Navigating Change Through Homeostasis and Allostasis
Change is a constant in life, with the average adult experiencing 36 major life changes. Homeostasis, the cycle of stability followed by instability and back to stability, is how most changes are perceived. However, the concept of allostasis suggests moving from instability to a new stability, capturing the essence of achieving stability in a new state after change. This shift challenges the traditional notion of returning to previous states, emphasizing the importance of adapting and growing through change.
