Adjustment
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.

Yeah, for the most part, I’m okay. :)
Sometimes, writing posts like these, allows me to vent a bit, clear my thoughts and focus on what’s important.

Thank goodness :)
I usually just sit in the lotus position for a while, but who knows what I’ll do when I have a journal of my own…

I had to go back and re-read your post just to be sure you said what I thought you did. So, tell me how do you plan for chaos? Chaos, by def. can’t be planned for or contained. Yeah, just hang on and wade to the shore. And if you ever figure out how to plan for chaos, let me know.

Well, I didn’t mean it that way :) What I meant is avoiding chaos, not planning for it.
