Several recent popular film and television programs have become popular “electronic pickles”. In the "healing drama" "My Altay", the literary young woman Li Wenxiu has been frustrated frequently, but she has always insisted on her dream of writing; in the "refreshing drama" " Mo Yuyunjian ", Xue Fangfei faced "the beginning of hell" , always defying power and constantly challenging difficulties; in the "love growth drama" " Rose Story ", Huang Yimei experienced four unforgettable loves and grew up in laughter and tears. The characters in these dramas are all powerful and charming. What can we do to shine through the bumps in life like them?
In fact, people like them who face the challenges of life in a positive manner usually have strong psychological capital. Psychological capital consists of four positive psychological development states: self-efficacy, hope, optimism and resilience.
Self-efficacy is a person's subjective judgment of one's ability to successfully complete a specific task after putting in the necessary effort. For example, Huang Yimei in "The Story of a Rose" has a strong sense of self-efficacy in learning. After working, she took postgraduate entrance examinations across majors, obtained a teacher qualification certificate while raising a child, and learned to fly a plane at the age of 40... She always believes that as long as you study hard, there is no need to overcome Unable to solve difficult problems, and constantly challenge new learning areas.
hope is a positive state of being able to re-select the route to achieve a goal when necessary to achieve a certain goal. For example, in "My Altay", in order to realize his dream of writing, Li Wenxiu insisted on recording his life and submitting articles, whether he was working in Urumqi or running a canteen in Altay. When he ran out of paper, he wrote poems and distant places on birch bark.
Optimism is characterized by a positive explanatory style that attributes good current and future events to internal, lasting, and universal causes, while attributing bad events to external, temporary, and specific causes. For example, in "My Altay", Li Wenxiu's mother Zhang Fengxia continued to sleep after her bed collapsed, her grandmother found it after she lost it, and she compensated the villagers herself when she was defrauded of money. She would not fall into mental exhaustion due to temporary difficulties and live a free and positive life.
Resilience refers to the ability to quickly recover, adapt and grow when faced with challenges, pressure or adversity. In "Mo Yu Yun Jian", Xue Fangfei faced the betrayal and injury of her ex-husband. Although she was in pain, she worked hard to live a new life in Zhennu Hall, Jiang Family, Mingyi Hall, and Luyang, so as to accumulate strength for the future redress of injustice.
Psychological capital is a psychological state of positive development. Psychologists believe that psychological capital goes beyond social capital and human capital and can enable individuals to gain competitive advantages. Social capital refers to resources such as personal social relationships and work relationship networks, while human capital refers to resources such as knowledge and skills accumulated by individuals through learning and experience. Psychological resources, like social capital and human capital, have been found to have an important impact on individuals. and enterprise development. So how do we improve our psychological capital and live a shining life? We can jointly improve psychological capital from the four aspects of self-efficacy, hope, optimism and resilience.
1. Improvement of self-efficacy: experience success and observe learning.
Psychological research has found that self-efficacy has four sources, namely: personal successful experience, vicarious experience, persuasion of others' words, and emotional and physiological influences. Specifically, personal experience of success and failure means that people gain direct behavioral experience through their own actions, which has the greatest impact on the formation of self-efficacy; vicarious experience means that people gain insights into their own possibilities through observing and learning the behaviors and results of others. Sexual understanding; verbal persuasion from others refers to praise, encouragement, evaluation, suggestions, advice, etc. from important others; good physiological state and positive emotional reactions will improve our judgment of our own abilities, whereas physical fatigue and strong negative emotions will Will reduce self-efficacy.
In "The Story of Roses", Huang Yimei took the initiative and successfully contacted Mr. Teng for Mr. Jiang; Su Gengsheng followed Mr. Jiang as soon as he graduated and learned her management style. He grew up quickly and was promoted quickly; Huang Yimei and Su Gengsheng are very good friends. Good friends, when they encounter failure or confusion, they will contact each other immediately for support; Huang Yimei and Su Gengsheng have always been doing work that they are interested in and good at, and their work can bring them a sense of accomplishment and pleasure. Therefore, directly experiencing success is the simplest and fastest way. You can indirectly observe and learn from others. When you are not strong enough, you can also seek encouragement and support from people around you, or try relaxed and enjoyable activities, which can improve your self-efficacy.
2. Improvement of hope: Break down the goals and enjoy the process.
If we give ourselves a "boost" from the beginning and set lofty goals that are difficult to achieve, we will easily become discouraged and lose hope of continuing to move forward. We can set up lofty ideals, but we must also break down and refine our goals in order to be down-to-earth and move forward step by step towards our ideals.
Xue Fangfei in "Mo Yu Yun Jian" did not try to reach the sky in one fell swoop and rashly report those who harmed her. Instead, she first left the Chastity Hall, entered the Jiang family, and then entered the Mingyi Hall, and won the first prize in the annual examination... while secretly investigating. case, moving towards the goal step by step. In addition to breaking down the goals, Xue Fangfei does not just look at the winning or losing results of each challenge. She also makes good friends in the process, helps others, and enjoys the fun of overcoming obstacles and achieving goals.
3. Improvement of optimism: Tolerate the past and appreciate the present.
Tolerating the past refers to accepting one's past failures, and appreciating the present refers to being grateful and affirming the positive aspects of current life. This is a way to cultivate an optimistic attitude.
In "My Altay", Li Wenxiu has been fired from the restaurant, but she did not forget to straighten the crooked portrait before leaving; the house leaked, she used a plastic bag to catch the water and drained it, and smiled to admire her creativity: "Welcome to Wenxiu Hydropower station. "The so-called optimism is just like what Li Juan wrote in the original work "My Altay": "Don't always linger in the memories of the past, and don't always let yesterday's rain soak today's luggage. Don’t wear today’s clothes.”
4. Improvement of resilience: internal and external support, making good use of resources.
wants to improve resilience. Internally, he should not be limited by temporary difficulties and believe in his own power of growth; externally, he should reasonably seek support from others and external resources to cope with difficulties.
Xue Fangfei in "Mo Yu Yun Jian" encounters no matter how difficult the challenge is, she still finds ways to overcome it; when her personal strength is not enough to overcome the difficulties, she will also seek support resources around her, such as Mrs. Liu, her father, her grandmother, her cousin, etc. People support.
Psychologist Seligman said: "When a country or nation is plagued by hunger and war, the tasks of social science and psychology are mainly to resist and treat trauma; but in peacetime without social unrest, the task of Making people's lives better has become their main mission. "We can imitate the charming characters of hit dramas and improve our own psychological capital, which will help develop positive psychological qualities and enhance positive emotional experiences.
