There is a simple psychology for all possible aspects of everyday life, there are simple psychologies about the habitual or exceptional or dreamy daily doings of oneself and of other people, and in any whatsoever aspect of the professional world, …
Thus people can shallowly or more deeply reflectively ever get themselves engaged in the application or unfolding of some psychological thinking; for example, they can try to more clearly detect (“read” or “figure out”) the motives and workings of somebody else’s behaviour, of other people’s behaviour; they can in a more or less enhanced or vigilant way listen and see and interpret the motives of what is going on or may be going on about themselves, and also especially in their own “heart”, in their own “soul”;
they can start and more diligently reflect upon their various needs, upon the needs of themselves and of others, upon their more ardent impulses, upon their “crazes”, upon the examples of crazes and of creeds and of fashions that they see or hear about in the world, why they do need this, and why they do need that, why do they need to do this, and why would they need to do that.
Thus, more actively applying psychology to “everyday life” would mean a more regular and more reflective or thoughtful engagement with the workings and with the effects of the psyche, and with the various “feels” or outputs through the senses, with the workings and with the effects of one’s own psyche, with the detectable and even predictable (or unpredictable!) workings/doings or consequences of other people’s psyche, of pets or of ferocious animals’ psyche.
People can’t. People who study basic principles and attempt to learn can. The effect of a handshake, a yes nod while talking to others, a salesman who hands you an item to look at and then pulls it away again. A policeman who has been trained to intimidate with his voice. Teachers and parents who learn natural, logical and arbitrary consequences. Advertising and targeting specific viewer populations.
The list is endless.
Self actualization and Self realization. I would consider these two principles extremely important. Its the whole idea of not taking people/things for granted, realizing we don’t have all the time in the world and that death is unpredictable. Living life to the fullest and best of our capabilities and being grateful… we never seem to be satisfied with what we have.
Psychology isn’t just a bunch of theories, its the understanding of behaviour itself. Its incredible but its never good enough until we decide to take a stand, change our lives for the better and apply these principles to our lives. Its a drastic change but its definitely for the better. You as an individual, will stand out from the rest.
Determining whether or not to lend money to your new friend.
Reading a person’s body language to evaluate truthfulness.
Deciding the best way to deal with a disgruntled employee.
Creating best possible discipline for young children to achieve desired results w/o causing emotional damage.
Evaluating your own thoughts, thought process and behaviors.
It would have helped if you provided a circumstance of importance. For eg. in relationships you can reward or dissaprove (discourage) otherss behaiour towards you if you know how.

All human behavior is determined by the individual psychology of each individual.
