Psychological balance
Psychological balance refers to a natural tendency, and yet a difficult task, to adapt to change successfully by being able to continue to function effectively.
The theory of psychological balance suggests that a set of values, which people in different cultures recognize as ideals, influence how we think and behave. These universal values provide us with a sense of identity and connect us to the world. Each one of us combines these ideals in a unique way as we give values different priorities. Our individual value pattern defines our psychological world: what matters to us most and what is meaningful in life. Accordingly, we set our goals that aim to manifest our psychological world and realize our dreams and aspirations. However, as change is unavoidable, we all face challenges at one point or another where external circumstances may stand in the way of pursuing our goals. It is critical for our well-being to be able to re-adjust our value priorities in a way that allows us to pay attention and focus on what is needed. Another important part of the theory suggests that after stripping down all the layers that make up our reality what is left is they and I. The Greek saying, "even heaven is not fun if you go alone" encapsulates the principle that the two perceptions of self and others form the fundamental basis of our existence in this world.
Psychology is a serious academic and clinical discipline. It is also a term that has become part of the contemporary thought and conversation of our culture. As such, the idea of psychological balance is confusing and often meaningless to people. The effort to understand and create a psychological balance is ongoing throughout a lifetime and through the changes that come with the arrival at and the passage through different life stages. This process is an individual one. Each person must create a process that fits their unique background personality characteristics and the particular time in their life.
