Interaction with nature

Interaction with nature

Interacting with Nature in the New Psychology of DREVO

In the New Psychology of DREVO, nature is viewed not as an external environment existing separately from man, but as the natural basis of his life and development.

Man is a part of nature.

His body consists of the same chemical elements as the surrounding world.

It depends on air, water, food, sunlight, soil, plants and many living organisms.

Therefore, psychological health cannot be completely separated from the state of the natural environment.

Man as a part of a living system

Man is not above nature.

He is one of its elements.

Just as a tree cannot be separated from soil, water and sunlight, humans cannot exist without natural ecosystems.

Every breath we take, every sip of water we take, and every meal we eat reminds us of our connection to the world around us.

Nature and development of man

Throughout human history, the natural environment has shaped human development.

• Change of day and night.
• Seasons of the year.
• Climate.
• Flora and fauna.
• Landscape.

These factors have influenced and continue to influence people's lifestyle, health and psychological state.

Modern research shows that regular contact with nature is associated with reduced stress levels, improved mood, and increased subjective well-being in many people, although the extent of these effects may vary.

Nature as a source of restoration

• Nature creates conditions for human recovery.
• Silence.
• Fresh air.
• Natural lighting.
• Movement.
• A variety of natural sounds.
• Contemplation of living forms.

For many people, such conditions help reduce mental stress, restore attention and emotional balance.

Therefore, interaction with nature is seen as an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

Nature and Consciousness

• Nature reminds people of the laws of life's development.
• The tree is in no hurry to grow.
• The river does not fight with every stone.
• The forest exists thanks to the interaction of many organisms.

Observing nature helps a person develop patience, attention, the ability to see connections and think long-term.

These conclusions are a philosophical understanding of natural processes within the framework of the DREVO model.

Human responsibility

• Man is capable of changing the environment.
• Every decision he makes affects nature.
• Use of resources.
• Production.
• Construction.
• Agriculture.
• Technologies.→

All these actions can both preserve natural systems and disrupt their stability.

Therefore, a person’s responsibility extends not only to his own life, but also to the environment he leaves for future generations.

Environmental awareness

Ecological awareness begins with understanding interconnectedness.

People care about nature not only because it is useful.

He does this because he recognizes himself as part of a single system of life.

Caring for water, soil, forests, animals and climate becomes an extension of caring for people themselves.

Nature and Creation

The highest form of human interaction with nature is not consumption, but creation.

This can manifest itself through:

• forest restoration;
• biodiversity conservation;
• sustainable agriculture;
• development of environmental technologies;
• rational use of natural resources;
• creating cities that blend harmoniously with the natural environment.

Man becomes not only a user of nature, but also its responsible custodian.

The main principle

• Nature is not an external object.
• She is a part of a person.
• And man is a part of nature.

By destroying nature, man gradually weakens the conditions of his own life.

By preserving and restoring it, he simultaneously strengthens the health of present and future generations.

Definition

Interaction with nature is a continuous process of mutual influence between humans and the natural environment, in which humans receive conditions for life and development, and through their decisions and actions change the world around them.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, interaction with nature is considered one of the fundamental levels of personal development. Human harmony is impossible without harmony with nature, as life's development always occurs through connection, cooperation, and responsibility.

Just as a tree cannot live without a forest, water, soil and sun, a person cannot fully develop without living nature, of which he is a part.
