Symbolic Self-Completion
Can now be spelled out, using the concepts of

-Commitment to goals
-Symbols of completeness
-Social reality.
Commitment to Self-Defining Goals
-From Lewin's perspective a goal-specific tension

remains active only as long as the person is involved
psychologically in the pursuit of the goal.
- Ovsiankina (1928) found that when the task was
important personally to subjects, the resumption
effects were strongest.
Symbols of Completeness
-Self-descriptions are self-representatives of one's standing

with respect to a self-defining goal that are potentially
recognizable by others.
-The human is not solely dependent on these kinds of open
self-characterizations.
-There are numerous abbreviations for immediate social
acknowledgment, many of these "status symbols".
Having a diploma from a graduate school is a broadly
recognized symbol of the person's self-definition, and it will
propel the person toward a sense of completeness.
-Titles, official occupational positions, and membership in
select interest groups are all socially evolved mechanisms for
providing the individual with markers of possessing an
aspired-to self-definition.

Social Reality
Mahler (1933) found that the tension-reduction potential of a
substitute task depended largely on whether or not solving
the substitute task carried a "social reality".
-Once others acknowledge the person for having solved the

problem, having solved it becomes a social fact and thus can
serve as a self-defining symbol.
-Once a person has an indicator at hand, the sense of

completeness should be enhanced to the degree that one can
inform more people about it.
C. The Spiritual Self
Religion
An organized system of ideas about the spiritual or
supernatural realm that is accompanied by rituals.
-Through rituals, people attempt to influence things
that they think are beyond their control.
Symbolic Self-Completion
Spirituality
Is the search for meaning and direction in life and the
ways by which one may preserve these?
-Spirituality also concerns an aspect of the divine and
supernatural but is oftentimes limited to the
individual, with no need for any formal organization.

The two are related, although not separate from one another, spirituality
is much more profound than religion
. Religion
Its Role in Society:
• To explain things • To establish order
• To justify things • To provide support
• Socializes people • Vehicle for passage into a different
domain
Theories on Religion:
• Cognitive • Psychological
• Social Function

Religion – Organized
Organized belief in the supernatural.
Fulfills numerous social and psychological needs.
In the last 10,000 years, no group of people have
gone/existed within religion.
Religion – Symbols
• Religions make use of many symbols
• Norms, words, ideas and objects that point to other
objects.
• When put together, these symbols become a
system of knowledge. (System of Knowledge)
Religion – Myths
Stories that have explanations about the divine and
the supernatural. Within a culturally, myths are
considered real.
This is accompanied by ideology and a worldview.
Modern “major” religions have their myths
Hinduism - Brahma, Krishna, Vishnu, many more.
Islam - Muhammad and the Angel Gabriel
Judaism & Christianity - Adam & Eve
Taosim - The Jade Emperor/Heavenly Grandfather.
Myth
• Religious, sacred, stories that provide basis for
beliefs/practices.
• Origins of humanity, creation of the universe,
nature of death/illness.
• Lay the founding for values/morals.
• Can be passed down verbally or in writing.
• Myths help to shape a culture’s worldview
Worldview
The collective set of beliefs that people in
a society hold about the ultimate form
and content of their reality.

What Functions Do Religion and Spirituality Serve?

• They alleviate fear by illuminating the enigmatic and
providing solace during trying times.
• They set expectations for acceptable behavior by defining
concepts such as right and wrong.
• It can be used to help people learn oral traditions better by
incorporating ritual into the process.
Two types of Religious Rituals:
• According to the Calendar (Calendric)
• Based on crisis
Rites of Passage
• Rites of separation –involve the separation of the individual
from society
• Rites of transition –temporary separation of an individual
before inclusion in a big group
• Rites of incorporation – in the new state/condition, the
individual is returned to the big group.
• Rites of intensification – used in times of problem or crisis, in
order to unify, reduce fear or to mobilize people into action

SEVEN WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR SPIRITUAL HEALTH
-The spiritual element of wellness can be the most personal
piece of the puzzle when trying to place all eight dimensions
of wellness together.
-Since spiritual wellness involves one's values, beliefs, and
purpose, it can be achieved in several ways. It's best to figure
out what techniques work for you.

Explore your spiritual core
-Ask yourself: Who am I? What is my purpose? What do I
value most? These questions will lead you down a road where
you will think more in-depth about yourself.
- They will also allow you to notice things about yourself that
will help you achieve fulfillment.
Look for deeper meanings
-Being aware of the patterns in your life and how they affect
you can help you to see that you have control over your
destiny.
-Being aware of this can also help you achieve a happy and
healthy life.
Get it out
-Expressing what is on your mind will help you to
maintain a focused mind.
-By writing down your thoughts, you might be able
think clearer and move forward.
Try yoga
-A spiritual practice that can help improve your physical,
emotional and spiritual well-being.
-It can help lower stress, boost the immune system, and lower
blood pressure as well as reduce anxiety, depression, fatigue,
and insomnia.

Travel
-Taking time for yourself can do wonders for your mental
health.
-Some activities to take part in when on a trip can be
exercising, meditation or even taking a vow of silence.
- It can help you weed out stressors and set your mind on the
right path for overall wellness.
Think positively
-You'll feel more at ease once you eliminate negativity and
reframe your perceptions of certain things and situations.
-When you begin to see things from a more positive
perspective, you will begin to think differently and rediscover
a happy, healthy state of mind.

Take time to meditate
While managing time and daily tasks can be difficult, it is
critical to connect with yourself.
-Every day, for five to ten minutes, meditate in the morning, at
lunch, or before bed.
-Meditating and relaxing will help you clear your mind and
strengthen your spiritual connection.
