The 3 triggers of procrastination, and what to do about them

1. The task is difficult.

You can postpone completing a difficult task as long as you break it down into smaller items, you will not succeed.

But when you do, it will change from a large and unsolvable to several less dangerous tasks that you will already be able to cope with.

2. A Boring Task

Many people's lives are set up in such a way that they mostly do boring, uninteresting tasks. And they literally force themselves to do it every time.

You have to teach yourself to make the process enjoyable, at least in part. Put on your favorite music, change the environment, make or buy yourself a coffee.

3. Don't contain rewards.

Why try to do something if you won't get any reward for it? There are several solutions here, and they lie everywhere a little at a time.

Try to dilute that with processes that make you feel good. And as for rewards - reward yourself for every point accomplished.

3 psychological tricks for every day

- Reception 10 minutes: for the procrastinator

It helps to quickly agree with yourself when you need to start doing something and don't want to. Say to yourself, "I'll take ten minutes... (read an English textbook)." Chances are that by the end of the given period you'll get into it, and things will get easier from there.

- The appraising gaze: disarm the aggressor

If you feel someone's eyes on you, look into their eyes for a few seconds, then look at their feet, then back to their eyes. Then look away. The opponent sees this as a nonverbal response: I appreciate you and I don't see you as a threat.

- Suffering collateral: avoiding conflict

If someone needs to point out a mistake, but wants to do so without an accusatory tone, try using the passive voice rather than the active verb. For example: "You did not complete this task" replace it with "This task was not completed.

If your child has a strong and strong-willed character, it is important to understand that he will not always agree with your point of view. This is not necessarily a bad thing.

1. Remember the age
2. Consider the order of birth
Be honest and fair.

8. Create orderliness

How do you get out of a child's position?

▫️Take responsibility
Stop thinking that someone will make decisions for you. Decide what you need and want, even in the little things.

▫️ Set boundaries.
Don't try to please or be comfortable with anyone. If you're given unsolicited advice, stand up for boundaries and don't allow people to intrude on your space.

▫️Take the clamps off.
Shyness and excessive modesty do not embellish, but only prevent you from communicating in a position of equals. Open up to people and the world, show your strong qualities and finally stop being shy about them.

Body Language. Part 1.

Few people think about it, but 93% of our communication is nonverbal. The lion's share of that percentage is devoted to body language. Body language is very well read by psychologists in consultations to better understand their clients.

Here are some hidden gestures to help you read a person's behavior.

▪️Crossing arms and legs
This closed posture means that the person is not taking your point of view or is closed to new ideas.

▪️The folding of the arms into a house.
The gesture symbolizes sincerity and honesty. People usually use this gesture when they are sure of what they are saying.

▪️Head nods
Most often, people often nod when they are worried or don't understand what you are saying. They are trying to make sense of what you are saying.

▪️The running look.
Means the person wants to keep something from you or is feeling guilty about something they've done.

🎨Ar-brute: an art that originated in a psychiatrist's office

In French, art brut is rough, raw art. Some call it a budget parody of contemporary art, some call it the work of madmen, but researchers and psychologists are convinced that art brut is the most honest art of all.

No sleep? Four deadly dangers of working at night have been named

- Increased blood pressure
Being awake at night disrupts the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for proper rest. At the same time, the autonomic nervous system is activated. And the opposition of these parties provokes disorders of the cardiovascular rhythm.

- Obesity
This is a consequence of the increase in cholesterol in the blood, a failure in the regulation of appetite due to incorrect production of melatonin.

- Diabetes
Blood sugar levels rise at night, and it is poorly absorbed by the cells. First, "owls" have impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), and then diabetes develops.

- Cancer
Working at night increases the risk of developing cancer. The body is less able to produce melatonin, a natural antioxidant that inhibits uncontrolled cell growth.
How to learn to understand each other better

1. Try to look at everything from your partner's point of view and understand why they feel the way they do, instead of defending their opinions at all costs.

2. Avoid criticism, defensiveness, contempt and withdrawal. These four horsemen of the apocalypse are unlikely to promote understanding.

3. Don't doubt your partner; don't think he or she wants to hurt you. Chances are, he has no secret intentions.

4. Go along if your partner is trying to reconcile.

5. Remember: you are not opponents, but a team. You have no goal to beat each other, no goal to prove the other wrong. You are both going in the same direction, and the point of your argument is to clarify the situation and agree.

6. Accept what just won't happen. Especially if your partner is not going to follow these rules.

7. Repeat to yourself as you begin to get angry: "I want to understand you and help you understand me. That's what our main goal is."
What will help you overcome procrastination?

Eat the elephant in pieces.
Divide a big task into several smaller ones.

Give yourself time.
Do the easiest and least energy-consuming tasks first, so your brain will practice and be ready to take on more serious tasks.

Eliminate distractions
Sometimes a change of scenery, visiting a co-working space or sitting in a cafe with your laptop, can be helpful.

Motivate yourself
Immediately after completing tasks, promise yourself something nice. For example, a day where you will only rest or visit your favorite places.

"Real men don't cry."

By constantly suppressing emotions, you form a sense of resistance. So imperceptibly unexpressed, hidden deep emotions are transformed: aggression into permissiveness, fear into indifference, hopelessness into detachment.
Negativity literally accumulates in your body, and at one moment the emotions become more than you are - there is a breakdown.

Recipe for a cure for resilience:
1. Feel your emotion.
2. Give it a name.
3. Fix it on paper.

Fear or opportunity?

Fears are the body's adequate reaction to something new, to something that once caused unpleasant consequences, or to something that directly or indirectly threatens one's life.

But there are fears that simply must be overcome. For example, if you have an idea, but to implement it, you do not have the courage, and therefore and perseverance.

It is behind such fears that lies your invaluable potential. The body never generates ideas that it doesn't have the resources to implement. Our thoughts are not random. Think of the opportunities that will open up before you after you overcome your fear. Have you imagined it? Now act!

These are things smart people don't do-never.

- Smart people don't allow themselves to be spoiled.
A smart person does not take insults personally. They evaluate themselves objectively and laugh in the face of unjust criticism.

- Smart people do not forget grievances.
Smart people do not live with revenge and bitterness in their hearts. No, they let go of unpleasant emotions, but they do not forget the abusers. They just change their attitude towards the person, stop trusting him.

- Smart people do not lose their heads.
A stupid and weak person can succumb to emotions and in a fit of anger go to clarify relations. Very often such showdowns end sadly. A smart person tries to keep his sanity in all situations.

Emotional coping: how to deal with anxiety without harming yourself or others

When dealing with emotions, we have two basic options: to express them (violently or not) or to suppress them. The second is the most popular, because it does not require much effort, but it saves our time and image in the eyes of others.

What should we do if we can't or aren't allowed to react to our emotions in the moment, if we have to hold them back?

1. Respond to them later.
Something that puts the body to work will help: sports, dance, massage or a body-oriented psychologist.

2. go to a psychologist
And work with him on the question of why life's difficulties are causing you such a heated emotional reaction that your body needs to respond.

3. eliminate the provocateurs of your emotions.
You need to put out the fire of unresponsive emotions-then your body has additional resources to spare. All incomplete cycles of stimulus-cognitive reaction-body response need to be ended.
