Moving away from positive thinking, exploring one’s own personal boundaries, increasing interest in specialized literature… In recent years, psychology has become more and more popular, which gives rise to new trends. Let’s talk about the main ones.
1. Mindfulness
A trend that began to actively spread in 2020 and is only gaining momentum is the desire of people for awareness. Over the past time, many have managed to both admire the advantages of a meaningful lifestyle and ridicule it in all possible ways. What development awaits him? Mindfulness will become the norm for most people, something that is vital for mental health. And not a fashionable theme and the achievement of the “chosen ones”.
2. Refusal of achievements
People began to understand that endorphin races or serotonin addictions do not give happiness to life. Goals and results are important, but they will never replace life itself. So today’s trend is not to be slaves to our goals, but to learn how to harmoniously fit them into life. That is why not only strategic sessions for companies, but also personal strategizing are becoming so popular.
3. Work with internal energy
Everything is logical: who has more energy, he manages to do more. He has a lot of ideas and inspiration. If we know how to interact with our energy, then we attract people and interesting projects to us. This also applies to the financial sector, because finance is also a certain energy that must be managed.
This trend is connected to another, no less popular one – to work with burnout. But now people are trying to work not with burnout itself — a consequence, but with its causes. That is, with what and how we spend energy.
4. Focus on mental health
Previously, many of us were fans of only physical health — running, fitness, healthy lifestyle. But psychological health, as it seemed to us, would somehow get better by itself — if suddenly something was wrong with him.
The trend, which originated in 2021, will have to develop over the next 5 years — until the moment when we reach a new level in psychological culture. When the ability to take care of our psyche, to allocate time for recovery from injuries and rebuild our own mentality will not be something unusual for us. So the work of psychologists will only increase.
5. The choice of professionals
People are gradually beginning to distinguish between «pseudo-specialists» without basic education and experience from real professional psychologists. And they strive to use the services of those who work not according to a learned pattern, but at the request of a specific client.
