I admit that I have trouble following directions. When somebody tries to give me directions that are complicated, I stop listening and figure things out on my own.
Maybe I should be following directions I give others and ask for what I need. The next time I have trouble following somebody’s directions, I’ll direct them to slow down so I can take one step at a time.
Yesterday, as I was following directions during a group psychotherapy conference, I noticed these directions:
I remained calm while hearing the following directions during the group therapy conference:
- Put your feelings into words.
- Take interpersonal risks.
- Let go of old, unhelpful scripts.
- Connect with others.
- Use the support that’s available.
- Embrace the beautiful fiasco of being human.
- If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito in the room.
Are any of the directions in this post worth following?
I am following directions at YouTube to share the following directions scene with you:

I am following my own directions for expressing appreciation, so thanks to all who helped me direct today’s post and to you — of course! — for following me here.
I won the geography award in the 9th grade but I get lost in a 12 room house.
Despite your sense of direction, Carl, I love following you.
I have the same problem about follow someone’s direction. If it is long then I often get lost about one step or two step away. I could not take them anymore from that point 🙂
You did a great job following my directions! ❤
i am much the same and always have been. love this post, ann –
Love your posts, Beth, and I’d follow you anywhere.

Sometimes even when trying to accomplish something specific we have to figure things out on our own. At least that’s my feeling when it comes to directions and why I tell people “I’m not lost, I’m exploring.”
I’m lost in admiration for you, Chris.
The message I came away with today – Embrace the beautiful fiasco of being human … and not a mosquito 😎
I embrace your beautiful messages on WordPress, Val. ❤
I also vote for the “beautiful fiasco of being human” instead of being the smooshed fiasco of a once-mosquito on the other end of a human being (that would be me!) making a difference in this world. BTW, I don’t think anyone’s written directions will ever help me swat a mosquito. For whatever it’s worth. 🙂
I love the worthy difference you make in this world, Elouise.
Jackie claims that I have no sense of direction, so it wouldn’t do me much good to follow any – I’d make at least one wrong turn
I’ve never seen you make a wrong turn on WordPress, Derrick.
🙂
I am following your directions to leave a comment- but I would have done so even without your direction to as I love the Volunteer poster- it is so very true- it changed me in ways I could not have imagined! For directions I always use Waze!
I use Waze too and I love the ways we follow each other on WordPress, Lisa!
I such at verbal directions I need to see things to get it
I suck at verbal directions too, Joanne.
I have LONG said (thirty years) that I am direction dyslexic. I do not say that jokingly….I truly am.
I love the way you truly are, Colleen.
The path your on is the only one you have – let it be!
Bridie.
I’m glad your path led you here, Bridie.
I’m beaming your itinerary led you here, Bridie. I manipulation Waze too and I dear the ways we play along each other(a) on WordPress, Lisa!
Glad you followed directions here!
