It is what it is…. OR IS IT? Ask yourself this question and depending on
where you sit on any given day, your answer will be different.
Chaos – it’s sometimes considered a bad
thing for those who get overwhelmed and life becomes unmanageable and most
would like to UNLINK from their lives.
For others, chaos has been a ‘positive coping
mechanism’ of productivity that the brain has learned to accept and excel
through despite its presence. For this
group, they consider it a LINK that helps prevent them from stagnancy in life.
For another group, chaos is a LINK that
just is and it is examined as something that is unavoidable unless they avoid
it altogether through mere escapism.
Does this have to do with different types
of personalities? YES. Which one are
YOU?
First let’s take a look at what YOU
define as chaos. Do you know?
Take a step back and define it. Write out a sentence that tells you YOUR
personal definition of what that is. For
some, it’s a huge life altering thing.
For others it’s much smaller daily life issues or inconveniences which
are only considered chaos based on the issues of controlling order in one’s
life!
Ah ha!
Yes. Is this becoming clearer to
you? Do you see how you relate to chaos
and how others might and where MISCOMMUNICATION about what chaos is can create
conflict?
You have to remember, not everyone views
life the way you do. We are all
individuals. How we define things and
how we relate to things is going to be different, therefore the approach in how
we handle it may be different. There is
not any ONE right way to solve a problem or find a solution or cope or deal
with chaos.
If you are finding that most of your key
and critical arguments with another person at home or work or within your
circles are based on your viewpoints – it’s time to re-examine the idea that
people process circumstances, events and occurrences very differently.
Being able to deal with chaos has both a
beneficial as well as destructive pattern based on one’s method of working with
it vs. working through it or detaching altogether and it is based on mere
perception and application of how you choose to examine it within your own
life.
For the manager types, they examine
chaos as something to be ‘organized’ or ‘compartmentalized’ within a structure
of daily life. It is something specific
to contain and isolate in order to effectively manage and deal with its
presence.
- For the creative visionary types, they wish to look at the chaos in a way where they turn it into something positive like making it as a way to bring others together.
- For the healer types, they wish to examine chaos like a disease to overcome and heal with dissolution of its negative impact on the human body and psyche.
- For the leader types, they wish to walk through the chaos process pulling others through it by following through an example of strength.
- For the warrior types, they wish to conquer chaos as something to survive.
- For the analytical/philosophical types, they wish to pick apart all the pieces of chaos to understand it so they no longer fear it.
- For the task-mastering types, they wish to examine chaos as a to-do list to tackle piece by piece instead of as a whole, to thoroughly and efficiently get through.
Chaos is not insurmountable. If it feels like it to you, then perhaps you
are not quite sure which ‘type’ of personality you have and have been
addressing it as one personality when your strengths lie in another arena!
Eureka?
Yes.
You were born with the ability of ‘survival’
instincts. But sometimes because of life
circumstances and how you were brought up to ‘deal’ with chaos is a transferred
and learned behavior (because that’s how your family or friends dealt with it) –
so you think you have to deal with it in the same way.
The truth? You can handle it and get through it if you
tap into the method that is more compatible with how you like to show up in
your own life. Why chaos may seem overwhelming or impossible to cope with and
why you may wish to escape it, has more to do with how your brain has been
trained to look at it.
Confronting chaos may seem like a
difficult thing to do. However human behavior will show you that it is not as
scary as you think it is – it just may be scary to the ‘personality type’ of
transferred learned behavior you’ve been used to in how you’ve coped with it. For all you know, all this time you’ve been
coping with chaos in a way that is NOT WHO YOU ARE.
This is why it is important to connect
to your own instincts … which may not always be logical to how your brain has
examined the method in coping with the set of circumstances you’ve been dealt.
Is this a LINK that can be changed? YES, ABSOLUTELY!
You can choose how you take a look at chaos
and switch how you handle it. Sure,
flipping the switch is not easy. It most
certainly won’t come over night either. Yes, you have a choice... did you know that? Release the blockages which tell you that you don't and embrace the idea that you can change what doesn't work for you within your own life in how you cope, how you deal and how you manage every circumstance you're dealt.
Therefore, taking the time to journal
for yourself daily to see how you handle situations and get through them, gives
you an front and center view at what has worked and what hasn’t.
It is here you get to focus on your
strengths and weaknesses in a chaotic situation. Take a look at what seemed
easy versus what seemed challenging and more difficult and you will soon see
over time that some of your weaknesses become strengths.
Those weaknesses that remain are not really
weaknesses at all – but rather those are the very key LINKS that can be altered
in perspective and a new chosen method of how you handle chaos becomes clear
and evident.
This is where your LINK to chaos is a positive
LINK in how you’ve learned to adapt, adjust, change and tweak a LINK so that it
works for you and LINKRONICITY can now flow freely in what used to be an
obstacle you once thought was difficult to overcome.
Namaste.
