The topic of self-renewal of the human body is very relevant today. There are many educational events that discuss various aspects of the self-renewal of the body, but the topic of self-renewal of the personality is no less important. It is very important for each person to take care of his body as a whole, that is, not only its physical, but also its spiritual component.
Nessia Ferdman, a practical psychologist, coach, business consulting expert, trainer, spoke about the most important aspects of personal self-renewal especially for estet-portal.com.
What is "self-refresh" from the point of view of psychology
Speaking of self-renewal from the point of view of psychology, we mean the integrity of the individual. That is, not only the topic of cell physiology, their renewal, and so on, but how much a person himself can internally work on self-renewing, and what this means from the point of view of psychology. There are four components here, and I think that any person knows each of them separately. The question is how much we really pay attention to it.
Now is a time when we know a lot and do very little. It seems to us that when we learned something – we seem to have already started doing it.
For example, we know how to eat right, but how exactly do we eat – that's another question. We know we have to go to the gym, and we even buy a membership and put it on the table as if we were already exercising. Information now – it is very easy and accessible, and we know a lot, we understand a lot, but we don’t realize, and if we don’t realize – so we don't do it.
What four components of personality self-renewal do you single out
First – it's about the physiology and the body. And here, sports and so on are not so important, but how much time you generally devote to keeping your body in good shape. When it comes to physical health – most people immediately think of physical activity in the gym.
But I'm talking about very simple everyday things: whether you take the stairs instead of taking the elevator, whether you can get off one stop early so you can walk to work, and so on. It is important to find time to maintain your physical health all the time! In addition, it is very important to maintain the body's water balance, breathe correctly, using the entire volume of the lungs, since all this – important conditions for a healthy physiology of the body.
The second component of self-renewal – it's about our emotions. The concept of emotional intelligence is very fashionable now. This is the ability to recognize and control one's own emotions, as well as the ability to recognize and enter into a channel of communication with the emotions of other people.
We often talk about our emotions "surging", as if emotions come from outside, and the person himself does not understand how and why they arise. I have a very simple principle: if a person was able to recognize his emotion and call it – he can control it. As soon as a person admits to himself that now he is, for example, aggressive – he can control it. But it is even more interesting to talk not about negative emotions, but about positive ones.
About how and where they come from, how to learn how to call them up and prolong them, how to wake up in a good mood and enjoy elementary things, such as delicious coffee or beautiful weather.
The third important component of self-renewal – it is intelligence, that is, intellectual and professional education, as well as horizons. Have you ever thought that the limits of our dreams are limited by our horizons? We cannot dream of what we have never seen or do not know. But when people find out what could be different – they have a desire to get it. Therefore, speaking of intelligence, I mean not only professional development, but general outlook. The wider it is – the wider the boundaries of our dreams.
And fourth component – these are our spiritual values. And I'm not even talking now about the religious component, or about how a person perceives the world. I'm talking about the fact that each person has his own values that determine his choice, give him motivation, from which he gets goals, and thanks to which he does something, takes on a challenge, develops, and so on. We are not taught how to define our values, we read a huge number of values, for example, from a family or books, but we never think about whether these are our values, or those that have been imposed on us.
These four components, in my opinion, are self-renewal. We can only deal with the physical, intellectual or spiritual component, but this will not be a full-fledged self-renewal. But these four components, in my opinion, give an understanding of what self-renewal of a holistic personality means. The most important – devote enough time and attention to this.
What a person should do for effective self-renewal of personality
The most important thing for an adult – is to realize that he needs it. An adult learns or does something only when he understands why he needs it and what he will get from it. If you answer the question for yourself why you need self-updating – you will understand how to do it. I know for sure that a person who has told himself that he needs it and it is important for him can do it.
The process of self-renewal is so important to us, because otherwise we won't start any mechanisms at all, and everything we do will fail somewhere. When there is some kind of hole, and water flows from there – we can pour water all the time, or we can find and fix this hole. It's the same with the issue of self-renewal. Therefore, it seems to me that the question of self-renewal of personality, first of all & nbsp; implies the realization that a person needs it.
I believe that an adult, conscious person who understands that he needs it, will find how to do it.
What happens if a person does not engage in self-renewal of personality
If a person does not engage in self-renewal of his personality – his system will fail. It can be repaired, but after a certain time the failure will happen again, and this will affect the quality of life. Many are familiar with the situation when everything seems to be fine in life, for example, standing with a loved one, sunset, wine, romance, but there is still some feeling of anxiety inside.
This means that one of the four components has a failure. A person, like a computer, after a certain period of time needs to carry out a “flashing”; to ensure that all systems run smoothly. That is why regular self-renewal is very important for all of us. Imagine a person sawing a log.
The main thing in this process – sharpened saw. And this person needs to prepare a certain amount of firewood, he tries very hard, saws with all his might, but his saw – dumb and therefore it doesn't get the desired result. And instead of just stopping and sharpening the saw, this man continues to saw even harder, because he is too absorbed in the process.
So here's the self-updating – it means to stop and sharpen the saw. And in the modern world, this means not even sharpening the saw, but understanding that it can be plugged into an outlet, since it is generally electric. After stopping and self-renewing, you realize that you have an electric saw in your hands. That your potential and strengths are very developed, and this awareness is comparable to an electric saw that has been plugged into an outlet. If all 4 components of self-renewal "turn on" and work on them – it turns out a completely different process of achieving goals.
Can a person himself realize that he needs to engage in self-renewal, or is outside help needed
I believe that in most cases a person can do it himself, only awareness is needed. I think the aspect of self-renewal leads us to realize our own potential. If a person admits that he did not come into this world just because he has & nbsp; a certain mission and task, no matter how pathetic it may sound, that he is different from many others, that he has a certain potential and healthy ambitions, that he wants and must help himself in this life and achieve something – such a person recognizes the picture of the world, necessarily thinks and brings into his life the aspect of self-renewal.
Conscious people always have a need for self-renewal. They want to develop intellectually, learn to manage their emotions, understand their values and maintain physical health – it is clear to them, and it cannot be otherwise.
And if you do not accept the picture of the world, and consider that a person came into this world without a special mission – what kind of self-renewal can we talk about. It's like when you open the refrigerator, take out a carton of milk, and see that it is almost full, but its expiration date has already expired. It's the same with a person: there is his potential and an expiration date, and either he is engaged in self-renewal, or the expiration date simply expires.
