Emotional balance is the key to a productive and conscious life. How to effectively cope with life's challenges and maintain inner harmony. How to regulate your emotions without losing your temper and achieve your goals despite external circumstances. Understanding and accepting this principle will be your first step to a life where your decisions are more important than any obstacles.
The essence of psychological balance
The state in which a person is maximally effective is known as psychological balance or neutrality. Only in a neutral state is the brain able to solve complex tasks with maximum efficiency, that is, to use all possible resources. Only in this state reflexes work at full capacity - as it is laid by nature.
Psychological balance is the key to productive thinking and adequate response to challenges.
Challenges of the surrounding world
The world around us is designed to periodically disturb this balance. Figuratively speaking, in this way he gives us a task, offering to develop. If you succeeded, you move up a step higher, if you failed, you stay in place. However, it will not work to "stay put" forever, it is impossible to give an order "not to give tasks".
You can only get closer to this state by becoming a person without goals and interests. But still, one way or another, more often or less often, you will encounter situations that throw you off balance.
The influence of emotions on balance
Imagine: you are very upset or angry about something. In such a state, it is not easy to cross a busy highway and not get under the wheels of cars, as well as to calculate the expenses for the last week or make a detailed plan for tomorrow. Does it work in reverse? Certainly. Being overly happy, you also get out of balance and cannot focus on solving current tasks. I do not urge you to never be happy and even more so not to pay attention to everyone and everything. Equilibrium involves two components: not to be upset and not to be angry, if your negative emotional situation does not affect the events that happened; rejoice in those moments when there are no possible threats and you can relax.
Psychophysical activity and capabilities
Thus, psychophysical activity and capabilities are directly related to brain activity. Your psychological balance, like your imbalance, is in your head, and you are the only master of your thoughts. Accepting this postulate is the first step to self-awareness and the beginning of a life in which your decisions prevail over circumstances.
At the first stage, we will not try to change these circumstances, we will try to adjust our attitude towards them. Only by realizing why certain events occur and learning to accept them, being in balance, can you start a fruitful movement forward.
