When confusion appears in your mind do not prepare to engage in battle. Stay with it and be aware to observe its inner workings without bonding to the confusion. Detach and observe confusion dispassionately and allow it to slowly dissolve from a safe distance.
Avoiding confusion will only empower it so be sure to face it courageously. Confusion is like a parasite which is incapable of surviving without a host. Watch it alertly from the front window while refusing it entry into your home.
Choose self awareness from the onset of that dizzying, swirling sensation, that whirlwind of mental activity that can result from our inability or unwillingness to remain centered. Getting caught up in the chase of some tantalizing thought or possibility can seem enticing initially, until you have left the ground of your being.
Leaving your center, you are left without leverage, unbalanced and incapable of calling upon your inner resources to provide the appropriate response to a presented opportunity or offer.
As this scenario is often complicated by other imaginings, thoughts, anticipations and possible ramifications played out on the surface of your mind, your innate ability to determine which direction to move in has been compromised. Stop. Wait. Listen. Pull back from the maddening crowd of thoughts and anticipations.
Withdraw from the confusion and halt its momentum. Try now using the technique found here to accomplish this task. Prepare and discipline yourself to observe your thoughts before confusion arrives and your efforts will be rewarded with a seamless and effortless flow in your life.
