Summary: <p>Welcome to Big Idea Tuesday! </p><br><p>On today’s <em>Broken Brain Podcast</em>, our host, Dhru Purohit shares two big ideas to help you end and overcome confusion.</p><br><p>There is a difference between confusion and not knowing. Not knowing the answer to a question doesn’t mean you’re confused, it just means you don’t know. Confusion is not knowing, but needing to know. The “needing” changes everything; the needing is where the anxiety and stress comes from.</p><p></p><p>When people say, “I’m so confused, I don’t know what I want,” they are really saying one of two things:</p><p></p><p>1) “I don’t know what I want, but I feel I should know,” or</p><p>2) “I do know what I want, but I’m afraid of the consequences of my decision.”</p><p></p><p>If you don’t 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. </p><p></p><p>If 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. </p><p>Interested in joining Dhru’s <em>Broken Brain Podcast </em>Facebook Community?
