted…And about exactly where I want to head…But I don’t have that…I only have a vague idea…A sense of something that might be right…And because I lack confidence…In this goal and how it works for me…I give myself permission…To be easy with myself…Knowing that pursuing this fuzzy goal…Is not going to be a waste of time…And it’s not going to be a waste of effort…Because every single time I take action…I’m going to learn from that action…Every single time I try something…I’m going to get feedback…About how it feels…About what it leads to…And about what is next…So even if I don’t know exactly where I’m going…Taking effort in moving towards a fuzzy goal…Is going to move me down the path…Is going to help me understand…What I do and don’t want…Even if I move in the wrong direction…That movement is going to crystallize my goal…Is going to help me to understand what’s next…And so it becomes a useful action…Even if it’s heading in a direction…That isn’t the way I ultimately want to go…I won’t know where I ultimately want to go…Until I start trying…Making effort towards fuzzy goals…Is making effort to clarity…And with this clarity…I can make it to the right spot.
perfect script. perfect timing.
