Welcome to Big Idea Tuesday!\xa0\nOn today\u2019s Broken Brain Podcast, our host, Dhru Purohit shares two big ideas to help you end and overcome confusion.\nThere is a difference between confusion and not knowing. Not knowing the answer to a question doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re confused, it just means you don\u2019t know. \u2063\u2063\u2063Confusion is not knowing, but needing to know. The \u201cneeding\u201d changes everything; the needing is where the anxiety and stress comes from.\u2063\u2063\u2063\n\u2063\u2063\u2063\nWhen people say, \u201cI\u2019m so confused, I don\u2019t know what I want,\u201d they are really saying one of two things:\u2063\u2063\u2063\n\u2063\u2063\u2063\n1) \u201cI don\u2019t know what I want, but I feel I should know,\u201d or\u2063\u2063\u2063\n2) \u201cI do know what I want, but I\u2019m afraid of the consequences of my decision.\u201d\u2063\u2063\u2063\n\u2063\u2063\u2063\nIf you don\u2019t know what you want, take a breath and slow down. The answer always comes if you are willing to be silent enough to hear it, and allow things to unfold. \u2063\u2063\u2063\n\u2063\u2063\u2063\nIf you do know what you want, but are afraid of the consequences of your decision, address the fear by writing your fears down on paper. \u2063\u2063\u2063\nInterested in joining Dhru\u2019s Broken Brain Podcast Facebook Community?
