What do you do when you are confused?

Manytimes when I am confused, I stop thinking about the decesion for sometime, I close my eyes, and relax, during this time I don't at all think about what to decide. When I open my eyes, it becomes easy for me to take the decision and the confusion is gone. What do you do, when you are confused.

I came across this quote a long time ago, "I write to know what I think." When I am confused, I grab my journal and write without stopping. When I have written on about two or three pages in my journal, I stop and re-read what I just wrote. That somehow clarifies things for me. Relaxation does help, too. When I really don't know what to think or do, I pray.

confuson is the result of restless mind. When your mind is preoccupied with many things confuson sets in.Confuson is also due to lack of concentration. What ever may be the cause this happens to all peple at some stage or the other in their life.When you have to decide about the profession say whether to become a doctor or engineer anfter finishing degree whether to study further or take a job.When taking a job whether to accept aparticar offer when there is choice or when you want to marry which girl to select so on so forth. This shows that confuson arises when there is a choice.But if there is no choice the question confuson does not arise.Te next question is if confuson is caused what is the best course?As suggested by you can close the eyes and keep the mind blank for sometime.Then gradually gradually the confuson disappears and you come to some concluson or decision whatever it may be. That seems to be a laudible suggestion. Alternative leave the lace and go out for a walk or a stroll ie leave the scene and try to mingle with others who are engaged in some other discussion.Then mind suddengly gets distraction and your confuson gradually disappears.Engage yourswelf in some physical activity which will also be helpful.Another method is to consult others who have some esperience in the topic about which you are confused and seek their advice.We need not necessarily their advice but thows some light on the confused subject.As far as I am concerned I consult others and seek their opinion.

Well,one of the most hardest thing is to make decision esp a quick one. The best thing to do is take a deep breath,relax and close our eyes say a little prayer.

If I am ever confused then I rearrange my thoughts and try to view thing coherently. This clears my confusion.

When I am confused, I close my eyes for a while, and concentrate! Or I will just answer easily, though recklessly. It's time for you to take quiet time alone and decide who u are and what you want out of life.. Do u want to live in an upsetting relationship and kid yourself that u need to depend on this person with past issues, or, do u want to learn to be independent and know ur own strengths?......................

When i'm confused I'm trying to think of something nice that I experienced, for good friend or for some funny incident.
