One spring day, a grandson and his grandfather were pulling weeds in the garden. Suddenly the child asked:

"Grandpa, why do the weeds that we didn't plant grow so well, and what we plant needs our attention, care and labor?"

"Here, grandchild, thanks to your observation, you have made an important discovery for yourself: everything valuable and meaningful to man, requires a lot of effort from him, and the harmful and unnecessary grows by itself." Открыть/Комментировать

2022-04-06 17:00:03 Rational and emotional brains

The rational brain and emotional brain have different motivational systems.

The former is determined to plan and execute plans, the latter seeks to avoid pain and ensure safety.

The secret to success is to reconcile these different intentions and get them to work in concert. If we imagine how great we will feel when we achieve a goal, the emotional brain will tune in to achieve it.

Equally important is to train the rational brain to listen to our emotions; they can serve as a compass to help it choose a path, not a goal.

External circumstances are the most common obstacles to achieving a goal. This is only the first level of obstacles.

More often, it is the obstacles we create for ourselves. By learning to recognize when our emotional brain is controlling us (when we feel fear), we can transfer responsibility to more advanced areas of the brain. And we will be able to achieve our goals. Открыть/Комментировать

You become calmer and more peaceful when you create.

Art therapy is relaxing and helps you get rid of anxiety and the constant 'noise' in your head.

You feel happier.

The process of Art Therapy harmonises your mental state and encourages you to experience positive emotions, a feeling of happiness. With constant practice, self-esteem and self-respect are increased.

Hold on to each other more tightly! Hugging your loved ones is literally and figuratively a balm for your heart.

Even a twenty-second "hug session" significantly reduces the damage that stress does to the cardiovascular system and the entire body.

In an experiment conducted at the University of North Carolina, curious data was obtained. They found that people who did not hug or hold hands with their lovers before talking about an event that caused negative emotions, anger and tension had their heart rate jumped by as much as 10 points.
And those who had contact with their partner felt much better and calmer.

Remember to hug each other and take care of your significant other. A couple who walk through life holding hands has fewer psychological problems. Открыть/Комментировать

2022-04-05 17:00:03 How can you stop being shy?

Shyness is a normal reaction to unfamiliar surroundings.

There's nothing wrong with it and it's important to understand:

Everyone is shy
Each of us has our own 'comfort zone' and it is normal to feel insecure about stepping out of it. In this case, we have to learn to adapt to different situations.

All fears are in our heads.
Shyness is psychology. Do the things that seem awkward more often.

Self-esteem
Success depends on confidence, and low self-esteem makes us weaker.

Think about the future
An uncomfortable action is in front of us and the question is "to do it or not?"
Think about what you could lose by not doing it. Is it worth it? If it is so, put your fears aside, pull yourself together and take action... Открыть/Комментировать

2022-04-04 19:00:19 Love your enemies

Loving a friend is easy. Most of the time, the friend agrees with you and supports you. Loving him is not difficult.

But your enemy does not agree with you. He believes that you are wrong because he thinks he is above you, worthy of you and is trying to humiliate you, to destroy you as a person. He sees your weaknesses and will do everything he can to exploit them. If you have a weakness, you can be sure he knows about it.

Therefore he is your best teacher! The Enemy shines a light on the things you dislike most about yourself. He shows exactly where your fears and insecurities lurk.

Learn to accept your enemies as they are! By learning to accept them as they are you will show your willingness to look into all the dark corners of your subconscious.

If you listen to what the enemy says you will know exactly what must be corrected in you, you will know all your weaknesses.

Only someone who confronts you like this can be such a good teacher Открыть/Комментировать
