5 weird things we do but never admit to.

1. We constantly compare ourselves to others.
“I am a complete loser”, “I am the coolest, and the rest are weaklings” - both of these statements are irrational and harm us. In the depths of our souls, each of us considers himself either a genius or a nonentity.

2. We often ask ourselves: “Is this the meaning of life?”
We feel that we are capable of more, but we never begin to do anything.

3. Too vain
When we pass by a mirror or shop window, we begin to preen. Humans are vain creatures and are simply obsessed with their appearance. Unfortunately, this behavior is shaped by the culture we live in.

4. We are in the wrong place
You feel that you are ready for more, at work you look at the screen, checking every minute of the social network. Even if you haven't done anything big yet, that's no reason to be upset. Don't waste time!

5. We overestimate ourselves.
Don't compare yourself to others - be yourself.

Your own stranger: why the husband does not take my side in conflicts with others
Psychologist Olga Arkhipova explains.

• Other opinion
Perhaps the spouse does not share your opinion on the subject of the dispute - he simply thinks differently. That is, to support your opinion means to go against your own.

• Significant figure
The position of the one with whom you are arguing has more significance for a man. For example, it may be a more status person, whose opinion your husband listens to.

• Personal characteristics of the spouse
There are people who by all means avoid disputes, aggravation of relations in any situation. It may well be that, in essence, the husband agrees with you, but the methods of defending your opinion that you use are not suitable for him and he would prefer to “smooth the corners”.

• Bad relationships in a couple
When any occasion to express an opinion different from yours is perceived by the spouse as a good opportunity to point you to "your place." The situation can be improved through direct dialogue and a joint appeal to a family psychologist.

How to rethink stress?🌿

Changing our attitude towards stress can actually help us improve our well-being, including mental health, as well as help us deal better with stressful situations in the future.

• Visualize a stressful situation and how you will react to it. For example, imagine that you need to give a presentation at work.

• Think of any symptoms of stress you may be experiencing, such as a racing heart.

• Welcome these feelings, don't ignore them, and realize that they are meant to help you focus and increase your energy.

• Finally, imagine that you are using this response to move forward under pressure. It may seem difficult at first, but with practice, we can all learn how to use visualization to reframe stress.

How Society Pushes Us into Abusive Relationships

The word "abuse" is increasingly appearing on the pages of print and online publications. But what it is and why abusive relationships are dangerous is still not understood by everyone.
Some even say that this is nothing more than marketing (books with the term “abuse” in the title break all sales records, and online courses for victims of abuse are replicated by millions of launches).

Together with a clinical psychologist, we analyze the most important aspects of this topic in the material:

• What is an abusive relationship
• Abuse in cinema and literature
• "Abuse is fashion"
• An adult abuser is a traumatized child
• Sources of institutionalized abuse

12 psychological tricks that will help in communication

If the interlocutor's answer did not suit you - for example, he did not say something, expressed himself unclearly, or lied - you do not need to ask again. Instead, just silently and carefully look into his eyes - this technique simply will not leave him a chance, and he will be forced to continue his thought.

If someone is yelling at you, make an effort and remain completely calm, remaining unperturbed. The first reaction of the screamer is anger, which your behavior will only provoke, but it will subside very quickly, and reaction number two will begin - guilt for your defiant and aggressive behavior. Most likely, it is the screaming one who will ask for forgiveness.

If you know that you will hear criticism from a person (they will make comments or scold), take courage and try to sit or stand next to him - in this case, he will soften, and the negative will come from him many times less than if you were on distance.

Eating in a person is associated with calmness and security, because we do it most often at home, in our native walls. That is why, if you are very worried, chew gum: this will deceive the brain, creating the impression of what you are eating, which means it will make you feel more confident and calm.

An old and tried and true method used by many students in the exam is to imagine that the teacher is your good and close friend, then it will be much easier to answer, and you will feel calmer. This technique works in other situations as well. For example, it can be used before an important interview.

If everyone in the company starts laughing at once, then everyone, at the level of instinct, looks at the one who is most attractive to him, with whom he would like to become closer. Therefore, catch glances after a successful joke - you will learn a lot of new things.

When meeting a person, express a little more joy in his attitude: for example, smile sincerely or try to pronounce his name softly and warmly, then over time you will begin to relate to him much better, and the joy of meeting will be sincere.

If you want to get the attention of someone you like, stare at an object directly behind their shoulders. As soon as you realize that you have caught the eye of the object of sympathy on yourself, quickly look into his eyes and smile a little - it works flawlessly.

In fact, we can control our stress: when you are very worried, feel how you began to breathe deeper, how your heart began to beat faster, and try to force yourself to breathe more calmly and balance the beat. We really can do it.

To win over a person at the first meeting and get his sympathy, simply determine his eye color at the time of meeting: eye contact is conducive to you.

When setting any requirements or conditions, initially raise the bar. Most likely, the person will not agree to this and refuse. But on the other hand, he will 100% agree to the real conditions that you offer later: people tend to give you less if they denied you something more before that.

People are drawn to those who are confident in themselves and their actions, so just show that you know exactly what you're talking about (even if you don't really).
