Opinion | Not Everything Has to Be Meaningful

And with the benefit of time, most people found at least some meaning and growth. Yet even then there can still be meaning and growth. For some participants, symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder gradually rose during the first three months of recovery before they started to subside and shift to a more positive trajectory. Do what you can to hold onto the fact that what feels like forever now probably won’t in the future. If you find immediate meaning and growth in your experience, that’s great.
Opinion | Stop Resisting Change
  + stars: | 2023-08-30 | by ( Brad Stulberg | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Allostasis is defined as “stability through change,” elegantly capturing the concept’s double meaning: The way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent. From neuroscience to pain science to psychology, allostasis has become the predominant model for understanding change in the scientific community. A healthy response to change and disorder, whether it’s within ourselves or our environments, is one based on the allostatis process. You stop fearing change, which is to say you stop fearing life. Fortunately, the same science agrees that we can also become stronger and grow from change and that much about how we navigate change is behavioral; that is, it can be developed and practiced.

Opinion | The Case for Obligation
  + stars: | 2023-05-20 | by ( Brad Stulberg | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The roots of these mammoth trees, stretching some 200 feet into the air above us, run only six to 12 feet deep. Instead of growing down, they grow out, extending dozens of feet to each side, enmeshing themselves with the roots of their neighbors. This is why we never see a lone redwood: They can survive only in a grove, bound together in obligation. But in our age of autonomy, efficiency, boundaries and self-care, we too often deprioritize, if not overlook altogether, the wellspring of strength and meaning that comes from obligation. If we commit to certain people and activities, if we feel an obligation to show up for them, then it’s likely that we will, indeed, show up.
