Today I would like to talk about surviving stress.
I know I have talked about this before, but feel I it is important to talk about it again because of all of the stress that has been created by the pandemic.
Within each of us is a tolerance or intolerance for the opposite states of chaos and order. This is a biological phenomenon not a psychological phenomenon. Since the body is designed to always reestablish balance, if you cross your system’s threshold for either too much imposed order or too much chaos then it will automatically attempt to restore balance by creating the opposite.
Okay, now lets apply this information to our current pandemic situation.
The out of control-ness of the pandemic, is subjecting many of us to too much chaos. Also in order to get the virus under control in some cases it is subjecting many to more imposed order than their system can handle. As a result we are seeing a lot of crazy reactionary behavior.
Now it doesn’t matter if you have a low or high tolerance, what is important is that you know how it feels when you cross that threshold and you know how to restore balance quickly and effectively.
This information can help you stay centered, and clear during difficult and challenging situations.
With this in mind, I invite you to explore some of the ICWIB! art activities and videos for FREE. Why? They are a simple way to help you discover if you have crossed your threshold for either too much imposed order or too much chaos and also help you restore balance quickly and effectively.
