Applying Psychology to Everyday Life
Different people have distinctive perspectives on how they view life. People's perspectives are determined by how they interpret two super interactive factors. These two factors are; the external environment of people's lives and how people subjectively interpret the external environment. The way people interpret the environmental factors surrounding them will affect them physically, mentally, and emotionally. A person's idea of how to interpret the environment involves evaluating the environment and the possible ways that will make them cope with the environment (Hodgetts, Stolte, Sonn, Drew, Carr, & Nikora, 2020). The goal of this essay is to discuss how psychology can be applied to somebody's everyday life.
Personal Life
Psychology is important in marriage because it helps one understand their partners better. When a man and woman come together to form a family, a bond is created between them, and it is this bond determines the success of a marriage. When people relate well in marriage, they can build each other and achieve a better future. A couple that is not on good terms can cause a lot of damage to each other’s lives instead of building each other. As a wife, my only wish in life is to have a marriage that I feel loved, and for me to achieve this, I have to involve the five love languages in my marriage. The five love languages help couples know how to show love and affection to your spouse; couples get to know how to deal with anger, understand how to deal with failure, and know when to apologize. Lastly, they promote happiness in the relationship despite small irritations.
Having babies is enchanting and exciting, but there comes a time when all this becomes hectic and burdening (Hodgetts, Stolte, Sonn, Drew, Carr, & Nikora, 2020). Babies depend on their parents for every single thing they need in their life, forcing parents to work extra hard to give their children the best life. There are societal perceptions that a woman should be a superhuman being, meaning that she should attend to all assigned responsibilities. These expectations lead to pressure and can be harmful to a woman psychologically. Many women result from depression because they are not able to attend and balance all of their responsibilities. Motherhood is not easy, and women need a support system to raise their children in the right manner. Marriage partners should offer support like helping pay bills, helping in parenting, and showing love to their partner, thus motivating them to achieve their goals.
