(11) Process - Open Pie Chart

Your sign for the value of robust coping skills without the demon perfectionism. Obtain positive results by organising tasks into segmented compartments, yet with openness to allow for flexibility.
You can get things done more efficiently, make directional plans, improve concentration, avoid procrastination and decrease stress, while promoting the emotional feel-good factor that comes with achievement.
This Rune guides you to examine the way you organise the everyday processes of living. Process is an active journey rather than a goal.
The Pie Chart symbolises distinct tasks in compartments, each to be completed along the way, with an open area for making suitable changes as your journey proceeds. However, if you have chosen one direction over another – Path A over Path B – and subsequently mistakes occur, rather than wasting time on regret, learn from the slip-ups for when you take Path C.
The Rune of Process urges you to recognise the advantages of being well organised and systematic in the ways you think and act. Being chaotically disorganised may cause biochemical stress which compounds problems.
In order to make stress-free progress, you can choose to be more conscientious with perseverence, whether embarking on a physical project or mentally processing new information.
Psychological research suggests that if you find yourself having to deal with traumatic events, your process of emotional protection can be to stay busy. Sometimes the best strategy is active distraction. Much later on, you might even be able to process your chosen distraction into a worthwhile project.
A happy aspect of this Rune is finding 'joy in the process' of being and doing, particularly when you focus on something or somebody outside of yourself. Complete immersion in a good cause is a prime example of how to induce feelings of joy.
If you allow yourself to become totally absorbed in a process, while applying effective organising skills, you will find any perceived problems you may have, morph into manageable issues with constructive solutions – your life becomes so much easier.
With a positive attitude towards life’s processes and a determination
to employ robust coping strategies when the going gets tough, you will be able
to delight in a sense of achievement – even if it is not quite what you had in
mind when you started.
This Rune is a member of The Performance Set consisting of domains relating to the need for engagement in physical and mental activities and taking personal responsibility therefor.
