Here’s another helpful phrase I’ve been using lately.
You’ll figure it out.
I say it to myself, when I’m learning something new.
You’ll figure it out.
When I’m stuck in confusion.
You’ll figure it out.
When I’m anxious about making the “right” decision.
You’ll figure it out.
When I’m overwhelmed.
You’ll figure it out.
When I’m thinking about the future.
You’ll figure it out.
This phrase helps, because it reminds me that
- everything is a process
- I may predict the future, but I can’t know it
- I am doing the best I can, with what I have, in the moment
- I am constantly learning
- I will make mistakes
- I have figured things out before
- it’s important for me to lose my investment in the outcome.
I use this with other people, gently, if I think it fits where they are.
Try it, dear reader, if you think it might help you.
The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally 
Great advice! This is something I learned from Danielle Laporte. It’s still too easy for me to fall back into the “I don’t know what to do” mindset, so this post was a good reminder.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I visited your blog, in return, and I’m so glad I did.
