I've been having a lot of change in my life lately - well at least ideas of change, and I realized something. There is a threshold the body and mind can take.
This has led me to dub this post the Carter Threshold of Change Theory.
The universe and individuals are fueled by change and by evolution. If we remain stagnant, we cease to evolve and develop, we die literally and figuratively. If we evolve unnaturally or too rapidly, weird stuff happens - there is threshold, a balance for enabling change.
In my quest for inner fulfillment, I have sought answers and many have been thrust upon me recently. However, I'm finding that today I reached my limit. Just like when you sample a new dessert and take that first bite, and are intrigued, then pleased, then mildly euphoric, then proceed to polish off every last bit of that dessert only to find an hour later you feel sick to your stomach, oversatiated, and even gastrically overwhelmed. Well, that's been my week. I feel like I've taken too much in too fast and now my body and mind are starting to reject it.
If you're one of those superhuman people that have it all together, this post may not apply. But for the rest of us, it got me thinking that it might serve us well to be "grazers" when it comes to change. Just as for most people it works best to eat many small meals throughout the day to experience the optimal health benefits of food, so too might we take this approach with changing our life.
Biting off the whole enchilada might make you puke. Sampling change in smaller bites might ultimately be more in harmony with your system - and more fulfilling in the long run. So have fun with it, and "bon appetit!" (Enjoy the process - enjoy the meal!)
