Make things better by making better things.
I’ve been a strong proponent of understanding the decisions one makes under stress. During those times, we have to make choices that we wouldn’t make otherwise. And when the emergency is over, there is no announcement that it is over. So the body keeps reacting as if the emergency hasn’t ended. Over time, this can have massive compounding effects. To the point, it can be as simple as changing the thermostat temperature to trigger a strong response. These things don’t make sense on paper. But they are genuine in our lives. It’s worth doing the work to figure out why we do the things we do. And so often it is because we made a decision long ago that made sense at the time, that doesn’t make sense anymore to keep making today.
