ADJUSTING TO CHANGE


Most people self-manage their physical and emotional balance by managing countless combinations of large and microscopic adjustments every moment of every day. Energy is used or misused, directed or misdirected as one system responds or reacts to a different system. Individual units and entire systems maintain a functioning balance or initiate entropy or decay. The effect of disequilibrium in any system, sets responses in motion that either stabilize or destabilize the entire mechanism. The simplest shift in balance can throw the entire balance dynamic into chaos. Sometimes such a loss of balance, in emotional terms, creates a spin. A human being can quickly respond to an emotional spin when even a simple piece of the infrastructure starts to wobble. A complicated disturbance can enact a very complicated response. The good news is that most people are healthy and manage their balancing act quite nicely . The bad news is that some people respond and react to the slightest change in environment. Some healthy people are hypersensitive. Some unhealthy people are hypersensitive.

The essentials of human response, according to top personality theorists, focus on such intangibles as the belief in free will, the specific structures of the personality (ego, traits, motives, skills, spirits, predispositions), whether someone holds a belief in a utopian principle, and any number of strengths and weaknesses. But the best way to understand how people respond in different situations is much less complicated. People are people and people are different. People have differences. Different people are different. Life stimuli are infinite. Different people experience different events, incidents, experiences, thoughts, feelings, moments, places and things differently. In terms of the workplace, different people respond to different things differently. Now, is that so hard to understand? Of course it is. But let it suffice to say that in terms of human responses at the work site, healthy employees have good days and bad days. Less than healthy employees have good days and bad days. Evil, bad, horrible, rotten people have good days and bad days. Shuffle all the influences, change + X factors, together with all the changes possible with all the people possible and all the X factors possible, and you will understand that any response is possible in any situation. So you need to be ready! Ready does not mean, "done learning." There is never going to be a universal Emotional Continuity Management plan or process that will fit everyone. If someone tells you it exists and will handle everything, then consider it dangerous.
