WotD: Double back
In life, the path we take is rarely a straight line.
We often need to double back to reassess our choices or revisit old decisions.
To double back means to return to a previous point in your journey.
Whether in a literal sense or metaphorically, doubling back reminds us it’s okay to change direction and that sometimes it is prudent to cut your losses and start over.
Consider a time when you set a goal but realized you were heading in the wrong direction.
Instead of feeling defeated, you might find that doubling back is the right move.
When we double back, we may see things from a new perspective, gaining clarity about what we want.
Life is filled with twists and turns; sometimes, the best way forward is to look behind.
We also experience times when we need to double back in our careers.
Maybe we jump into a job only to discover it’s not the right fit.
Instead of pushing through unhappiness, we can double back to explore other options that align more with our passions and skills.
There is no shame in realizing you have made a mistake.
Embracing this notion can lead to a more fulfilling path.
Even in relationships, we may need to double back to learn how to communicate better, resolve misunderstandings or rekindle a spark.
It’s a normal part of growing and learning.
Life teaches us that sometimes starting over or doubling back can lead to unexpected opportunities and growth.
Remember, life’s best lessons often come when we take the time to look back before moving forward.
