You are what you think and experience. It's always essential to foster healthy psychology, emphasize problem-solving, and encourage innovation.
Psychological balance refers to a state of equilibrium between an individual's mental frameworks and their environment. This balance is achieved when expectations align with new knowledge, and it is a natural pursuit because disequilibrium is inherently dissatisfying.
Achieving Cognitive Equilibrium
-Equilibration: Equilibration is an ongoing process that refines and transforms mental structures, forming the basis of cognitive development.
-Assimilation: Assimilation involves modifying new information to fit existing schemas.
-Accommodation: Accommodation involves modifying existing schemas to incorporate new information.
Factors Influencing Well-being
-Protective Factors: These include child, family, and community strengths that promote positive mental health. Child strengths include a healthy physical status and intelligence. Family strengths include a cohesive and supportive environment.
-Risk Factors: Risks such as premature birth, poor health, and family violence can negatively impact a child’s mental health. Socioeconomic status is also a strong predictor of psychological well-being.
Stress and Psychological Balance
-Stress Responses: The body reacts similarly to both physical and psychological challenges, triggering the release of hormones like cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.
-General Adaptation Syndrome: This involves the alarm reaction, stage of resistance, and stage of exhaustion in response to stressors. Reducing Stress Factors like hardiness, social support, optimism, and humor can reduce the stressful effects of life changes.
Nowadays, we all face the increasing pace of changes, the exponential growth of information or misinformation, and unprecedented complexity and uncertainty. Individually, there are both psychological curves and knowledge/skill/methodological curves for changes or developing professional competency. You are what you think and experience. It's always important to instill healthy psychology, focus on problem-solving, and innovation.
