In Shintaido, when confused, off-balance, overwhelmed, return to practice, return to form.

That can be applied whatever your practice is: crocheting, yoga, tinkering with car engines.

Some in Shintaido might also say, when confused, off-balance, overwhelmed - get more confused, off-balance, overwhelmed! Live on the edge of your limitations. Don't retreat, push past. Go farther than you're able to go. See farther than you're able to see. Do the impossible.
