The Invisible Wall
No need to summon the spirit of history's best orators or take a bunch of sedatives to stand up to a tough argument, just mark your boundaries!
β Imagine there's a thick glass wall between you and your abuser. He says something, but you only see him, you do not hear the words, they are absorbed by the water and only bubble up with foam on the surface.
And you, without losing your composure and composure of spirit, do not give in to provocation, do not react to hurtful words. And thanks to this, turn the situation in your favor.
An old and effective technique without the use of unnecessary inventoryππ»

π€ Theories of panic attacks
Popular theories and hypotheses for the development of the disease include:
β«οΈ Catecholamine theory - based on the fact that panic attacks are linked with elevated levels of catecholamines, namely adrenaline. It acts as a stimulant that causes vasoconstriction, rapid heart rate, and stimulation of the nervous system.
β«οΈGenetic hypothesis - people, whose relatives had experienced panic attacks, had a 10% risk of developing the disorder, compared to 2.1% in people in the control group.
β«οΈPsychoanalytic theory - based on the assumption that anxiety and panic attacks are caused by a person's conflict with themselves, with their needs.
β«οΈBehavioral theory - assumes that panic attacks are initially caused by external causes. For example, a fast heartbeat is provoked by a life-threatening situation. Subsequently, the reaction solidifies and occurs when there is no longer a threat.

Stuck in place?
There are days when you can solve all your problems at breakneck speed and fly victoriously toward your goal, and other days when going to the store is nothing but an obstacle!
And I know how to make sure that most of your days are from the first column! Unless, of course, you wanna watch someone else achieve your dreams:
Instill in yourself a sense of urgency!
Think about how important it is for you to get what you want and if you don't start now, you'll never get itπ₯
That's the leverage to keep you from turning into a laid back procrastinatorππ»

If you control yourself, you control the world!
The main thing I learned as a youth is that you choose who you want to be! Any emotion or quality can be eradicated or nurtured, if you really want it!
But now let's talk about emotionsβΊοΈ
In order to get the emotion under control, the moment you start to snap, transform it into the exact opposite.
If something unfortunate and very unpleasant has happened and you want to "burst into thunder," make an effort and smile or laugh.
Think about the good things you can learn from the situation, because that's YOUR baggage!
π₯ Do the same with other negative emotions.

Demonstrate confidence
Arguments are always surprising, but you shouldn't run away from them like a dog with its tail between its legs. The key is to show your interlocutor that you are on equal footing.
Any display of insecurity adds points to your opponent's rightness. In such a case the pressure increases, and the search for compromise is doomed to failure.
β Use real facts and be confident and calm, that way even the most turbulent wind won't blow your nerves away and raise your credibility with dignity.
But don't back your interlocutor into a corner. He may be wrong, but it's unlikely he's ready to admit it now. Give him time. Let his emotions die down.

How to regularly stir a girl's imagination?
Reliability and correctness are good, of course, but how to make sure that your girlfriend doesn't die of boredom next to you?
ππ»An example: Zeus has always had success with women due to his spectacular appearance in the glitter of lightning and tongues of flame.
As for you and me, we're not so lucky, so we'll use other tricks:
β Put phrases in your speeches that will make her believe you're not so simple.
For example: "Such losses our family hasn't suffered since the time of Ivan the Terrible...", "Just before I took part in a six-day bicycle crossing..."
And put more facts on it! The main thing is not to fly to the Moon in your stories. In the pursuit of making an impression, it's best never to lie!

What is a "persuasive stare"?
What if I told you that a steady look is one of your main weapons?
β It's useful in confrontations, conflict situations, or important negotiations.
πScientists have found that two strangers only need 3 to 4 seconds of a steady gaze to feel uncomfortable.
When two opponents meet, an unspoken competition in the persistence of eye contact begins.
Achieve a piercing stare if you want to appear dangerous and confident!
π Look at the bridge of a man's nose. That way he will feel extremely uncomfortable and vulnerable.

If you need to establish contact quickly: fall into the nets that your interlocutor has set up!
Researchers at Stanford University conducted an experiment. It involved people with adequate and low self-esteem. Their task was to talk to strangers. The subject of the conversation was the personality of the subjects.
πΉThe result: people with a positive self-perception expressed a desire to be friends with those who praised them. And participants with low self-esteem preferred critics.
Researchers attribute this to the fact that we always want predictable feedback. But be careful, every rule has its exceptionsππ»

"What do you mean?"
Oh, I recall with sadness the days of my youth just from how much I used to get upset over the petty remarks of those around me! I just didn't know how to respond to themπ
What to do in such situations? Ask your interlocutor to clarify the meaning of the remark:
- "What do you mean?" or "I mean to check if I get you right?".
Don't forget to complete that sentence with some scathing response at the end!
Once your critic feels his game is solved, he's likely to leave you alone.
Consider that you've "caught him red-handed," and that's always embarrassingπ

Girl as an additional source of motivation

"Never underestimate yourself. Everything that others do, you can do"

It's ALWAYS difficult at the beginning of any journey. And if you're constantly looking back at the successes of those, who are close to perfection in what you need to do, you might as well sit down and cry about how bad it is!
But I'll tell you, gaining experience is a realistic task, not a dream of the clouds.
Arm yourself with patience and the right information, and consider that you are already the king of this world!

β Agree with him at the moment and gradually change his point of view with the right questions. Otherwise you'll just make an enemy.

The "broken windows" theory
Or another cautionary tale for you, my friendπ
In the 90's, New York was an extremely unsafe place, as murders and robberies were regularly committed!
And the reason was this: society's disregard for minor offenses (throwing trash in the wrong places, vandalism, drinking in public places, jumping turnstiles at subway entrances) increased the likelihood of people committing similar or more serious unlawful acts.
And as soon as the city began to clean up, clear out and fix windows, the crime rate dropped drastically.
β‘οΈ Why this story? It's about the fact that you have to watch your habits carefully and not even give yourself the right to slack off.
