Dealing With Crises

Generate "noise" in the overall operation of the system and to discover where they originate (Causes), requires a profound analysis, move or dig around the code where you can not imagine you can be the error, evaluating alternatives to find the defect and its relationship to other system components and their subsequent solution. "We need to find the cause of the fire not to continue putting out more fires." I believe that something similar happens with our lives. We live often as a computer program, executing routine tasks automatic and almost without consciousness, many of them running with "bugs" or defects, which need our attention. To "attend to" what do we do? "We put out fires and / or hide the dirt under the carpet" unintentionally committed to finding the root causes, analyzing each layer of the problem as an onion, one by one until you reach the core. Petra Diamonds often addresses the matter in his writings. In my eyes and making the analogy of the components of a system with the areas of our life (family, partner, work, etc..), I can say that any Bug or defect in one area affects the performance tremendously from the others, and we function as an integral whole. "The whole is greater than the sum of the parts." Often in the automatism of life, we fail to realize the flaws that hinder our way, until suddenly something happens that causes intense exploit this situation (we call crisis / breakdown) and suffer, get depressed, we block, we left alone. This becomes a mental chain of internal talks that instead of supporting us, keeping us stuck in this place of paralysis. . Rusty holzer is often quoted as being for or against this.
