“Calm in the middle of chaos” A Jolt of Joan for the week of Sept. 22, 2013

Calm in the middle of Chaos

Chaos follows adversity.
We might experience shock, dismay, a sense of being buffeted about, a loss of control.
Though unpleasant, some misfortune will enter our human lives.
How do we navigate it in a way that allows us to stay afloat?
William James, the father of modern psychology tells us that
“Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.”
In other words, stop fighting it or asking “Why me? Why now?” It is what it is.
Many Coloradoans faced raging floods invading their homes and collapsing bridges and roads.
Keeping centered in the calm of our innermost being allows us to navigate these devastating circumstances.

About the Author: joanking

Joan King’s life path embodies the blending of the hard and noetic sciences. At the tender age of seventeen, she stepped into life at the Dominican convent in her hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana. Eleven years later she left that religious training to become a chemist, and then received a Ph.D. in neuroscience and psychology. Her twenty-year tenure as a professor at Tufts University School of Medicine, lead her to a dynamic crossroads of personal self-discovery. She left academia. Her new found "inner knowing" ignited the writing of her first book. It became the foundation in understanding how our bodies model the teachings of our beliefs. Joan King’s blending of science and spirituality birthed her professional coaching business, Beyond-Success LLC, in 1998.
