What is purpose?

In the New Psychology of DREVO, purpose is a natural direction of human development, in which one's abilities, values, and desire to contribute to life are most fully revealed.

Purpose is not one predetermined profession or one event that needs to be found.

This is the path on which a person most fully realizes his nature, serves people and reveals his inner potential.

Each person possesses a unique combination of abilities, character, life experiences, and values. It is the interaction of these that shapes their purpose.

Purpose is born in life

Purpose cannot be learned only from books or other people's advice.

It opens gradually:

  • through experience;
  • through labor;
  • through creativity;
  • through mistakes;
  • through overcoming difficulties;
  • through relationships with people;
  • through service to society.

Every decision made helps a person to better understand himself.

Signs of your path

A person approaches his destiny when:

  • his activities are consistent with his values;
  • abilities find practical application;
  • work benefits other people;
  • development becomes a natural need;
  • difficulties are perceived as part of growth, not as meaningless suffering;
  • a feeling of inner integrity appears.

Purpose does not exclude fatigue or doubts, but it helps to understand why a person continues on his path.

Purpose and Society

Purpose always goes beyond personal gain.

By developing one's abilities, a person simultaneously creates value for others.

  • The teacher imparts knowledge.
  • The doctor helps to maintain health.
  • An engineer creates new technologies.
  • A farmer grows food.
  • The artist reveals beauty to people.
  • A parent raises a new generation.
  • Every work becomes part of the overall development of society.

Purpose and responsibility

  • The right to follow one's destiny is inseparable from responsibility.
  • Freedom without responsibility turns into arbitrariness.
  • Responsibility without freedom becomes coercion.

True purpose combines freedom of choice with responsibility for the consequences of one's decisions.

Revealing Purpose

Purpose is revealed when a person:

  • strengthens your body;
  • develops the psyche and consciousness;
  • educates the will;
  • lives in accordance with his values;
  • builds healthy relationships;
  • cares about the environment;
  • constantly learning and developing;
  • transforms knowledge into creative actions.

In this integrity, inner potential becomes a real contribution to life.

The main principle

Purpose is not about finding your place in the world.

Purpose is constant participation in the development of the world, while revealing oneself.

  • The person doesn't just ask:
  • "What do I live for?"
  • He begins to respond with his life.

Definition

A person's purpose is a path of consciously revealing one's abilities, values, and will, aimed at creating, developing life, and benefiting other people.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, purpose is understood not as an end point, but as an ongoing process. As a person develops, their knowledge, capabilities, and forms of service to the world change, but the main goal remains constant—to leave behind more life, goodness, knowledge, and creativity than existed before their arrival.

Strengthening the spirit

What does it mean to strengthen the spirit?

In DREVO's New Psychology, spirit is an inner strength that helps a person remain true to their values, move toward their purpose, and not give up on their path in the face of difficulties.

  • If the soul answers the question:
  • "Who am I?"
  • then the spirit answers:
  • “What do I live for and what am I ready to bring to the world?”

Strengthening your spirit means developing the ability to live in accordance with your convictions, even when it requires courage, patience, and self-discipline.

What weakens the spirit?

The spirit weakens when a person:

  • lives contrary to his values;
  • constantly refuses to go back on his decisions;
  • shifts responsibility to others;
  • afraid of change;
  • loses the meaning of life;
  • stops developing;
  • allows fear to completely determine one's actions.

Weakening of the spirit is not manifested in a lack of strength, but in the loss of inner direction.

What strengthens the spirit?

The spirit is strengthened through real actions.

Every time a person consciously chooses creation over destruction, responsibility over indifference, honesty over lies, he strengthens his spirit.

The main practices are:

  • keeping one's word;
  • keeping promises;
  • acceptance of responsibility;
  • voluntary overcoming of difficulties;
  • continuous learning;
  • service to people;
  • caring for nature;
  • creative work;
  • protection of justice;
  • development of discipline;
  • cultivation of patience;
  • Gratitude.

The spirit grows not from words, but from actions.

Will and spirit

  • Willpower is the ability to control oneself and make conscious choices.
  • The Spirit determines the direction of this choice.
  • Will answers the question:
  • "Can I do this?"
  • The spirit answers:
  • "Why am I doing this?"
  • When willpower is combined with high values, inner stability appears.

Trials

Trials are not only a source of suffering, but also an opportunity for growth.

Difficulties allow a person to see:

  • how true he is to his principles;
  • is he able to maintain dignity;
  • is able to help others even in difficult conditions;
  • is able to continue on after failures.

The spirit is strengthened not by the absence of trials, but by how a person goes through them.

Signs of a strong spirit

A man with a strong spirit:

  • maintains dignity;
  • accepts responsibility;
  • knows how to admit mistakes;
  • does not lose humanity in conflict;
  • capable of long-term work;
  • keeps hope alive in difficult times;
  • inspires by example, not just by words;
  • strives to create more than to destroy.

The main principle

A strong spirit is not a desire to dominate others.

This is the ability to manage oneself.

The more a person is able to control his own thoughts, emotions, actions and desires, the freer he becomes.

Freedom does not begin when external restrictions disappear.

Freedom begins when a person becomes his own master.

Strengthening the spirit is a continuous process of cultivating inner freedom, responsibility, and the ability to consciously choose the path of creation, regardless of external circumstances.

Causes of psychological problems

The basic principle

In the New Psychology DREVO, a psychological problem is not considered as a separate illness of the personality, but asviolation of harmony between human levels.

A person is a single system.

When one or more of its levels lose coherence, internal conflicts, emotional tension, behavioral disturbances and deterioration in quality of life arise.

A psychological problem is not a person’s enemy.

This is a signal that a certain part of the system needs attention, restoration or development.

The main causes of psychological problems

1. Disconnection from the body

  • Lack of sleep.
  • Chronic fatigue.
  • Malnutrition.
  • Lack of movement.
  • Chronic pain.
  • Hormonal and other diseases.

When the body is exhausted, the psyche and consciousness also lose stability.

2. Disruption of the subconscious

  • Automatic reactions formed by traumatic experiences.
  • Destructive habits.
  • Chronic fear.
  • Unprocessed emotional experiences.

The subconscious continues to protect a person even when previous methods of protection no longer help.

3. Mental conflict

A person wants opposite things at the same time.

For example:

  • freedom and complete security;
  • closeness and complete independence;
  • change and maintaining the familiar.

Unresolved internal contradictions create long-term tension.

4. Loss of awareness

When a person stops noticing his own thoughts, feelings and actions, he begins to live automatically.

Automatism gradually deprives a person of freedom of choice.

5. Weakening of the will

The person knows what needs to be done, but is unable to implement his decision.

A feeling of powerlessness gradually arises.

6. Loss of meaning

When a person ceases to understand why he lives and develops, even familiar things can lose their inner value.

This may be accompanied by feelings of emptiness, apathy and loss of motivation.

7. Conflict of values

Suffering occurs when a person is forced to live contrary to his own beliefs or constantly acts against his conscience.

The deeper this conflict, the greater the internal tension.

8. Disruption of social connections

  • Loneliness.
  • Distrust.
  • Destructive relationships.
  • Lack of support.
  • Insulation.
  • A person develops through relationships.

Therefore, the destruction of social connections weakens psychological resilience.

9. Unfavorable environment

  • Constant noise.
  • Information overload.
  • Aggressive social environment.
  • Lack of contact with nature.
  • Environmental issues.
  • The environment gradually becomes part of a person’s inner world.

10. Violation of psychological ecology

Every day a person takes in a huge amount of information.

If a large part of it consists of fear, aggression, lies, humiliation, manipulation and constant stress, internal balance is gradually disturbed.

The psyche needs not only protection from physical threats, but also a healthy information environment.

Compensation principle

When one level of a person weakens, other levels often try to compensate for its work.

  • For example:
  • the body can signal with pain;
  • emotions - anxiety;
  • behavior - addiction;
  • relationships - conflicts.

Therefore, symptoms should be viewed not only as a problem, but also as a possible indication of a deeper imbalance.

The main principle

In the New Psychology DREVO, the psychologist’s task is not only to reduce symptoms.

The main task is to understand,at what level is harmony violated?, what factors support this condition and how can human integrity be restored.

Mental health does not return when a single symptom disappears.

It returns when the body, psyche, consciousness, will, values, relationships and environment begin to work as a single system again.

Any psychological problem is not a death sentence for the individual, but an invitation to restore internal balance and further development.
