2022-05-21 19:00:01 Limiting beliefs

Limiting beliefs are attitudes that defy criticism and analysis. Even when we want to go beyond beliefs, our ego starts resisting.

From limiting beliefs it is not easy to get rid of, it is better to do it under the guidance of a psychologist. But you can try to work on them yourself.

To do this, you need to write out the attitudes that are poisoning your life, analyze how they affect you and how true they really are. The next step is to reformulate them so that they sound more constructive and realistic.

And most importantly, take action. New attitudes have to be backed up by actions, otherwise, they will remain theories. After all, it was our actions (or inaction) that once helped the old, harmful patterns to take root. Open / Comment

2022-05-21 15:00:01 How do we deal with negative attitudes?

Try to replace harmful attitudes with new positive ones.

Make a list of your negative attitudes, and opposite them write down helpful ones: the opposite or just with a positive meaning. Instead of "love has to be earned," write "I deserve love."

Practice meditation.

To get rid of internal criticisms, you can practice it regularly in the morning or evening. And if emotions from harmful attitudes get in the way during the day, take a break, meditate and get back to business. Open / Comment

2022-05-20 19:00:01 Art

Art is not entertainment, it is a different way of working the brain. If I were you, I would not neglect all the possibilities of this kind of activity, especially if you are a person, in the general sense, of some "serious" profession.

I put the word "serious" in quotes, because I believe that any profession, if it is treated properly, is considered serious.

It is also excellent to switch to another mode with the help of simulators. Open / Comment

2022-05-20 15:00:01 In case you have very little time to memorize

Instructions on how to effectively memorize a meaningful text in two days.

Use the Ebbinghaus curve and the basic laws of memory.

Read the text while thinking about its contents.

Try to answer the questions at the end. If there are none, ask yourself the questions.

After 30 minutes, try to reconstruct the text from memory. If you can't, you can peek at the material.

Repeat the same after 8 and 24 hours from the first repetition. During the repetition also ask yourself questions about the text. If possible, ask a companion to do this.

It is also worth mentioning memory consolidation. If you want to remember the material well for a long time, a good 8 hours' sleep is essential. Open / Comment

2022-05-20 09:00:01 The cascading wave method is a planning method in which the plan is detailed as you go along.

In other words, the project is not written out from start to finish: only the next steps are planned in detail, and the next steps are outlined in very general terms.

This approach is useful if the initial plan is likely to have to be changed or refined.

We have the "freedom to manoeuvre": if something goes wrong, we can painlessly adjust our actions at any stage of the work.

The main disadvantage of the surge method is the inability to accurately forecast costs.

We cannot determine timelines and calculate the accounting for a project, nor can we plan the consumption of materials and other resources. If this is important to us, it is best not to use the method. Open / Comment

2022-05-19 19:00:01 How not to lose faith in yourself when the whole world is against you

Our mindset.
When you set yourself up to think things are bad, they most likely will be. After all, with this mindset, we begin to see only the bad things, upsetting ourselves even more

Our environment.
All of us, regardless of our will, to a greater or lesser degree depend on those around us. When you are in crisis try to be around positive and open-minded people who can give you optimism.

Our goals.
You will not be able to reach your goals and observe the approval of others if you do not have a clear understanding of what must be done.

Our endurance.
A retreat is the destiny of the weak, and the weak are usually disapproved of. If you are confident that you can do it; confident that you know what you are doing; confident that you need to fight, then you need to stand up for your point of view and your cause. Open / Comment

2022-05-19 15:00:01 4 tips for inspiration

Create an atmosphere around you — hang a chalkboard above your desk, mount cute photos and cards, buy pretty tassel jars.

Leave yourself an impression — write in your diary, take pictures, sketch. Not something brilliant, but just something beautiful or unusual or something that caught your eye. Write down bits and pieces from books and movies. Reread them when you're looking for inspiration.

Clean up your desk so that everything is at your fingertips. This will keep you organized. Find your favorite artists/bloggers/masters and watch their videos, Instagrams, pages when you don't know what you want.

Make lists of interesting things or things to do. These can be books, movies, techniques, DIY videos, tasks, or exercises. Do/watch them when you're bored. Try something new. Open / Comment

If you don't know what and how you will achieve what you want, there is no point in trying any further. How do you achieve rapid growth towards your dreams? Plan for your future while others fantasise or let things slide.

Think about what you are going to do tomorrow, the week, the month and the year. Plan all your actions so that the situation is under control and change is only for the better. Always make short, medium and long term plans.

Plans don't always work, but having them in place makes your chances much better. In any case, you will be able to adjust them in the process. Open / Comment
