Yes, everyone certainly has his best qualities, and by developing them, a person will develop as a whole, because they will become fertile ground for everyone else, including problem areas of the personality. But what else can psychology give to make this soil more fertile?
Here is how I will answer this question: your psychology initially comes with a "plus" sign, because it is evolutionarily very important that the personality of a person develops more and more with each generation. And in each of us there are basic things that, with knowledge and skill, can be made to work for themselves. Just by correctly recognizing them and turning them on in your psyche. I will tell you about 5 curious features of the human psyche that will help improve your game, increase concentration, increase energy and systematize your life, bringing it into a positive direction.
1. What is the psyche and how does it work?
From the point of view of psychology, the psyche is the individual ability of each person to perceive and reflect the surrounding reality actively and indirectly (that is, through its comprehension), and to regulate their behavior depending on the incoming information.
From the point of view of biology, the psyche is a function of the brain that appeared at a certain stage of its evolution. The psyche is not only in humans, but also in higher animals, for example, in cats and dogs. The work of the psyche of each person is individual, but there are processes common to all, on the basis of which you live this life.
These include: | |
|---|---|
Perception | Submission |
Submission | Caution |
Thinking | Feelings |
Feeling | Emotions |
Imagination | Affects |
Will | Speech |
All these processes help to build our lives, and poker players to shape their game, make it better, realize their mistakes and build a personal strategy based on experience.
2. 5 features of the psyche that allow you to improve the game
About everything in order. All these features are built on the basic properties of the psyche and each of them is based on the justification of the previous one and often works in a system of all these characteristics. Distortion of one of the features entails difficulties in general, since your psyche is built on the basis of consistency!
Integrity
Your psyche perceives everything holistically, that is, it sees the overall picture of what is happening. The brain is not sharpened to perceive details, since in a holistic picture it always tends to balance (this explains why some people live in not the best conditions or quickly adapt to not quite normal circumstances in life).
Thus, integrity allows you to look at what is happening in your game in general, but at the same time you can separately study some moments, and due to the desire for balance, your background of the game will become smoother over time.
The same applies to various life situations, for example, a quarrel with a loved one, when he immediately appears in a negative light, but it is worth a little work on the relationship, and everything is not so bad. The main rule of this feature is to regularly work on yourself and go beyond to see the whole picture even wider.
Selectivity
Your consciousness is always directed to specific and definite objects of the real world, those that are familiar to you. Selectivity is one of the properties of your attention, the process that is 100% involved in poker. Selectivity helps you concentrate on something, so your attention may not jump from one to another, but you can turn it on yourself, but you only need regular training in this process. All distracting stimuli are always based on breaking your selectivity of attention (for example, distracting maneuvers, noise, loudness or brightness of the picture). But your psyche also knows how not to jump from different situations, but to immerse itself in them as much as possible and in the event of a "threat" to react sharply and rebuild.
Vivid emotions
Your psyche always captures and remembers only the information that causes you to have vivid emotions (either boredom or delight). But here you need to understand that the material that causes boredom is more likely to be remembered involuntarily and you will not be able to remember it in case of any desired situation, it will pop up spontaneously. Therefore, it is always necessary to learn new material by consolidating it with emotions, finding something that will cause an effect in you, strong emotions.
Hazard protection
Everything that comes your way goes through an initial safety analysis. Your psyche always protects you from danger, which can sometimes prevent you. Psychological studies of the basic sense of security allow you not to lose your precious time constantly in every new and unfamiliar situation, and fundamentally allow you to trust the world and achieve greater results.
Time perspective assessment
Most people live with a temporal perspective of the past, so they cannot leave their comfort zone for a long time. The brain relies on the past, as it is more secure (remember the previous point). Immersion in your personal future is necessary for your psyche so that it understands that it can also safely and clearly see what exactly awaits you there.
3. Important
Based on all these features, you should understand the following for yourself: your psyche is designed to help you, not interfere.
Scolding yourself, limiting yourself in something, constantly controlling your reality here and now, you go on a more difficult path to achieve something. Poker is a zone where not everything is controlled and subject to you, because you all know what variance is, so when your psyche makes the most of all these features, it is always easier for it to move forward and set new tasks to solve them. And if you have difficulties with this in your personal psychology, I will help you solve them!
