Confusion is a joy, a blessing. If your life isn't already exactly where you want to be, then you should be regularly feeling some confusion -- and working through it.
I've found the exact opposite tendency in myself naturally... my brain and body dislike being confused. So when I get into confusing territory, the temptation is to go onto something I've got a high degree of certainty on -- checking Hacker News, or running to something else that's familiar.
But sitting there, really fully confused, is the way to work towards it. Recognizing and owning the confusion, embracing it, having a big question mark in the thought bubble above your head. You own your confusion, you get more results.
