This week we are talking about Regression To The Mean. This is a phenomenon that accrues in a wide array of research that states that if a sample point of a variable is extreme, then a future point will be closer to the mean or average. How does this apply to our lives? Our experiences can be applied to this phenomenon in the same way. If we have an extreme experience wether that experience be bad or good, the likelihood is that future experiences will be closer to average. So when we acknowledge the temporary nature of extreme situations in our lives, we are able to also acknowledge that things will eventually go back to normal. Given this information, and the pursuit of bettering ourselves, our option is to learn from the extreme to improve on our average. If we can improve on the mean, and improve on our ability to deal with the temporary extreme we CAN live better.
