Revolving Remediality
If something is remedial, it has a remedy. There is the potential for change. There is a movement from something toward something else. This change, whatever it may be inspired by, launches from something that is already present. What is already present could be something like an attitude, a situation, a belief, a skill, a fact, or a feeling. In order for something to be remedial, there has to be a place that is moved from, a place to move to and a means to move to the new place.Most often, remediality is attached to positive movement. Remediality usually takes a person to a better, more desirable location. If you were in a remedial math class, you would be moving from a less informed skill level to a better informed skill level and you would have better math skills because of the remediation. This same notion of movement can apply to other things like habits, attitudes, situations, believes, skills, facts, or feelings. Within Revolving Remediality, the possibility of both negative and positive movement exists.
Let me describe it like a swinging
pendulum. Rather than a steady swing
that is centered on the fulcrum, or center leverage point, imagine the pendulum
swinging steadily toward the right – which in this case indicates positive
movement. Gradually, it moves more and
more to the right – the center of the swing shifting toward the positive growth
side. But as it moves toward the
positive right side, there is still some swinging back toward the left. This is negative movement. But it is contained within the positive
momentum moving toward the positive growth side.
What this means is that while we are growing we have swings away from growth for a moment, an hour, a day, or a season. This does not mean we aren’t growing. This can help us release the pressure if we have off moments or even off seasons.
