How to train your brain to focus on POSITIVE We all tend to register negativity. This is called negative bias - an adaptive feature of the human psyche, which was especially necessary for survival. However, now this task is no longer urgent and negative bias just HURTS us. But you probably know that our brain is EXTREMELY malleable.

To be alone with yourself Why it can be helpful❓ Exceptionally alone with yourself, you can really sort out your thoughts, slow down, take a rest, immerse yourself and hear your emotions. There are many more opportunities to feel your own uniqueness when you are one-on-one with yourself. When we are alone, we hear our BODY MUCH better.

How to stop wasting your life on vain expectations? We all tend to live in expectation of love and acceptance. But one of the stages of growing up is accepting the fact that it is stupid to waste your life seeking approval, understanding and warmth. When you improve your identity, find the strength to know yourself, discover and understand your desires and accept your peculiarities you become YOU - unique and real.

Do you want to change something in your life, but there is no support from your loved ones? Is it worth wasting time and energy constantly seeking approval for your actions and decisions? If this is YOUR dream and the decision is measured a hundred times and weighed two hundred times, WHY do you need the approval of others? After all your life belongs only to you and only you are responsible for your decisions. Not only have you found no support, but you also face angry hissing and unreasonable criticism❓ Stop, listen. Don't protest, don't make excuses. Use this negative attitude as an extra incentive to move forward. The main thing is to believe in your strength❗️

What are personal boundaries? It is our inherent temperament, well-being, mood, established attitudes, beliefs, values. Our choices, decisions, desires and needs. Our self-esteem, virtues, talents, abilities. Our feelings, feelings, thoughts, thoughts, dreams. What does it mean to guard those boundaries? If you are forced to act in a way that is uncharacteristic of you, disagree and point it out. For example, if an introvert is offered a rest in a noisy company, not only will he not rest, but he will overstrain himself and will not be ready for further work. And what does it mean to violate the boundaries of the other? For example, to require a hyperactive child to sit still for forty minutes. Or rushing a slow child, and even punishing him for his sluggishness

What to do if you're full of it? If you restrain yourself, you will accumulate emotions, sooner or later you will explode. If a person for a long time accumulates a small irritation, creating gradually, but steadily internal tension - sooner or later, at the slightest puncture, because of a trifle and nothing, discontent explodes with the force of a snow avalanche. ⠀ Like other emotions, discontent cannot be accumulated, it must be expressed, but do it competently.

Practice for relieving tension ⠀ Facial exercise: ⠀ - mask of surprise: raise your eyebrows high; - anger mask: furrow your eyebrows; - kiss mask: close your lips as if to kiss; - mask of laughter: a "Pinocchio" smile; - discontent mask: press your lips together, press your chin and lower the corners of your mouth; squeeze hard and open your eyes; tense and relax your nose. ⠀ Now sit for a few minutes, enjoy the peace. When you feel like you are slowly floating, you are completely relaxed.
