Walking Around in a Fog: What to Do When Life Feels Unclear

Walking Around in a Fog: What to Do When Life Feels Unclear

Tap in!—a lot of people are walking around confused right now. Uncertain. Disconnected. Smiling on the outside, but inside? They’re questioning everything. Their purpose. Their path. Their next move. And if that’s you, I want you to know: you’re not alone, and you’re not crazy.

Life has a way of throwing us into seasons where nothing makes sense. You’re doing “all the right things,” but the results aren’t lining up. You’re showing up, but you’re not sure what you’re showing up for anymore. That fog? That’s real. But it’s not permanent.

So what do you do when you’re in that space?

1. Pause and Get Quiet

Sometimes the confusion isn’t because you don’t know—it’s because there’s too much noise. Too many opinions. Too many distractions. Get still. Turn down the volume of the world so you can hear your own voice again.

2. Ask Better Questions

Instead of “What am I doing with my life?” try “What feels aligned right now?” or “What’s one small step I can take today?” Clarity doesn’t always come in lightning bolts. Sometimes it comes in whispers.

3. Stop Comparing

Comparison is a thief. It’ll rob you of your peace, your pace, and your purpose. Just because someone else looks like they have it all figured out doesn’t mean they do. Focus on your lane. Your timing. Your assignment.

4. Lean Into Faith

When logic fails, faith steps in. You don’t have to see the whole staircase—just take the next step. Trust that you’re being guided, even when the path isn’t clear.

5. Talk It Out

Don’t isolate. Confusion grows in silence. Find someone you trust and talk through what you’re feeling. Sometimes just saying it out loud brings the clarity you’ve been searching for.


Here’s the truth: You’re not lost. You’re in transition. And transitions feel messy. But they’re necessary. They’re sacred. They’re where the old you fades and the new you starts to emerge.

So if you’re walking around with uncertainty, don’t panic. Don’t rush. Don’t numb it. Sit with it. Learn from it. And know that clarity is coming.

You’ve got this. Even when it doesn’t feel like it.
