Feeling lost just means you’re somewhere new. That’s information, not failure.

Being lost and failing feel identical from the inside, which is why they get mixed up. Lost only means the map you brought does not cover the ground you are standing on, and that happens every single time you move somewhere unfamiliar. It is a description of the terrain, not a verdict on you.

When the feeling shows up, ask what changed recently rather than what is wrong with you. Write down the few things you do know for certain. Start from those fixed points and let the rest fill in at its own speed.
