Sports and vitamins
Here are your main helpers not only in building a healthy body, but also in tempering your inner core, and even your brainπ§ β¨
Exercise increases blood flow and protein production, which improves gray matter function. Even a regular exercise or a walk in the fresh air can have a beneficial effect on mental activity.
Try to give it at least 20 minutes every day. That's one.
Two, watch your diet. Our brains need nutrients, so it's necessary to consume them daily.
It is better to get minerals and vitamins from food, as they have more benefits than man-made pills. Include plant foods, fruits and vegetables in your diet.
These two steps will kill three birds with one stone:
β you'll improve your physical fitness.
β improve your stamina, thus increasing your self-discipline
β and improve your intelligence.
And you'll be happy, champπ

Brutality is not a vice
Just a huge plus in the eyes of the girls! Someone from the female sex even told me that brutal men smell like sex! That's how girls are!
So, a picture comes immediately to mind - leather jacket, glasses and shabby hair. But that's not itπ«
You can walk at least in a sweater with deer (better not:) here it's your actions and character that's important!
And one of the indicators of your brutality is showing loyalty to principles. Even the most delusional. Any!
Like, you don't sleep with women twice - and don't back down from that! She'll try to check it out and see if she's special. And you already drag and the third and tenth time, the main thing - not twiceπ
Remember: any beauty is by nature a terrible provocateur. Your iron stubbornness will only emphasize your brutalityπ

Count in your mind to count your future victories
It's easy to speed up your brain to the speed of light - just put away the "Calculator" app!
It's mathematical calculations that develop your memory and even help you think more logicallyπ§
β You can count the total amount of purchases in the store by yourself without waiting for the cashier's verdictππ»
β In your spare time, play number games like Sudoku or nonograms. More games like "take away pairs" are also suitable, because the main skill involved will be your memory, champ.

Eliminate Time Eaters
These habits are hard to weed out, and they do gobble up lots of time. That's why it's important to make a schedule for your time stealers to get them under control.
β The good thing about this method is that gradually the time eaters will be replaced by new, useful habits, and you'll start to get more done.
And you won't get frustrated with them, because you haven't just eliminated them, you've set aside a separate time for them!
Bonus, when you see how much your life has changed without these time eaters, you won't wanna go back to them!

"You won't make it"
"What do you need?" or "Do something normal already."
ππ» These were the three phrases I was told by my parents, who thought my psychology studies were nonsense and insisted on going to law school. I think it's a trivial story of different views of the future of a child and parents.
βοΈNO! I didn't break down and I won't let you either! Even if you ever hear something like this, don't take it personally! At all!
Only you know your strengths and weaknesses. Only you can be sure of your strengths.
Do not dance to someone else's tune and act only on the basis of your own desires, so motivation and interest in your work will appear, and this is a guarantee of achieving the highest skill in your profession.
Bend your line and rub everybody's nose in it, champπ

Confidence is...
Confidence is not about winning, it's about accepting yourselfπ
Think of at least one confident and successful man and you'll immediately know what I mean!
He's clearly aware of his strengths and weaknesses and calmly jokes about his shortcomings, instead of beating himself up and looking like a hunted mouse!
ππ»Hence the conclusion: confident person = well-informed and accepting of all his sides, personality.
Plus it's important to ALWAYS act from a position of self-love:
π« I'm so fat and ugly, I need to go to the gym immediately.
β I'm a chubby girl, now I'll go to the gym and everything will be fixed, because I'll try there.
It is this approach that will provide you with a long and regular growth over yourself without breakdowns and depressionπ

Making mistakes is imperative
Only as a result of "failure" do we form new neural connections and move forward.
I immediately think of a child who makes mistakes hundreds of times before he takes his first steps.
What should we do so that we are not afraid of the fear of "what if we fail"?
First, try to re-experience the emotions that you experienced as a result of the mistake. Feelings of shame, guilt, despair - that's what I mean.
How was it? Nothing catastrophic happened? Of course not.
You move on with your life, and I'm sure you'll do well in what you're doing.

How to bring emotions back to normal?
In the past, when I experienced "emotional storms," I had an urgent urge to do something, to release all the tension. It was in this state that I did rash things.
In order to bring my emotions back to normal, I learned how to make a distraction.
During a scandal, in order to relieve my growing anger, I discreetly pinch myself painfully. My body automatically reduces the heat of the aggression and directs the energy to the painful point.
I also do a lot of breathing exercises. I sit down comfortably and relax as much as possible. I take a deep breath in through my nose and slowly exhale through my mouth.
Ten breaths are enough for me to relieve the peak of tension.

Do not even try to get rid of your irritation and negativity
Yeah, you're not imagining it.
Then what should you do? That's right, you have to listen to your negative emotions. That's what will give you the answers to all your questions.
Your goal is NOT to suppress your inner voice, but to make your feelings contain less irritability and more satisfaction.
So you need to interact with your negative state.
Imagine this: the weather outside is disgusting, it's cold, and it's snowing wet. Yes, any person subconsciously begins to feel sadness and melancholy.
But you can do something else: buy a warm jacket or trendy shoes (thereby raising your mood); retire to a cafe with a loved one; wrap a warm blanket at home and watch soap operas all evening.

How to connect with a stranger
Stop being a lonely branch of lilacs when there are millions of people you can and should connect with!
Learning how to make friends and connect with people is an important skill that needs to be developed!
And for that, start using opening phrasesπ¬
You've already said hello to a person and exchanged handshakes with them. And then... total silence? Start a casual conversation to turn this stranger from a stranger into a friend.
β Look around and find something to make conversation about. Any phrase about what's going on around here will be a good introduction to casual conversation:
- "This is the new chairman of the PTA, isn't it?"
- "Best speech I've ever heard!"
- "And the title of the slowest elevator in the world goes to...ours!"
βοΈ Notice that all statements are impersonal. That's the point: with topics like this, you can easily make a connection.

Anti-phrases in conflict
And here you have an angry opponent who, now and then, will start throwing lightning bolts or something more material and heavy. What to do?
The phrases "Don't be offended", "I have nothing against you personally", "Everything will be all right" seem to be encouraging, but in fact they devalue the feelings of the interlocutor, and this pushes your interlocutor to break off any communication with you.
It's better to say, "I see why you're hurt," or "That's probably the last thing you want to hear".
That way you'll quickly calm the person you're talking to and stay on good termsπ

The most hazardous mistake
is waiting for someone's approval, my friend!
If you don't wish some manipulator pulling your strings, know your worth. That way you won't look pathetic in the eyes of othersπ
If your self-esteem is bouncing up and down from praise or lack thereof, you will NEVER reach the heights!
Learn to depend only on your own approvalπ
You are your own support! By refusing to depend on other people's praise, try to support yourself.
β Start writing down a list of your accomplishments throughout the day in a diary or on your phone. It doesn't matter how big they are, whether someone other than you noted them or not. Maybe you held up a door on the subway or patiently explained a topic to a colleague twice.
Train yourself to keep such a list, revisit it before you go to bed, and you'll take a big step toward independence and self approval.
You have your own opinion and it carries weight!

Make communication your weapon of choice
And no need to make a deal with the devil to please others, you just have to learn one little trickππ»
βͺοΈThe main mistake in dialogue is not to give your interlocutor a lead for further conversation! So if you want to blurt out a hottie or partner in a one-two punch, don't answer one-sentence!
Example:
She: Do you come here often?
Him: No.
So you've got your conversation partner looking for the opening phrase again to start the conversation. And this will last exactly as long as you both have patience.
I used to make that mistake a lot myself, but then I eliminated responses like "yes, no, uh-huh" and now the awkward pauses are gone!
π¬Forget "yes" or "no," even if the question involves a one-word answer. Add a simple phrase to give your interlocutor food for thought, encouragement, and an incentive to keep the conversation going: "No, I don't think so"; "Yes, I saw it"; "Yes, thank you"; "No, I didn't park here."

It often happens that some brilliant idea comes into your head, and if you don't write it down in time you will never come back to it in the future!
I always rely on my memory, which fails exactly when I try to remember the ideaπ«
Don't repeat my mistakes: train yourself to write down such thoughts, it only takes you a minuteπ‘
β This will save you a lot of time and save you hours of breaking your head!

Beware of abundance of choices
As strange as it may sound, the wider the choice, the harder it is for the brain to make it and the less valid the result of the choice. π§
Moreover, if the choice is too wide, our brain, for some unknown reason, begins to see it as a threat and resists the need to choose.
ππ»If you need to make a choice - any choice - try to keep the number of choices you choose between to no more than 3-4. In this case your brain will make the most adequate decision.

Sympathy comes with a handshake
Now let's talk about the first body contact with your interlocutor!
You probably know the general rules of a firm handshake: moderately strong, not too long, about 3 seconds.
And yet, it turns out that there's an additional factor!
πScientists have found that people with warm hands evoke trust and sympathy in others!
Suggestions are that it goes back to our ancestors, who warmed themselves against each other, so the warmth of another's body and causes us pleasant feelings. But who knows:)
