I can identify with shame because I want to be alert whenever I need to return to a situation. I want to make things right. That’s me.

Rather than beat ourselves up (misuse and misinterpret shame), we can listen to the wisdom of our body and think, “Yes! It’s working!”

[Deven Christopher @deven_hd]

Gaining a comprehensive understanding of how homeostasis shapes who we are allows us to identify with our behavior and extend grace to others for their actions.

A sustainable marriage must counter the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that natural processes are irreversible. We cannot undo emotional infidelity, as entropy always increases. So, why take the risk?

Reflect on your moral compass. Has it been tested lately—during happy hour, lunch, or personal texts? Infidelity often begins when expected behaviors become less predictable.

Work-life begins with communication, but it’s not always straightforward. We want to express our natural selves while avoiding questionable interactions that could cause needless concerns or questions for those we love.

[Deven Christopher @deven_hd]

We publicly declare how we want to live, committing to make that change. If this change is so important to us, why do we choose to wait a few weeks—or even months—before starting to become the person we want to be?

Antonio Damasio:
The popular notion of homeostasis—if the reader can excuse the incongruity of having the words “popular” and “homeostasis” in the same sentence—conjures up the ideas of “equilibrium” and “balance.”

[Deven Christopher @deven_hd]

But we do not want equilibrium at all when we are dealing with life, because thermodynamically speaking equilibrium means zero thermal difference and death. We do not want to use “balance” either, because it conjures up stagnation and boredom!
