HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT

THE PROCESSES & PERIODS OF HOLISTIC


DEVELOPMENT
The biological (physiological) process involves bodily changes, like brain
development, physical growth and weight increases. It’s how small people
physically transform from children to adults.
Gradual changes in size, shape, and function during an organism's life that
translate its genetic potentials (genotype) into functioning mature systems
(phenotype).

The cognitive process includes thinking, intelligence and


language skills. It’s how the youngest members of society
intellectually graduate from simple to complex ways of thinking.
Cognitive development is how a person
perceives,
thinks, and
gains understanding of their world through the relations of genetic and
learning factors. There are four stages to cognitive information development.
They are, reasoning, intelligence,
language, and memory.
THE PROCESSES & PERIODS OF HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT
The social-emotional (psychosocial) process comprises
personality,
emotions and
interpersonal connections.
It’s how individuals’ behaviors progresses from childish to mature.
Social and emotional development means how children start to understand who
they are, what they are feeling and what to expect when interacting with others.
It is the development of being able to: Form and sustain positive relationships.
Experience, manage and express emotions.
The spiritual stage of human development profoundly
(having or showing great knowledge or understanding) influences
cognition,
moral reasoning, and
lifelong learning.
It encourages individuals to engage in deep, abstract thinking, fosters
internalized ethical values, and promotes a lifelong quest for knowledge and
self-awareness.

healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life,
from childhood to adolescence and through adulthood.

psychological, and
social well-being.
Emotional Health
Emotional health refers to how a person thinks and feels. The ability
to acknowledge and cope with both positive and negative emotions is
a sign of good emotional health.
Emotional well-being, or emotional health or wellness, refers to how
well people are able to accept and manage their emotions and cope
with challenges throughout life.

Expressing Your Emotions in a Healthy Way
Use positive self-talk
We all have an inner dialogue running through our heads, which
is sometimes negative and counterproductive. If you have a
negative inner dialogue, this is bound to make healthy self-expression
difficult (Beck et al., 1979; Ingram & Wisnicki, 1988; Hiçdurmaz et
al., 2017). Consider whether the messages in your head are
damaging, and if so, work on ways to replace them with positive
ones.
Be a good listener
It might be helpful to remember that… “…we have two ears and one
mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.”
It is hurtful to feel unheard (Nichols, 2009), so LISTEN to your
family, friends, and coworkers and you will be in a far better position
to respond with expressions of empathy and understanding.
Try spirituality
Mother Teresa said:
Joy is prayer; joy is strength; joy is love; joy is a net of love by which
you can catch souls. -Mother Teresa
Many others have also found strength in the self-transcendent
emotions related to spirituality (Stellar et al., 2017; Haidt, 2003),
and if you need an extra nudge in terms of expressing your emotions,
it might help you too.
Practice empathy
Whether among family (Geiger et al., 2016), friends (Goleman,
2006), or coworkers (McKee et al., 2017), practicing empathy creates
bonds that enable us to be emotionally in sync with others.

Model emotional expression


Children who see adults healthily express a range of emotions are
more likely to follow suit (Corso, 2007). If you are someone who
spends time with young people, show them what healthy emotional
expression looks like.
Forgive
Elbert Hubbard said:
The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven
forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of
the gods.
Whether you have not forgiven yourself or someone else, holding a
grudge is the antithesis of expression. If you free yourself from
resentment, you will open your heart and mind to positive expression
Enright & Fitzgibbons, 2014; Toussaint & Webb, 2005; Karremans et
al. 2003).
Practice acceptance
Happiness can exist only in acceptance. -George Orwell
Try to accept those aspects of your life that are out of your control.
Doing so will make you feel better while freeing up your mind to
become more emotionally expressive (Chapman et al., 2011; Linehan,
2014).
Be grateful
Happiness is itself a kind of gratitude.
-Joseph Wood Krutch
It is pretty hard to be unhappy while feeling thankful. Appreciate what
you have and you will be better able to express a sense of joy
(Emmons & Crumpler, 2000; Emmons & McCullough, 2003;
Emmons & Stern, 2013).
Don’t postpone happiness – savor the moment
Many people will not allow themselves to be happy
until they reach some sort of milestone (e.g., weight
loss, job promotion, etc.). The moment for joy is NOW,
and savoring pleasant experiences – big or small – has
been associated with higher levels of subjective
wellbeing (Smith & Bryant, 2017). Read more about
the benefits of positive emotions.

Try something new


If you are having trouble expressing your feelings, perhaps you are in
a rut. Getting out of your comfort zone often leads to greater
emotional expression and wellbeing (Heller et al., 2020).

Take a risk
Emotional expression equals risk; it means you are putting yourself in
the position of potential rejection. But meaningful conversations and
relationships require such risk. So, take a chance and you will be
rewarded (Brown, 2015).
Be optimistic
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done
without hope and confidence.
-Helen Keller
By focusing on the positive, you will find it easier to express yourself
in a range of situations while enjoying the many wonders of life
(Seligman, 2006).
Practice mindfulness
Whether in the form of meditation, yoga, or breathing
exercises, mindfulness has been found to promote optimism,
happiness,
positive emotional states, and
self-acceptance (Amutio et al., 2015). Each of these
outcomes aids in the promotion of emotional
expression.
Feelings or emotions are the universal language and are to be
honored. They are the authentic expression of who
you are in your deepest place. -Judith Wright

Some emotions are positive. Think of happiness, joy, interest,


excitement, gratitude, and love. These positive
emotions feel good.
Negative emotions — like sadness, anger, loneliness, jealousy, self-
criticism, fear, or rejection — can be difficult, even painful at times.
