Yesterday we hosted a “changing paths” workshop for students who were unsure of what they wanted to do after their degree. It’s mainly focused on students who are on a set path, such as accounting, and are now thinking about doing something else.
One of the mentors on the course gave a really great piece of advice to the students. She said that when she was confused about work in her masters program, she brought it up with her professor. This particular problem had been stressing her out for weeks. The professor said to her:
“Hmmm…. that work looks confusing to me too. Confusion is healthy though, it means you’re growing. Just don’t let the confusion cause anxiety.”
This stuck with me for the rest of the day. Because we’re so used to confusion about our lives being a negative thing. That we’ll only be happy if we aren’t confused.
However, being confused often means you’re exploring new things or growing.
So if you’re feeling confused about your life, that’s okay. Just don’t let it turn to anxiety.
