Breakdown?

Ok, so- in a project like the dissertation, it’s likely that, sometime, you will start to feel like you don’t know what you’re doing or where you’re going. You’ve done all you can think of, and don’t know where to turn…and you feel like you might have a meltdown or breakdown pretty soon if the process doesn’t get any easier. Though a breakdown may not always be a bad thing. Let me explain: sometimes, not knowing precedes a flash of insight and momentum- we get confused and uncertain because we are about to evolve to a new level of understanding and insight. When it looks like a breakdown, it might really be a breakthrough. Where in your process can you shift your perspective from breaking down to breaking through?
