Most often, any action we take is a habitual pattern of behavior. 🧠The brain protects us from anything new, because familiar means safe for it. And willpower alone makes it difficult to change habitual patterns. How to change it?🤔 🎨Neurographics is a creative effective method to create new neural connections in the brain by removing limitations, changing beliefs and revising the perception of problems. ✅ This opens up new pathways and possibilities for action, becoming the key to the desired reality. 📌Neurographics is used to: 📍 live through feelings, work through anger, fears, anxiety states; 📍 develop a non-standard approach to solving problems in the professional sphere; 📍to establish relationships with relatives, colleagues, friends.

🧐It seems to us that someone who is hardened by adversity from childhood will be better at dealing with it later on. ❌That's not true! According to many research studies, those who had a happy childhood and a prosperous family are better able to cope with hardships. In contrast, those who have already had a bad childhood and had to cope with fear without the help of their parents, react to stress extremely acutely.

🎄Christmas story On Christmas Eve, a family was sitting around the Christmas tree. The father of the family was summarizing the past year. He said that the year passed in a different way than he wanted, and began to list all the failures that had happened during the year ... The wife silently listened to her husband and then said: - Look what marvelous lights on the Christmas tree! - Yes, the Christmas tree is beautiful this year! - If you look carefully, you'll see that among the many bulbs there are a few that have burned out. It seems to me that instead of looking at the passing year with pride and joy, you are looking for a few burned out bulbs, not noticing the many shining lights. ✨ The husband took another look at the tree, at the twinkling lights, hugged his wife and daughter, and mumbled: - It's been a wonderful year!

THE TEMPTATION Or why we eat more in company than we do at home. Our brains can be tempted when those around us are tempted. When we merely imagine what others close to us desire, we adopt their desires and their appetite stimulates our appetite. It's also called the collective unconscious. This is why we eat more in company than we do alone, gamblers raise the stakes when someone makes a score, and we spend more when we go shopping with friends.

📝 If a person doesn't write to you, he just doesn't wanna do it In a bar, at home, at a party with a lot of guests and relatives, in any place and in any condition a person will find an opportunity to send a few words to a familiar number. But only when he really needs and wants to communicate. This is not affected by alcohol, business, weather forecast, employment. Here everything is much simpler. People write when they need. They write when they feel missing. You don't need to be reminded of your existence. ✅ Don't excuse anyone. Appreciate yourself

Treat everything as an experiment 🔶 Getting into the habit of experimentation is a great thing, and here's why. Experimentation teaches us that any task can be approached from different angles. 🔶 By solving the problems we set for our own we learn to think for ourselves. The experiment reminds us that we can't know everything and that we have to learn all the time. Even with our surroundings or children. 🔶 Innovative thinking grows out of the spirit of experimentation, exploration, pushing boundaries.

Focus your energies on making changes in yourself💗 People always instinctively gravitate towards the kind of person who respects and loves themselves. It's very simple: the more and sincerely you love💞 yourself, the more they will love you

How to release anger neatly? 😡 🗣🧋The "screaming cup" technique will help. 📌 Take a cup. You can use a disposable paper cup or make a special cup out of cardboard. 📌 Take a deep breath, hold the cup tightly to your mouth and start screaming. Due to the limited space the sound woun't be loud, so don't restrain yourself and it woun't sound frightening. Repeat the shouting until the anger starts to go away and you feel better. ❗️Important rule: this cup shouldn't be used for any other purpose!

🤔 Have you ever wondered what influences our productivity and creative mood? 💥 Of course it's music! Ordinary notes combined into a melody can do real wonders 🪄 🎵 Music is the real key to improving productivity and unlocking creativity. Here's how it affects us: 🎧 Special Focus Music helps you get in the mood, focus intently and get into a work rhythm. 🎨 Source of Ideas The sounds of music help generate new ideas, stimulate creative thinking and help you deal with creative blocks. 😌🎶 Emotional state Music can support the right emotional state. From positive tunes to calm sounds, it blends with our task. ✅ Incorporate music into your work routine and feel how it elevates efficiency and brings joy to your work. Melodies can create real magic🪄 in our creative and workplace.

🎨 Art therapy✨: getting rid of stress with paints ✅ Negative moods can be easily relieved through art - whether you're an artist or an observer. 👩‍🎨 Art therapy doesn't require artistic talent: all you need are paints, felt-tip pens, pencils and a piece of paper. ✨ Try starting with drawn abstract shapes and then let your imagination run wild. Transfer your problems and worries onto paper, and you will feel how it will become easier, how stress will disappear from your shoulders.

❌ Why you should not buy your child many toys ❌ I was recently pleasantly surprised to learn that the recommendation "Don't buy your child a lot of toys" is no longer only given by psychologists, but also by neurologist. ✅ Scientists recommend not buying children a lot of toys because it can upset their attention span, cause anxiety and overstress the nervous system. An overabundance of toys also makes it difficult to choose and limits a child's development of imagination and creative thinking. Instead, parents can stimulate imagination by allowing children to play with simple objects that they can transform into anything they want. Limiting the choice of toys can help develop concentration, independence, and decision-making skills in a child.

Psychological techniques for every day: ⚜️ When a group of people are overcome by laughter, everyone instinctively casts a glance at the one they find most likable. This, by the way, is a great way to spot office romances 😉 ⚜️ If you ask people for small favours, they start to feel sympathy for you. It's a psychological mechanism: we appreciate more those who have been taken care of at least once. ⚜️ If you want an honest answer to a question and the person is evasive, pause, as a qualified therapist would do. Be silent for a while while continuing to look into the other person's eyes. Usually the person becomes uncomfortable and seeks to fill the pause. ⚜️ Unobtrusive mirroring of others' gestures builds trust. The main thing is not to go overboard. ⚜️ If you feel that your boss is about to give you a scolding at the briefing, sit right next to him. Your close proximity will reduce his level of aggression.

❓Why is it important to take breaks from work? In order to always stay alert and able to focus, it's important to take breaks despite all the urgent matters at hand. According to a recent study, people who took regular breaks showed more enthusiasm and commitment to their work. After a break, there is more energy and motivation to work, and the risk of emotional burnout is reduced. Our brain gets tired after 1.5 hours of hard and strenuous work. So every 1.5 hours you should take a break for 10-15 minutes. And in order to rest well, it is worth remembering that most ideas and solutions to problems come while you are resting.

Manipulation of silence Silence is used not only on stage to heighten the effect, but also in life. If a person has said something but there has been no response, the brain perceives such behavior as dangerous because the situation seems uncertain. The psyche reacts to any uncertainty with irritation, anxiety or anger. The aims of manipulators of silence may be different: 🔸Punishing the victim: conveying to their abuser the unacceptability of rudeness, boorishness, harsh tone. 🔸Damaging the victim's reputation: To make the victim off-balance by silencing him/her to commit compromising acts. 🔸Demonstration of power: The silence is a way to show their importance. Silence distinguishes the manipulator in society by making his/her personality more visible, more significant. When faced with such a situation, it is important to realize that the person you are talking to is trying to manipulate you. ❗️Remember that the best response to any rudeness is silence.

Be friends with the lucky ones. It can be just lucky people, who, every day - it's a lucky ticket... Or optimists, whose life can, and not cloudless, but they have an innate ability not to dramatize the situation, and with humor to take the tripping put here and there. After all, the mental attitude is transmitted through the chain. Rude to you in the morning on the street or in a store - and the day is ruined. But chatting with someone who is always in a good mood, you, on the contrary, will get a charge of positive energy. In a positive mood and all is well at work, and relationships develop... In short, the daily portion of mini-successes will be provided to you. 📌Small joys of life are the ingredients of happiness.

Unfortunately, life isn't just made up of pleasant moments, it's full of black bars. And they can become even more unbearable if we make things difficult. ✅ Listen to yourself, ignore negative thoughts, choose the positive - and life will become much easier and more pleasant.

5. Over-dramatisation 📌The source of constant drama in life can be as much from relationships with toxic people who perpetually ruin our lives as it can be from ourselves. Some of us just get bored without drama and personal 'disasters'. Such people are not used to coping with difficulties and obstacles and prefer to complain about life rather than act. If you recognise someone you know in this portrait, it's best to limit your communication with them. When they overwhelm you with their contrived problems, take a deep breath and decide how to respond to the situation so you don't get sucked into the endless negativity. If that description sounds like you, you might want to work on accepting yourself: see a psychologist, read a suitable book and commit to the decision to change for the better. Be prepared for a long and hard inner work. Once you become more courageous and confident, you can conquer negativity and dramatic attitudes to problems.

4. Shifting responsibility for your life Some of us are used to "gluing" our happiness to another person. This person could be your mother, your best friend or your life partner. But no matter how you look at it, the people around us cannot make us happy. It is a feeling that only comes from within ourselves. When we rely on others for personal happiness, we lose ourselves. We start doing everything we can to please those around us and earn their approval. And this is only exhausting and does absolutely no good. Take a deep breath, listen to yourself and answer the question, how do you want to live your life: so that you believe in yourself and value yourself, or so that your value depends on the opinion of others, most often outsiders?

3. Wanting to be in control We are all afraid of something: of failure, of dying or losing loved ones. Often we use total control to "bury" our fears deeper and not face them. If you feel that you are making certain decisions because of a craving for control, stop. Such a trait is a sign that one is living in fear and is afraid to let life take its course. 📌You need to try to accept your worries and realise that there are things that will always be out of our control. When you realise that the meaning of life is to deal with difficulties as they arise, you will be much happier 🤗

2. Constant restlessness Being emotional is part of human nature. We get angry, we get happy, we get stressed, and all these feelings make us human. However, emotions and worries do not always have a positive effect on our behaviour and mental wellbeing. For example, constant anxiety. It steals our energy. And the more we worry, the more difficult our lives seem. Unfortunately, not all of us think the glass is half-full. For many, a positive outlook on the world requires a serious effort on our part and constant training. There are a few things that help us cope with anxiety: 🌱breathing exercises; 🌱meditation; 🌱cardio exercise; 🌱journaling; 🌱yoga; 🌱listening to music; 🌱socialising with friends.
