How You Can Use the Energy of Chaos for Positive Change?

Finding Your Calm in the Midst of Chaos
Chaos brings you uneasiness, and it also invites opportunities for creativity and growth. So how can a state of complete confusion be both constructive and destructive? Chaos is nothing more than a dynamic which described uncertainty, confusion and disarray but it is your actions which create your experience within the chaos.
Creating Meaning out of Chaos
Emotional attachment to your expectations can either encourage or restrict your flow of personal growth and new opportunities. Your choice, you could either stand in one place and let it all go through you, or you could take advantage of your sense of chaos by acting wisely within the shifting dynamic. This makes your perception the instrument of change that will help to create your outcome.
The process of creating meaning out of chaos is not unlike putting a puzzle together. Imagine a pile of puzzle pieces sitting on a table, no picture, just the puzzles pieces.
The puzzle pieces representing disorder and confusion is symbolic of chaos until “put together” when the shift within the dynamic becomes orderly and meaningful. By letting go of the rigidity that is often associated with thoughts of what “should be” and instead entertaining thoughts of what “can be,” you encourage a process of insight and calmness. In this way your thoughts can act as your navigational tools, generating alternate pathways that can go under, over, around, or through the obstacles and confusion that is chaos.
