Question: Example of experiencing psychology in your life??
Response: An example of psychology that I have seen included my family but was
mostly focused on one person. The past three months have been a time of
trial and growth within my family. A family my parents were counseling
had decided that they could no longer host the child that they had
adopted. They had him spend the night at our house so they could
consider their decision without his presence at the house or something.
After that night he never went back. We have been working on adoption
processes after a lot of prayer and contemplation. With this new six
year old boy at our house we have been filled with so much joy and
laughter. He has made so much progress since he came to us. I think the
way we treat him compared to his last family has made the difference. He
no longer has "panic attacks" like he used to and does not have as
difficult a time obeying, eating, behaving or interacting with people.
He is still very shy but has grown so much. I think my parents training
in psychology and counseling subconsciously effected their relationship
with him.
I don't know if that was an adequate answer due to the
fact that it was not really about me so I will also talk about a
psychological effect that I am familiar with. A very large portion of
martial arts is mental. Personally I struggle with being intimidated by
larger opponents so I do a lot of revising my mindset. In martial arts
we always have to look at the glass half full in order to keep
motivated. Always think "only a minute left" instead of "a whole minute
left?" and so on. I realize that when I go to practice with a "ready to
fight" attitude instead of a "I hope I do not get beat up.... again"
attitude then I really do much better. I actually have my first jiu
jitsu tournament tomorrow so I could very easily get worried and panic
but I will be keeping my mindset on what I have learned and what I need
to do.
