Conundrum – A Word for Your Day

By Jane Bishop

CONUNDRUM. Try saying that five times fast! Conundrum, conundrum, conundrum, conundrum, conundrum. How’d you do? Was it difficult or confusing? Did you find yourself wondering if you did it right? Well, funnily enough, a “conundrum” is described as a complex problem or dilemma that seemingly has no easy answer. At their core, conundrums can be confusing, puzzling, and even stressful.

Let’s delve a bit further. Are you at a point in your business or personal life where you seek some semblance of clarity? There are a couple of important ways to go about solving this conundrum. For example, working with a professional coach can give you action steps to help resolve any complex issues. Additionally, talking to a trusted colleague can allow you to achieve the peace or clarity you are seeking.

Regardless of your circumstance or season of life, in this moment, at this time, you can find your own solution to your conundrum. I encourage you to become aware of any issues you may not have noticed and be present with your needs. And once you’re there, go through your conundrum checklist. 1.Ask yourself how you got there and truly analyze what brought you into your situation. 2.Take account of the resources available to you and add them to your conundrum toolkit.

3.Make a decision to act. Moving out of the conundrum state all depends on YOU. Initiating that first action may seem difficult, but any step you take is a step forward.

After reading all of this and analyzing your situation, check in with yourself by asking, “Am I in a state of conundrum?” Look over your conundrum checklist and take the step towards what you need. Peace, clarity, and harmony are never far away if you’re willing to put in the work.
