The Costanza Effect

 The Costanza Effect

  

One of the unerring truths of life is that when we're stressed, we regress.  As the little annoyances start to bubble up and cluster into big irritants, we have the tendency to blow our tops.  Not only does this preclude a mature, rational approach to problem-solving, it exacerbates the situation.

When you're in a hole, stop digging.  When you see a fire, don't throw gasoline on it.  When the guy with the football has been tackled, don't pile on top after the whistle blows.  Pick your cliché or metaphor, but you get the idea.

As people let stress steer them into a regressed mindset, I think of George Costanza from the "Seinfeld" show.  In nearly every episode, life found a way to frustrate George into some level of frenzy, tizzy, and explosive outburst. 

In one memorable story, Jerry was at a dealership looking to get a new car while George tagged along for moral support.   Hungry from missing lunch, George spent the entire episode trying - and failing - to find something to eat.   He just missed the last of the free donuts in the customer lounge, his Twix bar got stuck in the vending machine, and he became convinced that a mechanic came in after him and stole it.  By the end of the show, George emits a primal howl to the universe in utter exasperation.  He has completely regressed to the level of a shouting infant in a playpen!

Stress is, was, and always will be the number one issue in building and maintaining a healthy, love-based life.  It does nasty things to us physiologically, as well as psychologically.  Stress limits thinking and reason.  The Seinfeld reference above treats it for laughs, but it can actually become quite serious, even dangerous.  Stress stinks. 

  

Look for ways to eliminate the sources of stress from your life.  Think intentionally about how you react to situations, and choose to avoid stress.  It takes a determined effort and lots of practice, but if you don't want to regress, you must limit your stress.

  

Be Well,

Kenya Trip 2013

2013 KENYA TRIP

"Promoting Healing: Transforming 

the Inside to Champion the Outside"

Dear Friends , 

We have been blessed with a request to return to Western Kenya to help administrators and staff working with orphans who have come from some very difficult circumstances -- and you have the opportunity to play a vital role in this outreach.

From Nov. 22 through Dec. 6, our Center or Victory team will be at work with Love Unleashed, one of the four overseas Abba's Arms Ministry efforts supporting children at risk. Last year we had the chance to positively impact the lives of 2,500 children, and we hope to do the same this year.

Here's where you can help.  Tax-deductible donations to support this training can be made by clicking here:  

Enter your pledge under "Living Love Special Projects" and enter "Training and Consulting" in the box next to the dollar amount. If you would like to send your donation by mail, please send a check or money order to:

Love Unleashed
12002 Arnold Road
Orrville, OH 44667

We are indeed blessed -- you and I -- and it is our special privilege to reach out to these children, whose suffering comes through no fault of their own.  Thank you for your prayers and support as we prepare to return to Kenya.

Be Well,

~Eric
