Why do you need an Adaptable Sustainable Psychology?
Every day. Every moment of our lives our brains are being fed information. From conception onwards our brains are wired with ideals, beliefs, definitions and dreams. We are influenced by our families, cultures, events and societies.
But what if those influences are not always in our best interests? What if they do not authentically align to who we are or would really like to be? What damage is being done hour by hour, even second by second from the constant stream of sensory input that our brains are trying to manage and filter?
You know you don’t want to feel depressed, but you do. You know you don’t need to feel anxious, but you do. What we often do not realise is that the reason we are stressed and think we are not coping well and have all these overwhelming feelings, is not actually the reason.
The reasons we are not coping can be linked to the insidious influences that infiltrate our self-perception and our ways of coping from the moment we are born. Whether it comes from our genetics, our parents, our society and culture or life experiences, our way of seeing ourselves and managing life is built often through the lens of other people's perceptions or their actions.
The intersection of influences that we are exposed to shape our self-identity and our expectations. They can lead us into anxieties, being stressed and feeling depressed or a host other uncomfortable emotions. Whether, for example, it is from the subtexts of advertising that tell us we are not good enough without that product or we can't be successful unless we own such and such. Or from the feeling of not being accepted as we weren’t popular in school. Or worse, unlovable after having had parents that were neglectful or abusive. To the damage of trauma that makes us feel unsafe and responsible for everything. To something as simple as just not looking like that amazing person on Instagram who always seems so together and happy with the perfect life.
There is a myriad of situations in life where you are being told how to feel. What to believe about yourself. What to value. Yet none these external factors have anything to do with who you really are and yet, still somehow, they can underpin how you cope with everything else that goes on in life, from the small stuff to the big stuff.
The subtle injury of influence is an inevitable outcome when living with large populations and under a political and social system that is fear based. We cannot change this right now, but we can prepare for it and manage the negative impacts of control and manipulation to preserve our mental wellbeing more effectively. We can do this by having a more Adaptable Sustainable Psychology that underpins and guides us into being well.
Having an Adaptable Sustainable Psychology is a proactive approach to life management. It is about helping you deconstruct the adverse influences so that you can reconstruct yourself where necessary. By exploring yourself from the inside out you can find who you are beyond all the subtle influences. Then using this “you” knowledge you can support yourself in changing or overriding any of the negative influences you may have been injured by without knowing it. Find ways to help yourself that do not cause problems for you later down the track and develop the means to remain in the most content version of yourself possible.
Adaptable Sustainable Psychology will help you stay healthy and content and give you the information and tools you require to be able to adapt when you are using unsustainable practices that adversely affect your finite resources.
