🤷‍♀️ What to Do If You Feel Like You Don’t Know What to Do

Let’s just get this out of the way:

If you feel stuck, frozen, lost, confused, overwhelmed—or just plain blank—you’re not broken.

You’re not behind.

You’re just human.

And actually?

You’re in a perfect place to make change.

Because when you feel like you don’t know what to do, what’s usually happening is:

Your mind is looping in logic—and your body is craving a deeper answer.

That’s where hypnosis comes in.

Not as a quick fix.

But as a deeper reset.

🧠 The “I Don’t Know” Loop is a Trance

You might not realize this, but…

Saying, “I don’t know”

Yep. You’re hypnotizing yourself.

Not on purpose. Not in a “bad” way. But you’re repeating a suggestion to your subconscious—and it’s listening. Always listening.

And your subconscious? It takes that message seriously.

It hears:

We don’t know. It’s not safe to act. Better wait. Better freeze. Better overthink some more.

And so the cycle continues.

So… what do you do when you feel like you don’t know what to do?

You don’t need more thinking.

You don’t need to Google harder.

You don’t need to spiral into shame or compare yourself to people who “have it all figured out.”

Instead, you interrupt the loop.

And here’s how you do it:

🔄 Step 1: Flip the question.

Instead of asking:

“What should I do?”

Ask:

“How do I want to feel right now?”

This might sound too simple. But hear me:

Your subconscious doesn’t work in spreadsheets.

It works in states.

So if you can connect to a feeling state—peaceful, grounded, motivated, open—you’ve just given your brain something it can work with.

You’ve shifted from “problem mode” into “resource mode.”

🌀 Step 2: Give your subconscious a new suggestion.

This can be subtle. It doesn’t need to be some grand epiphany. Try something like:

• “Even though I don’t know exactly what to do, I’m open to clarity.”
• “It’s safe to pause. It’s okay not to know yet.”
• “Every breath I take helps me reconnect with my own wisdom.”

(Notice how different that feels than “What am I doing with my life?!” 🙃)

These aren’t affirmations. They’re instructions.

They’re reminders that your subconscious is still on your team—even when your conscious mind is confused.

🔍 Step 3: Listen to your intuition’s whisper, not your ego’s megaphone.

That little flicker of curiosity? That small sense of relief when you imagine one option over another? That’s your guidance system.

Hypnosis doesn’t force decisions.

It makes it safe for clarity to rise.

And clarity? Doesn’t always show up with trumpets and a five-point plan.

Sometimes it shows up as a quiet yes in your body.

Sometimes it shows up as the thing you don’t want to do anymore.

Either way—it counts.

What’s Next?

If you feel like you don’t know what to do, you’re actually standing at the doorway of possibility.

You don’t need to rush.

You don’t need to have the whole picture.

You just need to reconnect to yourself.

And that’s exactly what hypnosis is designed to help you do.

If you’ve been stuck in the “I don’t know” spiral and want help resetting that inner script, DM me or come to a workshop. You don’t have to figure it all out before you take the first step.
