ANIMALS continuously exposed to a uniform damaging stimulus at first display the symptoms of the ‘alarm reaction’ and later pass into a resistant phase.
The hypothetical measure of an individual’s capacity to resist stress is adaptation energy according to Maxwell Maltz
In this work, notably Psycho-Cybernetics and Psycho-Cybernetics and Self-Fulfillment, Dr. Maxwell Maltz describes adaptation energy (also referred to as “life force”) as the “propelling fuel” that drives a person toward their goals!
It is like a Each person is believed to have a finite amount of adaptation energy, which is used to cope with different types of stress.
Energy expended to cope with one type of stress, such as staying up late, results in less being available for other stresses, such as training.
When adaptation energy is low, a person is more likely to suffer from stress-related diseases and conditions known as burnout and rundown!
In short anything which increases your adaptation energy will increase your healing power!
Maltz compares a human without adaptation energy to a car without gasoline; it is the energy required for the subconscious “Automatic Success Mechanism” to function and move toward a target.
Maltz suggests that this energy is used to cope with stress. He argues that mental attitudes—specifically a positive self-image—can influence how this energy is spent, thereby affecting the aging process and general vitality.
While not explicitly called “adaptation energy” in every context, Maltz’s famous observation that it takes a minimum of 21 days for a new mental image to “jell” is a practical application of this concept. He noted this 21-day window in patients adjusting to physical changes (like surgery or limb loss) and in himself when forming new habits! This adjustment time of 21 days is actually very personal and effective! Will write about that sometime!
Maltz emphasizes that because adaptation energy is finite and can be drained by “crisis thinking” or “stress,” individuals should use techniques like mental relaxation and visualization to gently reprogram the self-image rather than trying to “bully” themselves into change!
In short there is no shortcut for success you have to work slowly steady to build up both your body and mind! Remember that Hanuman ji is not only a very powerful being but also very knowledgeable! Which is maybe why most Indian wrestlers pray to him before they start their wrestling journey!
Wish your mental and physical journey be blessed on this day of Hanuman jayanthi…
Praying for peace…
