Adjust­ment is an unavoid­able, vital aspect to the sta­bil­ity of life, such as a con­trol valve that changes the water level of a river. In a sense, adjust­ment means rec­og­niz­ing, adapt­ing and chang­ing some­thing in any given cir­cum­stance so as to make it suit­able for one’s own benefit.

Such is the case with some­one who has to adjust accord­ing to a change in their work shift. When that time comes, rarely are we ever afforded the abil­ity to fully pre­pare for the change that occured. Instead, we have to tweak var­i­ous aspects of our rou­tines in accor­dance to what­ever will incur bal­ance in our lives. It’s never easy and most of the time it means step­ping out of our com­fort zone and under­stand­ing what needs to be done in order to sta­bi­lize one­self. For the indi­vid­ual who changes to a night shift, this means adjust­ing their sleep sched­ule to meet the demands and needs of their respec­tive position.

Another exam­ple of mak­ing an adjust­ment could be bud­get­ing one­self in order to pre­vent finan­cial chaos. One first has to rec­og­nize the issue at hand and then make the choice to change and con­se­quently adapt for the bet­ter­ment of the sit­u­a­tion. The out­come of mak­ing this adjust­ment might mean the dif­fer­ence between scrap­ping the bot­tom of the bar­rel or wad­ing above surface.
