Scorpions! ~ rElOadEd...

'Grief' ~ the worst emotion of mankind & the toughest one to handle! Previously, I had written a blog on 'Scorpions!', keeping the focus at the same, i.e., how one can get rid of; instead how to handle the worst emotion, called grief. Here is the link:



Getting rid of the worst emotion, means escapism/ resignation from the problem itself; instead handling the worst emotion, means acceptance!

We all know somewhere deep inside us that 'acceptance' is the last stage of dealing/ coping with any problem, either organisational, or professional, or personal. But many of us gets confuse between the two terms, called ' resignation' & 'acceptance'. Acceptance is not resignation & vice-versa. To get/ build more insights on this, follow the given link below:


So, when Professor asked me, "Do extremely emotional people fits well at their respective workplace???", I reverted my anger/ denial/ depression/ resignation, but not acceptance. As because, deep inside me, I was still being somewhat & somehow dominated by grief, the toughest emotion of mankind! 

Why 'grief' is the toughest emotion of mankind? Let me elaborate it to you (don't worry I'll make it a way good & interesting to you, not a typical theory read): 

At first, check this out ~
People, Yes! 
Recipe to Grief is DABDA (Denial, Anger, Bargain, Depression & Acceptance). For more taste, add 1 tsp of 'Shock' at first, 1 tsp of 'Fear', and lots of 'Performance' in bits & pieces, but watch your every action while performing. As because, every choice has actions & every action has consequences! And you'll taste the finest dish out of grief that you have ever tasted; grief, the worst emotion of mankind, can actually make wonders! Try it.


And now, let's review the underlying theory of DABDA...

The 5 stages of grief, is called DABDA, also known as 'Kubler Ross Model'. The Kubler Ross Model is a hypothesis introduced by Elisabeth Kubler Ross in 1969. This model states that when a person is faced with the reality of impending death or other extreme, awful fate, he/ she will experience a series of emotional stages: DABDA (in no specific sequence).

On contrary to that, George Bonanno (a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Columbia University) argued (along with extensive scientific studies) that most people who experience a loss do not grieve, but are resilient. His findings  concluded that a natural resilience is the main component of grief & trauma reactions. And it's like a 5W1H!

And, back to tier-I... "
"Do extremely emotional people fits well at their respective workplace???"
Especially, if the person is 'a-happy-go-lucky' kind. And the answer is ~ "Change is the only inevitable!"
