The only thing I change with respect to the run is whether I start eastwardly up the block or westwardly up the block. In a sense, deciding whether I run the route "forwards" or "backwards."
What's interesting is that I don't really enjoy running. I like it, but I don't love it. What I actually enjoy is the routine of things. I enjoy knowing that when I go to be on Sunday night, Tuesday night, and Wednesday night, I have to wake up the next morning, at 7:00 AM, and go for a run. In short, it's not the activity I enjoy; it's the schedule.
So, as it relates to maximizing vs. satisficing, I don't mind having many choices or very few so long as I know that I have scheduled some time to make a selection. For example, I go food shopping every 2nd Saturday of the month, I appropriate approximately two hours for shopping (I go to two, maybe three different stores). When I purchase salad dressing, I don't mind having a huge selection. I don't feel paralyzed by the vast array of salad dressings. And I don't experience buyer's remorse later on if I don't like it. Why is this?
Well, it's because I know I will go food shopping next month (on the 2nd Saturday) to select a new salad dressing.
See, if one follows a routine or a schedule, he/she...
The reason is that one knows he/she will have the opportunity to choose again. It may be the next month or in several years, but the day will come again for him/her to choose and -- this is really the key -- if he/she knows in advance when that day of selection will come again he/she does not feel the anxiety, paralysis, remorse, etc. he/she feels with having too much to choose from. Additionally, one never feels like he/she is "settling" or satisficing, really, for the same reason, i.e. there will be a known future date to correct a past error.
Is my routine a satisficing coping strategy for a life, which creates too many impossible choices? Is it my fishbowl so to speak? I don't know. I don't think so. Again, it is more a mechanism to take chaos out of the equation, to take a precious commodity (my time) and give a structured existence in the physical world, without making me feel less free or compromised in some way, which arguably would happen if one had few choices and no schedule in place.
Therefore, and from my perspective, the key to being happy is not about maximizing or minimizing one's choices, it's about knowing in advance when one will get to make that choice (routine).
…Occupational Stress and Scientific MonitoringLiterature Review2.1 IntroductionThe definition of the term �occupational stress� is derived from the definition of its two constituent words. In this context, occupational refers to anything that is related to the workplace while stress is defined as a natural body reaction from physical, mental or emotional strain in an individual. Thus, occupational stress can be defined as any mechanism by which the body attempts to adapt
Further, "Just as the models of family therapy are, unsurprisingly, isomorphically represented in their corresponding training models and methods, so the development of the clinical reality of family therapy can serve as a methaphor for the training and supervision area." However, in 1988 MFT was truly in its earliest states and not much time had gone by since supervision and training was mostly something that was done and not giving
Such formal means are needed to prevent validity questions as those that came about following the first standards mandated in 1989. This is not to say updating the standards is not without risk, for in modern society counselors must now concern themselves with "litigious" claims in a "litigious climate" (Cobia & Pipes, 2002:140). This means counselors agreeing to serve clients, and clients willing to enter into trusting relationships feel more
slavery and citizenship in Aristotle's Politic: Aristotle believes that most people in the world can be enslaved devoid of injustice as they are born to be slaves.
