Wachstum, Entfaltung des eigenen Potentials, Selbstverwirklichung (oder im Englischen Self-Actualization) sind Wörter, die für viele Menschen eine wichtige Rolle spielen, ja man könnte sagen, dass sich mit ihnen Glaubensvorstellungen verbinden, die einer Religion ähneln. Wo aber gehört der Begriff Selbstverwirklichung hin? Zu Psychologie, Biologie, Philosophie, Religion, zum Coaching oder auf die Müllhalde der Geistesgeschichte? Obwohl schon Aristoteles über die Entelechie (das Innehaben des Ziels) sprach, wurde der moderne Begriff erst im 20. Jahrhundert wissenschaftlich geformt. Der Neurologe Kurt Goldstein prägte den Begriff in seinem Werk „Der Aufbau des Organismus“. Er betrachtete Selbstverwirklichung als einen biologischen Drang, als Triebkraft eines Organismus, all seine Kapazitäten auszuschöpfen. Ein Organismus strebt danach, seine Integrität zu wahren und sein Potenzial in der Umwelt zu entfalten. Abraham Maslow ist der Name, den die meisten heute mit dem Begriff verbinden. In seinem Aufsatz „A Theory of Human Motivation“ stellte er die berühmte Bedürfnishierarchie vor. Selbstverwirklichung steht an der Spitze der Pyramide. Er definierte es als das Verlangen, immer mehr das zu werden, was man ist, und alles zu werden, wozu man fähig ist. Im Gegensatz zu Goldstein sah Maslow es als ein "Wachstumsbedürfnis", das erst richtig aktiv wird, wenn Defizitbedürfnisse (wie Hunger oder Sicherheit) gestillt sind. Der Psychotherapeut Carl Rogers integrierte das Konzept in seine klientenzentrierte Gesprächspsychotherapie. Er glaubte, dass jeder Mensch eine innere Tendenz hat, sich selbst zu erhalten und zu fördern. Psychische Probleme entstehen laut Rogers dann, wenn diese Entfaltung durch äußere Bedingungen (z.B. mangelnde Akzeptanz) blockiert wird. Maslow und Rogers gelten als Gründerfiguren der so genannten humanistischen Psychologie, die sich weniger an Defiziten als an positiven Möglichkeiten orientieren wollte. In der Psychologie wurde darüber debattiert, ob die Thesen der humanistischen Psychologie wissenschaftlich prüfbar sind. Kann man Selbstverwirklichung wirklich messen? Was "volles Potenzial" bedeutet, ist subjektiv. Für den einen ist es das Malen von Meisterwerken, für den anderen die Erziehung von Kindern. Kritiker werfen dem Konzept vor, sehr westlich und individualistisch geprägt zu sein. In kollektivistischen Kulturen wird "Selbstverwirklichung" oft durch den Beitrag zur Gemeinschaft definiert, nicht durch die eigene Entfaltung. Die humanistische Psychologie verschwand zusammen mit ihren Therapien aus den Universitäten und Ausbildungsstellen. Die so genannte Positive Psychologie versucht, das Erbe anzutreten. Moderne Forscher dieser Richtung haben das Konzept in messbare Faktoren zerlegt: Autonomie, Kompetenz und soziale Eingebundenheit. Diese drei Faktoren sind empirisch extrem gut belegt und gelten als moderne, wissenschaftliche Entsprechung der Selbstverwirklichung. Was aber wird aus der Idee, dass wir ein Potential in uns tragen, dass es zu entfalten gilt? Ist das – wenigstens als Glaubensvorstellung oder Orientierung - noch sinnvoll?

fff- fit frei froh und gesund ebenso durch und mit Lachyoga Wir lachen auch bei Regen!!! Jeden Sonntag auf dem Tempelhofer Feld mit Heidi Janetzky. Lachyoga ist Wellness, Fitness, Resilienz- und Gesundheitstraining zugleich! Deshalb entwickelte der indische Arzt, Dr. Madan Kataria 1995 diese fröhliche spielerische Yoga-Methode: Lachen ohne Grund. Lachend, spielend, tanzend, singend und bewusst tief atmend - auch bei Frost und Schnee - stärkst Du gleichzeitig Deine körperliche und mentale Gesundheit und Fitness sowie Dein Immunsystem! So beugst Du Krankheiten vor. Dafür gibt es auch eine spezielle Übung: das vorbeugende Lachen. Du verbindest Dich lachend mit den anderen Teilnehmer\*innen. Du aktivierst eine Menge Glückshormone. So stärkst Du Deine Resilienz und kannst gelassener, fröhlicher und unbeschwerter in die neue Woche gehen. Und bei Kälte lachst Du Dich warm!!! Wichtig: warme Füße!!! Also entsprechende Schuhe sind wichtig!!! Übrigens: "Lachen ist der Tanz des Atems" sagt ein indisches Sprichwort. Es ist also Atemtherapie pur. Wo kannst du besser Sauerstoff aufnehmen als an frischer Luft? Auf dem Tempelhofer Feld lachen wir seit 2010 bei jedem Wetter, außer bei einer Unwetterwarnung. Lachyoga kennt keine Altersgrenze, im Gegenteil, es hält jung und verbindet "jung und alt" super miteinander!!! Neugierig geworden? Einfach kommen und mitlachen! offene Gruppe: jede/r ist herzlich eingeladen, mitzulachen, ohne Voranmeldung und ohne Vorkenntnisse bitte mitbringen: Lust, was Neues auszuprobieren; was zu trinken, denn Lachen macht durstig. Teilnahme: auf wertschätzender Spendenbasis Teilnehmer\*innen spenden im Durchschnitt 3-10 Euro. von: [Lachsonne](https://www.gratis-in-berlin.de/component/uddeim/?task=new&recip=8199 "::Nachricht an User schreiben") Mehr Infos im Internet: * [https://www.kreativitaet-und-lachen.de](https://www.kreativitaet-und-lachen.de/offene-ly-gruppen.html)

Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better! It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading. The usual agenda: - Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes) - ⁠Silent reading (~1 hour) - ⁠Discussion (~30-40 minutes) - ⁠Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like! You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you! No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event: THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmm-lM33Qw0&t=19s PLAN: Details for this event have been confirmed! For THE CHRISTOPHERS, please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and meet in the upstairs lobby between 6:40 and 6:50pm!
