ABSTRACT
This article discusses the essence of the concept of healthy thinking, methods for improving healthy thinking,
principles, directions of healthy thinking, and individual characteristics of thinking.
KEYWORDS
Healthy thinking, method, individual characteristics, education, intelligence, health, person, flexibility, purposefulness.
INTRODUCTION
In the world, the only goal of education is to improve
the methods of developing healthy thinking, while the
main factors of cognitive, conative, creative,
innovative,
intellectual
potential
are
studied
separately. In scientific and practical research at the
University of Melbourne in Australia, special attention
is paid to issues of thinking, creativity of the individual,
his emotional state, intelligence and their relationship
with society. In this regard, there is a need to study the
problems
associated
with
determining
the
professional success and potential of young people as
indicator indicators through the criteria of thinking,
with the recognition of creative abilities, giftedness,
talent of the individual as a strategic reserve of society.
In this context, I use the concepts of “health” and
“healthy” not in the everyday sense, but in accordance
with professional definitions of health, in particular, in
the sense of the well-known definition of the (World
Health Organization): “Health is a state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being and not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity.” Accordi

healthy thinking is such specific thinking skills that
allow not only to avoid illnesses and physical infirmity
as much as possible, but also to ensure “a state of
complete physical, psychological and social well-
being”. In this sense, healthy thinki
ng is one of the
most important and fundamental factors of health in
any sense. And it is precisely cognitive social
psychology, on whose achievements I rely, that has
made a great contribution to filling the concept of
“healthy thinking” with specific sci
entific content. In
psychology, healthy thinking is recognized as healthy
thought that controls emotions and emotions.
It was used under different names in the studies of the
famous scientist J. Orlov, devoted to the study of
healthy thinking. For example: it is used with such
words as positive thinking, healthy thinking, optimistic
thinking,
constructive
thinking,
rational
and
harmonious thinking.
"Social psychology", as American psychologists Lee
Ross and Richard Nisbett write in their book "Man and
Situation", "challenges philosophy's right to teach
people that they do not really understand how the
world they live in works. This branch of psychology has
created very important prerequisites for the
awareness of this deep-rooted ignorance and for a
truly sober look at man himself and the true properties
of his interaction with other people and with objective
reality.
This new view assumes three most important
principles: the principle of situationism, the principle of
subjective interpretation and construction (construal)
and the idea of tense systems.
It follows from the first principle that human behavior
and thinking are extremely dependent on the specific
properties of the situation in which the individual finds
himself. An important addition to this principle is the
idea of so-called "channel factors", i.e. such elements
of the situation that seem secondary, but the presence
of which greatly facilitates the achievement of certain
goals, and the absence of which greatly complicates
them.
The second principle explains the high degree of
subjectivity and literal fantasizing of a person in the
perception of reality. This principle allows us to
develop adequate measures for teaching the skills
required for the most realistic orientation of a person
in the world.
The third principle is a fundamental concept,
developed in recent decades, of the individual psyche
and the psyche of groups as dynamic, tense systems,
the equilibrium (stability) of which is only a
consequence of the zero sum of vectors representing
constantly acting contradictory influences and
processes. Such a concept is the result of general
scientific achievements, expressed in theories of

systems, chaos and catastrophes, i.e. theories of any
complex dynamic formations.
An essential consequence of this concept is the focus
not on a straightforward approach to solving
problems, but on the search for “channel factors” and
critical points of application of forces, when relatively
insignificant efforts in seemingly minor areas can bring
tangible and even global results.
To understand the principles of healthy thinking, it
would probably be better to start describing from the
opposite, that is, from what prevents it.
And cognitive distortions prevent it. These are thinking
errors, thanks to which we do not adequately perceive
reality.
By and large, these are exaggerated and irrational
thought patterns that reinforce negative emotions and
beliefs, causing a person to feel anxious or depressed.
Any process of cognition and acquisition of knowledge
is formed thanks to our thoughts, experience and
senses. But if these thoughts are distorted, it just so
happens that in the process of life we accumulate
various psychological traumas, losses and stresses,
forming certain defense mechanisms. To this can be
added the neuropsychology of the brain, which in the
process of its evolutionary development has
developed the cognitive strategies necessary for
survival.
These cognitive errors are not gross pathology, I would
even say that they are some kind of error that occurs
as a growth in the process of lifetime, which makes it
difficult for the brain to adequately process
information and which tries to reduce its work by
conserving energy, compressing and simplifying
information when it is too complex, there is a lot of it,
or when there is an urgent need to make important
decisions.
These mistakes are often concluded with a certain
form of bias, illogic, irrationality, "attribution error",
when a person tries to explain some of his mistakes
and problems by external factors and life
circumstances, and the mistakes of others by their
personal qualities. Kahneman, in his book "Think
Slowly," describes very clearly how we make our
judgment mistakes under the influence of feelings and
emotions. I recommend reading.
Therefore, having cognitive distortions, it is difficult for
most people to live consciously and think with a
healthy mindset.
The principles of healthy thinking are the skills of a
realistic, rational, logical and consistent approach,
which is based on the achievement of goals,
description of facts, common sense and compliance
with results.
Individual features of thinking.

People are unique. We have a unique appearance,
voice, div structure that distinguishes us from other
representatives of the species.
Everyone can distinguish individual features of thinking
on the basis of the following properties:
Depth, how much a person is able to delve into the
depth of the problem, to determine the nuances of
phenomena and processes.
Breadth, the ability to simultaneously process the
entire situation, including various details, the ability to
perceive the picture as a whole.
Independence, knowing how to find or calculate the
answer to the question posed independently, is
characteristic of creative individuals.
Flexibility, the ability to switch to still unsolved tasks,
change the emphasis of the thought process, and learn
the essence of the changed problem.
Speed of thinking, time needed to think over the task,
search for a solution.
Purposefulness is the ability not to deviate to
secondary phenomena on the way to solving the
problem.
Criticality, the ability to give an objective assessment of
one's own or other people's thoughts, the tendency to
check and double-check the information received, the
statements of others.
Economy is a property due to which synthesis and
decision-making are carried out in the least number of
logical moves.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion the specificity of human thinking in each
case is different, because everyone has developed
certain types of it to a different extent. And not only
the way of thinking depends on which of them prevails,
but also the parameters of personality, the abilities of
a person, and the inclination to a particular profession.
