rebuilding direction — guide
this guide documents the rebuilding direction phase as a recurring navigation context, not as indecision, failure, or lack of ambition.
it exists as a reference.
not a solution.
what this guide is
this guide is a structured reference document.
it describes recurring patterns that tend to appear during the rebuilding direction phase, when previous orientation no longer applies and new direction has not yet stabilised.
the guide does not provide steps, strategies, exercises, or prescriptions.
it is not designed to produce certainty.it is designed to help you recognise the terrain of reorientation as it unfolds.

this guide exists for periods when that orientation needs to be held without being resolved.
some phases pass quickly.
others stretch across long transitions.

it remains usable even when decisions are deferred.
