What is a home for you? Is it just a building for you? Or is it an identity for you? does it help to describe yourself better? Is it a country for you where you were born & moved out? Well, answers are different depending on the personal choice but the feeling may be the same for everyone. In this blog, I am going to focus on the The Psychology of Home behind the word “home”. Read this blog to specify your definition & connect with Realtech Nirman if you want to buy your dream home.
1. The true meaning of home-The Psychology of Home:
Home is not about a place, a building or a country. it is all about feeling the most safe in a place. House is all about feeling free enough to express yourself, it is the place where you can be the true version of yourself. A home is a place where our soul lives. So, depending on your comfort zone, it can be your home or any place.
According to many people, a person’s home is part of their self-definition, which is a reason we decorate and modify the immediate surroundings to our taste – displaying their homes as an extension of themselves. As I have mentioned already, home can be your definition as well.
The psychology of home varies on the culture too. For example, if we talk about the culture of South Asian countries, you will get to know that for them home is- “People and the places where they reside are engaged in a continuing set of exchanges; they have determinate, mutual effects upon each other because they are part of a single, interactive system”.
The Human Attachment to Home
On the other hand, for lots of people out there, home is all about the memories & attachments. For them, the its signifies a sense of belonging securely or less so persists into adulthood or until changes in unconscious expectations make room for revised understanding. “family” can refer to people who live together by choice and are not related by legal or blood bonds, at least for many purposes. So, when they get the right bond & feel secure, they call it a home. It is not something biological or inherited for them.
I am going to end this point with Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory shows that human beings can’t live on food or money only. They need physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self-actualization. So, “home” is not having a roof above the head. It is about what a person is feeling under that roof. So, the psychology home includes factors such as greater attention to meeting survival needs for shelter, nutrition, hygiene, safety, work and play, and interpersonal needs for contact, communication, companionship, and belonging. Without these things, a person can not survive or can’t be happy at all.
2. What makes a home, truly a home?
You can build a house easily but building a home is not easy. It takes time, effort & huge understanding. Do you also want to know the factors which make a house, a home? Here are the factors-
A. Comfort & safety:
We all are fighting in this world, we are hustling and getting tired. Your home should be the most safe and comfortable place for you. Now this comfort should be the materialistic comfort & physiological comfort. Remember, materialistic comfort can make your life easy for you whereas the physiological comfort prepares you to enjoy the materialistic comfort. If you are not mentally, or emotionally happy & stable. Trust me, you can’t relax. So, be mindful of that, to make your home psychologically soothing, you can experiment with home colour, curtain colour or the interior of the house. These things help in soothing the mind of psychology of Home.
B. Psychological factors:
Home is the place where we need to be unfiltered. A place where you can say anything you want & want to do anything (obviously without harming others) is our home. Home is the place where no one is going to judge you for anything.
C. Emotional factors:
A home is a place which stays connected with our roots and our mind. For example, if you do the interior of your home according to the culture you have or asper your ancestral home; it will help you to stay connected with your roots forever.
D. Togetherness:
Home is where we live together. Well, I know that many of us stay far away from our parents or loved ones for our career purposes or study. However, wherever we get the chance to be with them or to live with them, the place turns into a home.
