Adjustment
There are many kinds of adjustments, both personal and collective; financial, aging, health, marriage, children, volume, chiropractic, position, social, cultural, location, dietary…the list goes on and on.
Adjustment is defined as making a small change or alteration to achieve a desired result; to make something fit or be more suitable…to have things work more smoothly. It is the process of getting used to, adapting, to a new situation.
To make an adjustment is to compromise, improve or modify a circumstance or situation to reduce cognitive dissonance, lessen stress and enable a greater sense of inner peace. To adjust is to cope with change as positively as possible.
“Getting older and adjusting to all the things that biologically happen to you is not easy to do and is a constant struggle and adjustment.” ~France McDormand
Yes, adjustment is a struggle…a little struggle like adjusting pillows for maximum comfort, or the great struggle of dealing with great personal loss.
“Life is the continuous adjustment of internal relations to external relations.” ~Herbert Spencer
As you move into your week, I invite your awareness to focus on your personal adjustment process, paying special attention to your successes and noting the presence of your authentic self and the power of your faith.
Blessings!
