Let's start with the concept of resilience.
Psychological stability is the process of maintaining the most optimal mode of work of the human psyche in conditions of constantly changing circumstances and their stressful effects. It is interesting that this property is formed in a person in the process of his development and is not genetically determined.
And the good news for us here is that we can develop this very stability in ourselves, even if now any little thing knocks us out of the "rut".
The concept of psychological resilience is often associated or even replaced with the concept of resilience. In fact, this is the same ability of a person to withstand stressful situations, while maintaining internal balance without reducing the success of the activity. (wiki)
S. Maddi identified three relatively autonomous components of resilience: involvement, control, risk taking. The severity of these components and resilience in general prevents the emergence of internal tension in stressful situations.
- Involvement ("commitment"), meaning the involvement of a person in the events of his life and his activities, getting pleasure from it.
- Control ("control") motivates the subject to search for ways and means of influencing and influencing the situation, with the aim of transforming it into less or not stressful, avoiding falling into a state of helplessness, belief in the presence of a causal relationship between his actions, actions, efforts and results, relationships, events, etc.
- Taking a risk ("challenge") allows a person to understand the inevitability of risk and remain open to the world around him, to accept the current event as a challenge and test, and makes it possible to gain new experience to learn certain lessons for himself.
This means that the development of vitality occurs at those moments when we begin to analyze situations that make us unstable and find there our mistakes of thinking that prevent us from seeing opportunities and accepting the inevitability of risks; we understand our motives and motives; and we can also determine what is in our control zone, direct our efforts towards realizing our capabilities and let go, accept what is beyond our control at the moment.
Try to remember a situation that made you unstable. Most likely, there you experienced strong negative emotions and, probably, your actions did not lead to the desired result, which could further add unpleasant emotions.
Now try to answer yourself a few questions:
- What risks do I need to take in this situation?
- What do I want in this situation?
- What can I really influence in this situation?
At trainings on psychological stability, participants often note that the very analysis of situations in detail already helps to feel much more stable. And at the moment when it is possible to analyze all 3 components (risk taking, control and involvement), the emotional background sometimes changes dramatically.
It is important to remember that like any skill, psychological stability is what appears as a result of constant training. In this case, it is important to train your brain to think in terms of stability and to live the emerging states consciously.
Be steady!
