How to Know You're Truly Lost - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Do you ever get lost?

I know – it’s tougher than ever to get lost trying to drive somewhere. We have Waze, Google Maps, Siri – so many ways to help us get where we’re going, and yet, now and then those apps fail. How do you feel when you’re lost? Panicked? Frantic? Irritated? Angry?

Can you make yourself laugh in that moment? Because if you can, you’ll put your brain in the mental space it needs to be in order to problem-solve for you.

When we’re in panic mode, or are scared, irritated, or angry, flight or fight is in charge inside your skull, and that process is overkill when you’re looking for a street name. Making yourself laugh triggers the creative, problem-solving parts of your brain.

When I’m feeling lost, I remind myself that I’m not truly lost unless I accidentally cross a state line. Ok, so yes…I did do that once, and it made me laugh even harder. And I was back on the right track less than two minutes later.

You will be, too – remember to laugh instead of feeling lost. It’ll get you where you’re going and you’ll be better company when you get there.
