When was the last time you had to make a decision but didn't know what to do?
For some people, that's a daily occurrence. When you're lucky -- and very skilled -- it doesn't happen nearly as often.
Centered problem solvers figure out what to do when they don't know what to do. What could that be?
They ask questions. They get help. They stay curious.
It's easy to become polarized by a problem. Easy, but not useful.
When you don't know what to do, stay centered (breathe!) and curious. There is help somewhere -- maybe what to do is to find that help.
