Psychology is developing rapidly, and every year there is a lot of research of a new generation that opens up tremendous opportunities for changing life for the better. Therefore, today I want to briefly analyze the discoveries of recent years in psychology, showing new ways for the development of a person and contributing to his development on the professional path.
I remind you that unique studies from the previous generation were analyzed by me in the articles: 5 interesting psychological experiments and what they led to, The game of poker as a benefit for the brain.
I also recommend studying these articles to better understand psychology as a science and what it can give you.
Research on the principles of development of our brain
If we talk about research and experiments of recent years, it is important to note one detail. Now many studies are aimed at studying and researching human thinking as one of the dynamic and developing processes of the psyche, the changes of which lead to changes in life and in general. First of all, recent studies are related to the study of the principles of development of our brain, neuropsychology, which is the most popular direction in recent times. Therefore, many developments come from this sphere.
New ways for human development
Let us dwell in more detail on each of the discoveries:
- Scientists are finally convinced that the certainty and consistency of the event series of a person's life increase his motivation and energy level in the body. The more the unknown awaits, the higher the level of anxiety and the lower the level of responsibility a person has. Therefore, each person needs to have at least 5 spheres of their life in which a person can have an impact on their reality. That is, you must have things in your life, the result of which you influence, and you can also make plans for the future, see the distant future. This feeling gives a person stability and support, a sense of his influence on reality, which makes it easier to reach new professional heights.
- Now it is not fashionable to be constantly in positive thinking. Positive thinking has been recognized as one of the signs of avoiding reality, which distorts your reality and does not give the right to eco-friendly expression of emotions. The lack of expression of emotions negatively affects the physiology and health of a person; I think each of you has heard about how cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke and heart attack, have “rejuvenated” in the modern world. Correct expression of emotions gives you advantages in the development of your emotional intelligence and increases your chances of professional growth. Therefore, learn to properly express and live ANY of your emotions, even such as anger, anger and rage!
- The rapid pace of development of society reduces the intellectual development of a person. Fast food, information, receiving material benefits – all this is a race for the result, but not living your life path. People who constantly live in a tense, fast rhythm rather deplete all their mental resources.
- Procrastination is not always about avoiding reality. Sometimes this is a signal that it's time to give yourself a rest and turn on the energy-saving mode. Where you are constantly accompanied by tension and resistance, it is rather not your sphere of life, so psychologists recommend learning to switch to other affairs and spheres. Although previously it was believed that it was necessary to achieve the goals set always, now this is not the case. Scientists have recognized that each person's brain is unique and has its own nature, so if you constantly feel that you are busy with “not your” business, you make your brain age faster than usual.
- The rejection of paper media and the use of information only in electronic form impairs your mnestic abilities and intelligence. Therefore, if you want to have a good memory, attention and thinking, write important things by hand, this starts the work of your neural system.
- Lack of sensory sensations leads to increased fatigue, depression and anxiety. Many experts are sounding the alarm about the development of children, but there are also studies that speak of sensory deficiency in adults. Modern people do not walk much, are not interested in the knowledge of reality, do not catch colors well.
The lack of personal communication with other people and the replacement of all types of reality with virtual activity leads to a distortion of the real picture of the world and anhedonia (reduced pleasure). Therefore, for harmonious and productive development, it is important to include all types of sensory enrichment in your life: walking, playing sports, trying new activities, exploring the area in which you live or are located, noticing new details around you.
