10 Proven Ways On How To Have An Effective Living
#Lifestyle
Truly, mature adult or the well-adjusted
person fails as often and perhaps more often than the maladjusted, since he
attempts more. He is far more interested in correcting the failure and learning
from it, than he is in attributing blame for it.
Therefore, he accepts the fact of failure,
reappraises his goals and methods, and then either renounces, postpones, or
substitutes satisfaction or reviews his attack on the source of his problem. Through
all of this, he remains perfectly aware of “what’s going on”. He doesn’t try
to fool himself.
Why should anybody feel it necessary to fool
himself or other? Why do some people feel dreadfully ashamed of failure, when
other people, while regretting it, chalk it up to experience and forget about
it? Why do some people go to great lengths to conceal their fear, when others,
even in crises, may not feel it at all, but do their best and take what comes
“like men”.

The answer lies in the difference between the
emotional attitudes of a well-adjusted
and maladjusted people towards their
environments and towards themselves. The former feels secure and confident. He
trusts his environment, and he esteems himself.
To the latter, the environment seems hostile,
and his self seems inadequate. No matter how comfortable and talented he really
is, he feels insecure and inferior.
How can a person who is not sure of himself
improve the quality of his adjustment? Regardless of what Psychiatrists base
their personal methods of therapy, they agree on the following general rules of
effective living:
1.
Maintain
good physical health
Since adjustment involves the entire person,
a person who seeks to improve his own adjustment should visit Physician. Notably,
poor physical health will lower one’s zest for living.
2.
Do satisfy
work
One of the greatest forces for balanced
personality is the sense of satisfaction and completeness that comes from the
successful conclusion of important work. Try to plan, undertake, and complete
tasks that are socially useful and personally.
3.
Rest and
recreation
Rest and recreation are valuable for several
reasons. They increase physical well-being. They give undesirable emotions and
ideas time to die out. If the work is temporarily difficult, recreation
supplies satisfaction to balance the frustrations met in the work.
4.
Participate
in society
Society activity is a necessary as individual
activity. People in a group forget their immediate difficulties, finding
satisfaction in mutual achievements. Anxiety is hard to maintain among people
one like and is liked by.
5.
Have a
confidential relationship with another person
One of
the best ways to reduce tension is to talk about one’s difficulties to an
equal. When a person communicates the nature of a problem to another mind, he
is forces to consider it more objectively.
The role of confidential listener is not
limited to Physicians, Psychiatrists, and Psychologists. Parents, wives and
husband, Clergymen, teachers, and friends can prove themselves to be discreet
and sympathetic confidantes.
6. Plan and do something about every problem
Learning, vigorous and responses increase the
odds of finding solutions to problems. Of course, mere random activity is not
enough. One must use one’s objectivity and insight.
7. Be objective
The objective person opens his eyes to the
facts, instead of being blinded to them by desire. He is therefore, able to
manipulate the forces of his environment to gain a balance satisfaction of his
motives.
By paying attention to other people’s motives
and feeling, he can compromise more easily on trivial issues to earn
co-operation of important matters.
8. Seek insight
Well-adjusted people try to be objective
towards their own personalities are well as toward their environment. Normal
people are able to evaluate their personal share of gifts rather accurately.
Of the wide range of possible careers and
purpose presented by the world, they choose goals that seem achievable by their
particular talents. They do not set standards so high that failure is likely,
nor so low that life presents no challenge. Such people are realistic. They do
not try to cover up their shortcomings and failures.
9.
Don’t take
yourself too serious
The well- adjusted person can laugh at
himself. He sees the ridiculous in his own conduct. In fact, the more mature a
person is, the less he laughs at others – not only to spare their feelings, but
because he knows he is now wiser
10. Live in the present
It is essential for good adjustment to live
with each situation as it arises, and to attack it at once with all of one’s
resources. Anxiety about the future and regret about the past do nothing to
help one solve current problems.
In fact, they hinder adjustment, as we know,
the past is to be learned from, and the future is to be planned for, but only
in relation to one’s present difficulties.
Sometimes, of course, one’s difficulties are
so great, or are caused by illness so hampering, that one must have
professional help in overcoming them.
