If you don’t know how to proceed in a situation reframe the situation as an experiment.
In an experiment there is no right or wrong, there is just determining the outcome you want, taking some action, and evaluating the outcome that resulted.
If the outcome is not what was desired, you can repeat the experiment process until the outcome you want is produced.
Having the mindset of experimentation takes away the need to determine the right action. This also removes overthinking and encourages taking action.
Life is a grand experiment to engage and enjoy.
