5 steps to a harmonious personality

Many people would like to say to themselves that they are a harmonious person, but not everyone is able to do this. It is often believed that living in harmony with oneself and the world is an unattainable dream that takes many years to achieve. Indeed, this path takes different amounts of time for everyone, but anyone can make their dream come true.

To get closer to harmony in your own life, you need to realize what is stopping you now and what you want in the end. In our article we will tell you how to become a harmonious person, what problems need to be solved and what steps will bring you closer to this goal.

Definition of the concept

A harmonious personality is a person who has optimally integrated dynamic internal structures, consistency with the outside world, and normal functioning of life. A personality that is harmoniously developed is an individual who has uniform development in all areas of his activity, who has no internal conflicts, and internal harmony is evident. Such an individual has achievements in various directions, but he has special skills or abilities that stand out from the rest.

A person who has a balance between the inner and outer world is called harmonious.

Inner harmony means awareness of one’s own “I”. A person has no internal contradictions, he has realized his strengths and weaknesses, and accepted himself as he is.
External harmony is spoken of when a person does not have any problems with the outside world. The individual has good relationships with relatives, colleagues, friends and even unfamiliar individuals.

A harmoniously developed person pleases those around him with his ability to get along, his ability to adapt to changing conditions, and his mental health.

Raising a harmonious personality is directly related to the development of life values and motives. For a person to achieve harmony, he must have a balance between the following personal formations:

motives;
needs;
self-esteem;
value orientations;
image of "I".

Harmonious and versatile development of personality is the formation of abilities, various interests corresponding to different spheres of a person’s life, the predominance of the most significant personal spheres.

Harmonious character and personality

Harmonious character traits are a set of individual psychological behavioral stereotypes that contribute to the harmonization of everyday interpersonal relationships and the avoidance of interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts.

Behavioral norm, deviations, disorders and addictions

Thus, the basis for assessing the harmoniousness or inharmonicity of characterological characteristics is the parameter of a person’s lack of conflicts, both external (i.e. with participants in communication) and internal. Conventionally, we can say that significant for assessing characterological harmony

is the sphere of everyday relationships, including purely psychological ones, while
personal harmony is determined

Harmonious character is conventionally a block of two groups of psychological parameters: 1) adaptability; 2) self-actualization.

The main parameter of a harmonious character is adaptability, characterized by the success of a person’s adaptation to various situations, their change, as well as emotional (internal or external) acceptance of the environment. Adaptability reflects the importance of a person’s satisfaction of social needs, which is precisely about. It can be argued that in order to achieve internal and external harmony, a person must be adaptive. However, we must remember that the ability to always adapt to new conditions and at any level can result in disharmony of character in the form of conformism. Consequently, in order to talk about the harmony of the adaptability parameter, it is necessary to clarify its own properties. They comprise three groups, including: 1) realism in the perception of the surrounding reality (perceptual component), 2) a person’s desire to adapt to the environment (motivational component); 3) the ability to adapt - accept others as they are (regulatory component).

A classic example of a harmonious character trait that reflects the adaptability parameter is friendliness, which includes a combination of cordiality, affection, courtesy, and courtesy. Affability is a person's way of demonstrating acceptance of a person, reflected in manners and habits. External manifestations of friendliness are aimed at avoiding potential or eliminating existing real conflict relationships between people. Internally, a person may not feel sympathy for a participant in communication, but not demonstrate antipathy. Friendliness is a form of politeness, good and harmonious manners that improve the communication process, rather than aggravate it. However, friendliness is considered a harmonious character trait only in cases when it is used appropriately. In order to evaluate it as harmonious, you need to analyze the situation in which it manifests itself. It is important that the habitual reaction (for example, friendliness) corresponds to the stimulus or event. If the interlocutor behaves impudently, insults the person or even threatens him, then friendliness cannot be called a harmonious response to rudeness. The perceptual component is significant, allowing one to realistically assess in what cases and under what circumstances a given character trait should be used. Realism, as a rule, is based on the phenomenon of “common sense”.

Common sense is understood as a cognitive process, which is based on adequate (true) perception and understanding of the meaning of the actions of others. In order to talk about the harmony of a person’s character, it is necessary to evaluate his health.

imagination.

He must be a realist, that is, a person who is guided in his assessment of what is happening by essential, real parameters, who clearly and soberly understands the essence and motives of the behavior of others.
Sanity is opposed within the framework of character disharmony by the phenomenon of causal attribution,
which manifests itself in a biased and inappropriate understanding and explanation of the motives of the actions of others.

The second component of the adaptability parameter—motivational—reflects a person’s desire to adapt to others and to have harmonious (conflict-free or effective) relationships with them. The value side of life plays an important role in motivating the process of adaptation to others. A person ranks life events by value and significance in order to decide which ones he should adapt to, and which ones he can ignore or which he wants to confront. The manifestation of stubbornness as a character trait depends on the significance of the situation in which stubbornness is demonstrated. The child will not be stubborn if he is offered to eat ice cream, but he may stubbornly resist the parents' attempts to force him to wear this or that clothing that he does not like. A person can be friendly with people whom he sympathizes with or on whom the solution to some of his requests depends, and unfriendly and even pointedly rude towards people whom he does not need at all.

The regulatory component of adaptability reflects the skills and abilities to demonstrate certain character qualities necessary for communication and to compensate (hide or suppress) non-adaptive ones. A stingy person may try to suppress his unprestigious trait, while a cowardly person may try to demonstrate courage. Long-term regulation of maladaptive character traits can lead to their full compensation, and sometimes to a grotesque manifestation of opposite qualities (overcompensation).

Parameters that reflect harmonious character traits include self-actualization,

which, like adaptability, includes three components: perceptual, motivational and regulatory. These components partially coincide with the characteristics given above, and are partially supplemented by other qualities.

We can talk about the harmony of friendliness as a property that reflects both adaptability and self-actualization only if a person does not experience negative feelings in connection with the external manifestation of friendliness. If at the level of adaptability acceptance of others and the world is considered harmonious, then at the level of self-actualization it is acceptance of oneself. Self-acceptance reflects realism in assessing one’s qualities, abilities and capabilities, understanding and acceptance of developed values and urgent needs, living in harmony with oneself, eliminating psychological complexes or reconciliation with them.

Self-acceptance begins with real self-esteem

and building
self-esteem.
An important characteristic of harmonious self-esteem is its flexibility.
It is also considered essential for assessing a disharmonious character to identify the rigidity of self-esteem in the direction of either overestimation or underestimation. Within the framework of the harmony of characterological traits, a person is not inclined to unambiguously assess his abilities, capabilities and qualities. Typical is the ease of change in assessment after actions in which the idea of oneself did not coincide with the actually revealed traits. Along with self-esteem and its derivative, a significant harmonious property is the reality and flexibility of the level of aspirations.
The level of aspirations, i.e. a set of expectations, goals and claims regarding one’s future achievements, is born from two opposing tendencies (Bratus, 1988): the tendency to maintain one’s “I”, one’s self-esteem as high as possible

Behavioral norm, deviations, disorders and addictions

level and tendency to moderate one’s aspirations and avoid failure in order not to damage self-esteem. Self-esteem within the framework of character harmony follows the same patterns as self-esteem and the level of aspirations.

Other important qualities of self-actualization, according to A. Maslow (1960), are spontaneity, simplicity, autonomy and problem-centeredness.

Their essence lies in the naturalness of manifestations of all character traits, the reluctance to present oneself in a much better light than in reality, in situations that do not require manipulative behavior. Particularly noteworthy is the quality of autonomy, i.e. independence in making decisions and assessing situations from the opinions of the environment, one’s own expectations (expectations), desires and needs. With a harmonious character, there is an adequate distribution of the locus of control over situations (from internal to external). The essence of adequate distribution lies in the well-known rule of a harmonious person: he must have the ability to change situations that can be changed, accept situations that cannot be changed as they are, and learn to distinguish between them.

The listed qualities underlie one of the most essential parameters of a harmonious character - maturity. Maturity

(in a psychological sense) is the ability to adapt to the environment according to the laws of everyday reason (Zeigarnik. 1986).
It involves a combination of fairly high ideal aspirations with a willingness to perform modest, mundane tasks for the sake of these high aspirations. Maturity includes a person’s psychological ability to “distinguish between” ideal and real goals. infantilism
(immaturity, childishness) is characteristic of a disharmonious character Infantile properties include naivety, lack of independence, lack of common sense, etc.

The representation of various parameters within the framework of harmonious and disharmonious characters is demonstrated in Table. 2.

Harmonious character and personality

The manifestations of character traits are very diverse. Unlike the properties of temperament, they do not have an amotivational meaning, but are always motivationally mediated, i.e., the consolidation in the process of socialization of characterological habits, manners, styles of thinking and behavior is associated with the requirements of the surrounding society (micro- and macrosociety), as well as with goals , motives and human needs.

Characterological properties can be divided into two groups: basic (terminal) and instrumental. The former should help satisfy the essential needs of a person (create, first of all, internal harmony), the latter should satisfy the needs of society (create external harmony). N. Pe-zeshkian (1988) called them actual primary and secondary abilities. The differential analytical concept of N. Pezeshkian allows us to evaluate both the norm and anomalies of character, as well as determine the causes of obvious and hidden interpersonal conflicts.

Phenomenologically, character traits are represented by a wide range of traits formed in the process of education. Here are just a few of them: punctuality, cleanliness, organization, obedience, politeness, gullibility, self-confidence, diligence, frugality, reliability, accuracy, patience, directness. Each of them is capable of acting in an alternative form and reflecting an anomaly in character development.

In the structure of individuality, personality occupies the highest level of the hierarchical ladder. Personal qualities are formed on the basis of lower levels, but are not determined solely by their types and properties. Unlike types of temperament and character traits, which are stable and practically unchanged parameters of mental individuality, personality traits can change throughout life and tend to be multidirectional, depending on external and internal aspirations. At the level of personal properties and qualities, as well as at the level of temperamental and characterological characteristics, harmony and harmony are possible. Often deviant forms of behavior are associated with a personality anomaly.

Personality is a relatively stable system of socially significant traits that characterizes an individual as a member of a particular society or community. In other words, society is essential for the formation and manifestation of personal qualities. If temperamental properties or character traits can manifest themselves regardless of the social environment (for example, the emotionality, cleanliness and neatness of a hermit who has not seen people for many years), then personality traits cannot be manifested outside of communication and interaction with people or other living beings.

Personal qualities are often confused with individual psychological ones and the words “personality” and “individuality” are used as synonyms. this regard L.M. Batkin (1987) wrote that in different eras in different countries different terms were used to denote these concepts. Thus, the Greeks, referring to an individual with socially significant traits, spoke of a “good husband”, “hero”, “sage”. The Romans used the term “citizen,” the Hindus used “atman,” and the 18th-century English used “gentleman.”

The main differences between personal qualities and character traits are: the degree of volitional regulation of behavior, the use of moral foundations, ideological attitudes, inclinations and social interests when choosing a system of actions.

If an action or system of actions, as a reflection of character traits, is committed due to traditions and habits developed and acquired by the individual, and are automated to a certain extent, then within the framework of personal qualities they are mediated

Behavioral norm, deviations, disorders and addictions

influenced by motives, interests, inclinations, needs and regulated through acts of will.

Yu. M. Orlov (1991), depending on the origins of behavior, proposed dividing people into two categories: “people of habit” and “people of will.” The first in its activities is based on characterological characteristics, the second - on personal ones. Character types differ only in the focus and scope of application of “habits”. A person may be punctual, clean, neat, or diligent by habit. If character traits are formed, then an individual’s actions do not require him to make any effort to carry them out. However, in life, a habit may run counter to the requirements of circumstances, and then there is a need to make a volitional effort to perform an action that is of little interest or seems irrelevant. Volitional regulation of activity is based on social needs that develop during the period of human maturity. These are the needs to belong to a social group, to occupy a certain position in it, to enjoy the attention and affection of others, to be an object of respect and love.

Social needs “for oneself” are also important (Simonov, 1986) -
the needs for self-esteem and self-actualization.
To satisfy social needs, a person, in the process of education and self-education, strives to acquire socially encouraged moral qualities and to form a worldview that is socially approved and shared by the reference group or collective. And also to develop qualities on the basis of which he could accept and respect himself. Personal qualities include kindness or anger (for example, kindness, integrity or dishonesty, altruism or selfishness, philanthropy or misanthropy), love or hatred (pity or callousness, partiality or indifference), loyalty or infidelity, courage or cowardice, optimism or pessimism, modesty, conscientiousness or lack of conscience, greed or generosity, deceit or honesty, justice and love of truth, etc.

Becoming a person means, firstly, taking a position in life, which primarily determines moral priorities; secondly, to be sufficiently aware of it and bear responsibility for it; thirdly, affirm it with your actions and deeds (Bratus, 1988). Taking a life position and developing significant personal qualities to support it is determined by personal meaning,

personal meaning, which should answer the question why this or that action is performed or should be performed. Personal meaning expresses the subject’s attitude to the phenomena of objective reality; it is created as a result of the subject’s reflection of the relationships that exist between him and what his actions are aimed at as their immediate result (goal). That is, personal meaning is generated by the relationship of motive to goal.

One of the important characteristics of a personality is value orientation.

or
personal values.
Personal values are understood as the general meanings of his life realized and accepted by a person.
An individual, in the process of developing personal qualities, masters the philosophy of life, ranks values depending on moral aspirations, and resolves the most difficult question about the meaning of life.
B. S. Bratus (1988) proposed using a level characteristic of semantic spheres when assessing personal qualities. He identified four levels: pragmatic, egocentric, groupcentric, prosocial.

The zero level is actually pragmatic, situational meanings, determined by the very objective logic of achieving a goal in given specific conditions. The starting point of the first level is personal gain, convenience, prestige. Within the framework of the second level, the meaning

Is addiction normal or pathological?

The central moment of relations to reality becomes a person’s close environment (family, group), which he either identifies with himself or puts above himself in his interests and aspirations. The third level includes collectivist, social and, as its highest level, universal semantic orientation.

An important parameter of a personality is the orientation of its goals and needs. There are two types of orientation: individualism

and
collectivism.
Individualism refers to the priority of the goals and needs of the individual in comparison with the needs of major groups (family, team, society). In the collectivist model, personal values and needs are subordinated to the needs of the group. However, the relationships between people in society are more diverse and contribute to the formation of four combinations of individualism and collectivism, which, in turn, determines the development of certain personal qualities. There are horizontal and vertical individualism and collectivism.

For addictionology as a branch of psychiatry and psychology of deviant behavior, knowledge of the mechanisms of formation of personal qualities and the mechanisms of formation of characterological properties is very important. Their relevance is associated with common changes in character and personality that appear in people with the onset of somatic or mental illness and who have suffered life shocks.

V. Frankl (1987) called spirituality, freedom and responsibility the fundamental qualities of a harmonious personality.

Spirituality reflects the moral side of life, forming personality traits aimed at the benefit of others.
Freedom represents freedom in relation to drives, heredity and environment.
Existential analysis recognizes man not only as free, but also as responsible.
Man is primarily responsible for finding and realizing meaning and realizing values. According to Frankl, he is responsible for pleasure and value, desire and meaning before conscience and God.
Thus, a harmonious personality should be understood as an individual who, in the process of socialization, has consciously formed as a person who has responsibility for his own destiny and actions, independence and autonomy in decision-making, and is guided in his life by moral laws. It can be argued that a harmonious person lives in accordance with the motto: “Nobody owes me anything.” This principle should be understood as a refusal to make claims to others (parents, children, the state, etc.) in cases of failure in life. Within the framework of addictions, all of the listed qualities appear inverse. Responsibility is replaced by obligation, independence by dependence, morality by immorality.

Characteristic manifestations of a harmoniously developed person

You can call yourself harmoniously developed if you have the following manifestations:

the presence of a calm mood, the predominance of positive emotions;
the main support in life is “I myself”, I don’t blame my problems on circumstances;
a positive attitude towards oneself, even when certain shortcomings are identified;
flexibility of emotional state;
having a healthy lifestyle;
acceptance of the fact that there is “evil” and “good”, that there is a “dark” and “light side” in the world;
a real look at what is happening in the world around us;
good relationships with family members, colleagues and friends;
having life goals and achieving them;
general life satisfaction;
the ability to limit oneself in desires and choose priorities;
moderate manifestation of temperament;
friendly attitude towards strangers;
the ability to properly spend energy;
desire to learn new things;
unity with natural resources, a sense of the beauty of nature;
presence of creative activity.

Humanistic model of child development

In modern pedagogy, the leading idea is the education of a harmonious, developed personality using a humanistic model.

To become a harmonious personality, a child must develop comprehensively.

Its main positions:

Every person is unique.
For him, the formation of moral values is mandatory.
A person must understand the meaning of his existence.
Each individual must be internally free, which is expressed in the desire to improve himself.

Since a person is an integral system, he should be studied from different sides. At the same time, it is important to understand how he sees the world and himself in it. You need to realize that he is an active and creative individual.

The internal development of a person lasts throughout life. This process is individual and has different intensity. Only active actions will lead to a positive result. If you don’t make any effort to do this, then you can remain mediocre - not interesting or attractive to anyone.

At any age, you can improve your quality of life through inner growth. Reading books, learning foreign languages, embodying your youthful ideas, creativity, communicating with interesting people help this process.

The problem of disharmony

It is also important to know about the characteristic manifestations of a disharmonious personality:

isolation;
disturbances in the emotional sphere;
unmotivated aggression;
behavioral problems;
suspiciousness;
presence of doubts and fears.

The presence of the above character traits leads to the development of inadequate self-esteem.

In disharmonious individuals, conscious life and unconscious affects interfere with normal life and personality development. There is an intrapersonal conflict, which leads to the inability to make correct decisions and respond adequately to them even in elementary situations. Both external and internal conditions can influence the development of such conflicts.

External ones are characterized by the inability to satisfy deeply significant motives. A person experiences a contradiction between his desire and what he can actually do. It is important to decide on life priorities. Sometimes it won’t be superfluous to visit a psychologist or psychotherapist, because the problem may be hidden deeply, for example, the presence of childhood psychotrauma is possible.
Internal ones may include subjective unsolvability, the problematic nature of the situation that has arisen. Such an intrapersonal conflict can be resolved only if the individual changes his attitude to a particular case, and he develops new motives that allow him to return to normal life activities.

What is inner harmony

In 2021, scientists conducted a large-scale international study in which almost three thousand people were surveyed about what happiness is and what contributes most to it. The findings revealed a strong cross-cultural tendency to view happiness in terms of both positive emotions and feelings of inner peace and harmony. The authors of the study emphasized that, according to the survey results, the influence of internal harmony on the level of happiness is much higher than noted in the psychological literature.

So what is inner harmony? Inner harmony is a perfect state of soul, mind, body and heart, when a person accepts and realizes all his desires, high goals and dreams. Inner harmony is the highest pleasure, meaning a person’s ability to focus on what is really important, as well as his ability to control his thoughts.

True inner harmony does not depend on external conditions and circumstances. It bestows peace and balance, as well as the ability to remain calm, calm and in control even in difficult and unpleasant situations.

How to cultivate a harmonious personality

There are certain principles, following which will allow you to find harmony over time.

It is important to always remain yourself. Today you can meet people who do not want to demonstrate their true feelings even to themselves; they limit themselves to far-fetched norms and rules. As a result, it turns out that a person himself does not know what exactly he wants. Due to this, he does not achieve any success, because without knowing what you want, you cannot achieve what you want. Therefore, stop following imposed stereotypes, understand that you must be yourself, do not be shy about your desires and achieve what you really want.
Don't be afraid of change. Of course, many people plan their lives ahead. However, no one is immune from possible changes and unforeseen situations. A harmoniously developed person differs from an ordinary person in that he allows himself to make mistakes, he does not blame himself for the fact that something did not go the way he would like, he is able to adapt to changes, and does not take possible failures to heart.
Don't remember bad things. Some people carry some kind of negative information through the years, storing in their memory what still causes unpleasant emotions today. The correct thing is the desire to let go of the past, to understand that it cannot be changed, that it should not affect the future.
See the beauty of the world around you. It is important to learn to recognize the beauty around you. Many of us are accustomed to monotonous everyday life, not noticing what is happening around us. Few people pay attention to the singing of birds, to the dew on the leaves of trees, to the first buds or opening flower buds. And sometimes it’s worth not rushing at breakneck speed to work or school, but stop for a second and look around, notice the beauty of nature. You also need to go into the forest more often, go to the park, in order to directly contact the outside world.
Laughter prolongs life. It has been scientifically proven that people who have a positive attitude towards life are significantly less likely to experience stress. Positive emotions have a beneficial effect on overall health. A person's anxiety level decreases.

An individual who wants to find harmony needs to learn to adhere to the following practices:

self-control - it is important to learn to resist your addictions and control them;
the ability to analyze committed actions and draw conclusions based on them - this allows you to understand your true desire, make your actions responsible and conscious;
the ability to analyze one's thoughts.

Now you know what it means to form a harmonious personality. As you can see, a person must strive for harmony with his inner, spiritual world and everything that surrounds him. Try to change your life for the better, strive for harmony.

Factors that interfere with the harmonious development of personality

Focus on your partner

It sounds paradoxical, but it is the relationships we enter into that can prevent us from finding inner harmony and experiencing genuine happiness.

The meeting of two people, each of whom has their own experience and life values, leads to an inevitable collision of their internal spaces. Over time, they merge: we share emotions and experiences with each other, share the feelings of our partner, get acquainted with his environment, provide a place in ours, implement joint plans, build ideas for a common future.

In fact, it is very good when relationships develop harmoniously and there are common interests and aspirations. But here it is very important to maintain the ability to self-control, manage your own feelings, and not let real dreams turn into airy and unattainable. By dissolving into a person, we risk losing ourselves.

If one day it happens that he leaves our lives, then what will we have left? Pain, disappointment, resentment? Will life have the same colors with which it was saturated before this meeting? Will we be able to stay on our feet and get back on track, wanting to create and create? Or will we hit ourselves painfully, falling under the pressure of our negative emotions, and wait until someone picks us up?

A harmonious personality will never allow feelings to take over their mind, no matter how strong and bright they may be. She strives to preserve her inner world from the possibility of being broken even by a loved one, and will always find a way to recover after a loss on her own.

Comfort zone: within the usual

Discussions about the existence of a comfort zone and ways to get out of it have now become very popular and fashionable. And the goal that encourages you to take such a step is to gain self-confidence and improve your quality of life.

Secrets of the subconscious. Why is fear needed and how to overcome it?

Any psychologist today will tell us that leaving your comfort zone is not only possible, but also necessary. The most important thing is to do this thoughtfully, calculating every step you take. First of all, you need to determine the boundaries of this zone, understand what is simply unusual for you, and what seems strange, unnatural or unacceptable. In this case, by leaving your comfort zone, you are dooming yourself to a test. And this is difficult even for people who are not complex.

Overcoming yourself and your fears is actually necessary so that you can always stay in the rhythm of life. But at the same time, it is very important to understand the goals for which you are ready to do this, assess possible risks and predict losses. Otherwise, regularly exposing yourself to such violent actions, you will simply “break” and lose your life guidelines.

Taking off the masks

Very often we present ourselves as who not only those around us want to see us, but also ourselves. This is nothing more than real self-deception. Why is it so difficult for most people to remain themselves?

A person is always attracted by the success and appearance of other people, causing the need to have what someone else has. Envy and the desire to be like another, more prosperous person follow us on our heels. It’s normal when there is a certain ideal that you want to imitate, adopt useful habits, and look for ways to achieve the same success. But at the same time, it is very important not to lose your identity and purpose.

You get angry when you see that someone lives better than you, earns more, has a more attractive appearance. You resent a life that has deprived you of the same opportunities. But this is not so. Your destiny entirely belongs and depends on you.

If you don’t like your image, change your hair, your image, your clothes. Take care of yourself, spend time on your appearance. Work does not bring pleasure - start looking for another one, learn something new that will allow you to have additional income. Your relationship with your partner has reached a dead end and brings only disappointment - learn to free yourself from this pressure.

Complaining that everything is bad for you while others are doing well will not help you achieve your own ideal. You need to enjoy everything that surrounds you and what you do. Then you will understand that you are walking the road leading to happiness.

Endless cycle of desires

A person needs to be able to dream, set goals for himself, strive for them - without this, internal growth and harmonious development of the individual are impossible. It is thanks to desires that we are able to realize our full potential for their implementation.

Everyone’s dreams are different, but only one thing unites us: the moment of fulfillment of our cherished desires. Oh, this feeling of euphoria and pleasure - I finally got what I so desperately wanted and strived for. Now we are happy, but what then?
