Disoriented

[Anonymous]

Sometimes I feel confident in my new path and other times I feel a bit disoriented. Does anyone else ever feel like that?

I don’t really like feeling disoriented. Sometimes it makes me think I want to just give up, but I know I don’t really want to give up. It’s just strange to be on this path sometimes.

JM,

Not to downplay your feelings but it sounds like human being syndrome to me

I think we all get disoriented. No one can stay positive and focused all the time. Nothing is constant but change.

It is indeed strange to be on a path that is other than the standard TBM path that most of us sincerely thought that we should be on. (stranger for some of us than others )

Sometimes we just have to work through it. Best of luck.

Absolutely, justme!

I take it as the moments when life is teaching me something. Usually, the lesson is how to work through whatever is happening so I can return to the path of emotional health, staying present, embracing my light, feeling the joy and peace.

The more I experience, the more opportunity to learn, grow, progress. It’s disheartening at times because we want to “be there” already and “stay there” forever. But, I guess, that’s not the plan for life.

That learning/growing/progressing process must be important, because we keep doing it! 😳 🙄 😆

Being confused & disoriented is what is real. Having all the answers is the illusion.

Wow, you guys know just the right things to say! Thank you!

It does seem natural for switching foundations to be a bit disorienting at times. The paradox, to me, is that I’m on a more sure foundation now that I realize I don’t really know anything! LOL

Swim, I have been trying to get present more because I do think that helps me get back to where I feel right (grounded). It’s so wierd to be present after so many years of living in my head.

I wanted to comment on this thread because I have felt like this the last 3 days. Sometimes I am doing great, and sometimes I feel like I would rather be stage 3 again. Most of the time I am comfortable with my uncertainty, but sometimes I find myself wishing for the security blanket that I used to have.

Yesterday, I didn’t want to go to church simply because I didn’t feel like it. There was no good reason, I wasn’t upset and anyone or anything, I just didn’t want to go. I wanted to go on a bike ride (we can do that in sunny Northern California where it is 75 degrees in November). But alas, we couldn’t do it because my wife had to go to nursery and substitute for someone.

Whenever I’m in the disoriented mood I resolve myself to just wait it out. It is usually short lived and I bounce back to being comfortable in my uncertainty.

I love that! It does take time. I’m starting to get the feeling that after enough time on the “rough seas” your sea legs develop to the point that “solid ground” would feel foreign and uncomfortable.
