There is no rulebook. But we don't have to make ourselves crazy; we don't have to be so afraid. We don't have to do recovery perfectly. If it feels like we need to do a particular action, we can do it. If no action feels timely or inspired, don't act on it.
This was tricky for me to learn, until I learned to be still and listen to my inner voice. If something felt "right", it probably was and if it didn't, it porbaby was better to wait or do nothing.
I learned that waiting is an action, doing nothing is an action, because it's a choice I make about what to "do".
Sometimes I still make mistakes, but my odds of doing the right thing improve if I am honest with myself and am still and just look within.
