Exploring Personal Structure: Assessing Planning, Organization, and Goal Orientation
Personal Structure assesses an individual’s capacity for organization, planning, and goal orientation. This dimension reflects the ability to create and maintain order in one’s life, set and pursue goals, and exhibit a structured approach to problem-solving. Individuals with high personal structure are likely to manage their time effectively, set realistic goals, and develop strategies to achieve them. This sense of order and purpose is crucial for resilience as it helps individuals stay focused and motivated even in the face of adversity. Research indicates that having a clear personal structure is associated with higher levels of psychological resilience and overall life satisfaction (Hjemdal et al., 2006).
Jumping to Conclusions: The Leap of Cognitive Misjudgment
Jumping to conclusions is a cognitive distortion where one quickly forms a judgment or decision without substantial evidence. In the landscape of cognitive distortions, “jumping to conclusions” is a prevalent pitfall many unknowingly succumb to. This cognitive bias pushes us to infer or deduce something without adequate evidence, often leading to misguided beliefs and unnecessary emotional distress. To navigate the complexities of our thoughts better, understanding this distortion and its implications is vital.
Untwist your Thinking
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy based on the idea that how we perceive and interpret situations has a significant impact on our reactions and emotions, even more so than the situation itself. When individuals are experiencing distress, their perceptions can often become distorted, which can make it difficult for them to cope with the situation at hand effectively. CBT helps individuals by identifying these distorted thoughts and evaluating how realistic they are.
The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.
The Science behind knowledge
Psychological theories and research interested in the study of how people learn and what keeps them motivated to achieve their goals can prove to be of immense beneficial support for anyone interested in bending their minds, perceptions and behaviour to serve them better. Applying psychological science to increase personal and organisational productivity is bound to guarantee overall success and maximise capacities.
The Key Principles of Rolland Viau’s Theory of Motivation
Inspired by the sociocognitive approaches to learning, Rolland Viau proposes an innovative motivation model in the context of acquiring information and completing goals.
Although the model has been initially designed for the learning student, its structures can be just as easily and successfully applied to any situation where an individual is faced with a challenge and a need to be completing a goal.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Applying Lev Vygotsky’s Theory of Social Development in Education
The work of Lev Vygotsky (1934) has become the foundation of much research and theory in cognitive development over the past several decades, particularly of what has become known as Social Development Theory.
Vygotsky’s theories stress the fundamental role of social interaction in the development of cognition (Vygotsky, 1978), as he believed strongly that community plays a central role in the process of “making meaning.”
Why the first 7 years Matter
Theories of development provide a framework for thinking about human growth and learning. But why do we study development? What can we learn from these psychological theories? If you have ever wondered about what motivates human thought and behaviour, understanding these theories can provide useful insight into individuals and society.
Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child’s soul.
Journey to the Deep Unconscious
Analytical psychology approaches psychotherapy and depth analysis in the tradition established by the Swiss psychiatrist, C. G. Jung. As originally defined, it is distinguished by a focus on the roll of symbolic and spiritual experiences in human life, and rests on Jung’s theory of archetypes and the existence of a deep psychic space or collective unconscious. Following Jung’s original work ongoing research in his tradition incorporated findings from other disciplines and schools of depth psychology, making analytical psychology a vibrant and growing field of inquiry and therapeutic innovation.
Exploring the Depth of Mandala Symbolism in Analytical Psychology
Mandala is a graphical representation of the center (the Self at Jung). It can appear in dreams and visions or it can be spontaneously created as a work of art. It is present in the cultural and religious representations.
Examples of mandala can be found in all the ancient cultures. We find it in Christianity under the form of frescos with animal images representing apostles and under the form of the zodiac. The astrologic zodiac and its versions are an excellent example of mandala. Also, in the Indian spiritual practices we find fascinating representative cases of mandala, with symbols of the local pantheon.
Through meditation and following a path of thought and action, Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, attained enlightenment, freeing himself from the cycle of death and rebirth. He taught this path to his followers who still practice these principles today.
People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.
