Could You Be Creating Chaos and Conflict?

Have you ever asked yourself, "When is my life ever going to calm down?", "Why can't I just get along with people? Or "Why don't people like being around me?"? If so, you need to take a good look at yourself and see if you are the reason for your chaotic and conflicted life.

Some chaos or conflict comes naturally in life. In small amounts, it can be a good thing that shakes up the routine or gets important issues out into the open, but in greater amounts, it is destructive. It's a strange phenomenon, but some people just seem to subconsciously crave and create a lot of chaos and conflict in their lives. 

These same individuals complain endlessly about how chaotic, hectic, crazy and conflicted their lives are, but as soon as it seems to calm down or become more peaceful- they create more. They do this because subconsciously, they crave chaos and conflict because they don't know how to handle life without it.

Perhaps, when their lives calm down or become more peaceful, they become bored with their daily routine. They've gotten so used to having their lives in disarray for so long that they don't know what to do with themselves when their life is calm and peaceful. 

We've seen lots of people that are always rushed, out of breath and scattered. We've also seen so many people that get into spats and bicker with everyone- sometimes intentionally. Some thrive on negativity on social media. It's interesting how negative posts seem to draw more people in, then the positive ones. It seems that negativity and chaos breed more of the same. The old adage "Misery loves company" is actually true.

If you're one of the people that is creating chaos and conflict in your life, it's important to admit it to yourself. It's even better to realize why you're doing it , so you can address the reasons and eliminate them.

If and when you're able to get your life to a more calm and peaceful state, do what you can to not make any life decisions that will jeopardize that. If you already have more than enough responsibilities and commitments than you can handle comfortably, don't take on any more. 

To have a more rewarding joyful life with more rewarding relationships, learn to not sweat the small stuff and not to create discord with others when it's not constructive. If you have some people in your life that drag you into their chaotic and conflicted lives, reassess those relationships and if needed, distance yourself from those people.

Just allowing yourself to live a more peaceful and calmer lifestyle for a period of time, will help you to clearly see that you will live a more enriching life full of more meaningful life experiences without unnecessary chaos and conflict.
