Psychological ecology
Psychological Ecology in New Psychology DREVO
In the New Psychology DREVO, a person is viewed as part of several interconnected systems.
- Of one's own organism.
- Families.
- Societies.
- Nature.→
- Digital environment.
- Cultures.
- Civilizations.
Psychological health depends not only on a person’s internal state, but also on the quality of the environment in which he lives.
Therefore, psychological ecology studies the conditions under which a person is able to maintain inner harmony, develop freely, and build healthy relationships with the outside world.
What is psychological ecology?
Psychological ecology is a system of principles and practices aimed at creating and maintaining an internal and external environment that promotes psychological health, free personal development, and harmonious relationships between people, society, and nature.
Just as natural ecology studies the living conditions of organisms, psychological ecology studies the conditions of development of the human personality.
Internal ecology
Internal psychological ecology begins with caring for the person himself.
It includes:
- health of the body;
- emotional balance;
- clarity of consciousness;
- development of will;→
- loyalty to one's values;
- inner honesty;
- the ability to love;
- the presence of meaning in life.
When a person's internal levels are aligned, it is easier for him to remain stable even in difficult circumstances.
Ecology of Relationships
- A person develops through interaction with other people.
- Therefore, psychological ecology includes the culture of communication.
- It is based on:
- respect;→
- trust;→
- honesty;
- mutual support;
- listening abilities;
- peaceful resolution of conflicts;
- responsibility for one's words and actions.
Every interaction either strengthens the psychological environment or destroys it.
Information ecology
Consciousness feeds on information.
Therefore, a person is responsible for what he allows into his thinking every day.
It is useful to choose:
- reliable knowledge;
- informative books;
- developmental communication;
- quality education;
- conscious use of digital technologies.
Information chaos is gradually becoming psychological chaos.
Ecology of space
- The environment influences a person’s internal state.
- Clean house.
- Cozy workplace.
- Wildlife.
- Beauty.→
- Order.
- World.
- Silence.
- All these factors help the psyche to recover.
By creating a harmonious space around oneself, a person simultaneously takes care of his inner world.
Ecology of nature
Man is a part of living nature.
Therefore, caring for the environment becomes part of psychological health.
- Walks.
- Forest.
- Water.
- Mountains.
- Now.
- Working with the land.
Observing nature helps people restore inner balance and a sense of connection with the world.
Ecology of Culture
- Culture shapes human thinking.
- Music.
- Literature.
- Art.
- Language.
- Traditions.
- Education.
- All this influences the development of personality.
A psychologically healthy culture supports respect for life, cooperation, creativity, and the search for truth.
Ecology of the Future
Every decision a person makes affects not only the present.
It becomes part of the future environment for the next generations.
Therefore, psychological ecology includes responsibility for the kind of world we create.
- For children.
- For society.
- For nature.
- For the future civilization.
The practice of psychological ecology
Every day a person can strengthen psychological ecology if:
- takes care of his health;
- consciously selects information;
- builds respectful relationships;
- limits the destructive impact of the digital environment;
- regularly interacts with nature;
- creates order and beauty around itself;
- helps other people;
- is engaged in creative activities.
Psychological ecology begins with small daily decisions.
The main principle
A person becomes similar to the environment in which he lives.
Therefore, caring for the inner world is impossible without caring for the outer world.
By changing oneself, a person changes the environment.
By changing the environment, he simultaneously changes himself.
Definition
Psychological ecology is the science and practice of creating conditions in which individuals, society, and the environment mutually contribute to psychological health, personal development, and a creative future.
In DREVO's New Psychology, psychological ecology is the unifying principle of the entire system. It connects physical health, purity of consciousness, mental maturity, willpower, the development of the soul and spirit, the quality of relationships, culture, nature, technology, and responsibility to future generations.
Just as a tree cannot thrive in poisoned soil, a person cannot maintain inner harmony in a destructive environment. By caring for ourselves, we care for the world. By caring for the world, we preserve ourselves.
Development of will
Development of Willpower in the New Psychology of DREVO
In the New Psychology of DREVO, willpower is viewed as a person's ability to consciously control themselves, their thoughts, emotions, desires, and actions for the sake of a chosen goal and their own values.
- Will is not given to a person once and for all.
- She is developing.
- Like muscles, willpower is strengthened through regular practice.
- Every conscious decision makes her stronger.
What strengthens the will?
Willpower develops when a person regularly does what he believes is right, even if it requires effort.
It is strengthened not by great feats, but by thousands of small daily decisions.
Every time a person:
- keeps the promise he made to himself;
- completes the work started;
- overcomes the short-term desire to refuse;
- chooses long-term benefit over instant gratification,
he strengthens his will.
Basic principles of willpower development
Mindfulness
- You can't manage yourself without understanding yourself.
- The first step is to notice your thoughts, emotions and desires.
- Awareness creates space for choice.
Small steps
Big changes start with small actions.
It's better to keep a small promise to yourself every day than to make a big effort rarely.
Consistency is stronger than jerks.
Discipline
Discipline is the habit of doing what is necessary regardless of your mood.
It frees a person from dependence on random emotions.
Discipline becomes an external form of manifestation of the inner will.
Responsibility
Willpower develops when a person stops looking for someone to blame and begins to take responsibility for his own decisions.
Responsibility turns desire into action.
Target
The will needs direction.
It is easier for a person to overcome difficulties when he understands why he is acting.
The clearer the goal, the more stable the will.
Meaning
The strongest source of will becomes meaning.
When a person understands why their actions are important, it is easier for them to remain persistent even in difficult circumstances.
Practices for developing willpower
- It is useful to do small exercises every day.
- To restrain an unnecessary desire.
- Finish what you started.
- Get up on time.
- Fulfil the promise.
- Bring a difficult conversation to an end.
- Don't put off important matters.
- Tell the truth when it's hard.
- Do something useful, even if no one sees it.
- Each such action strengthens the ability to manage oneself.
What weakens the will?
The will is gradually weakened:
- constant procrastination;
- life without goals;
- lack of routine;
- chronic fatigue;
- dependencies;
- the habit of looking for excuses;
- disclaimer.
Therefore, the development of willpower is impossible without caring for health and psychological well-being.
Will and freedom
Many people consider freedom to be the ability to do whatever they want.
In the New Psychology of DREVO, freedom is understood differently.
Truly free is the one who is able to choose not only what he wants, but also what is right.
- It is not a random desire that should control a person.
- A person must control his desires.
- It is the will that makes such freedom possible.
The highest form of will
The highest form of willpower is manifested when a person is able to remain true to his values regardless of the circumstances.
- When it's difficult.
- When you're scared.
- When no one supports.
- When the result is not yet visible.
- It is at such moments that a person becomes the master of his own life.
The main principle
Willpower is not developed through struggle with oneself.
It develops through conscious cooperation of body, psyche, consciousness, soul and spirit.
When a person knows,Whatto do, understands,For whatto do this, and every day he takes at least one step forward, his will becomes stronger.
Definition
Developing willpower is the process of developing a person's ability to consciously manage their thoughts, emotions, desires, and actions while remaining true to their values and long-term goals.
In the New Psychology of DREVO, willpower is viewed as the central mechanism of personal self-governance, connecting consciousness with action. It is willpower that transforms knowledge into action, intentions into habits, and dreams into real change.
Willpower is the art of choosing every day not the easiest thing, but what brings a person closer to the best version of himself.
Revealing the Soul
Revealing the Soul in New Psychology by DREVO
In the New Psychology of DREVO, the soul is viewed as the inner core of the personality, the source of its uniqueness, conscience, love, beauty, and the ability to experience the deep meaning of life.
Opening up your soul is not about acquiring something new.
This is a gradual manifestation of the best that is already inherent in a person.
Just as a seed gradually becomes a tree, the soul unfolds through life, experience, love, creativity and conscious choice.
