2023-04-25 21:00:42 Each of us has at least a couple of acquaintances who could easily be called nerds. What do you think this kind of nerdiness is usually associated with?

The top five nerdy activities according to a University of Essex study are:
- data analysis;
- accounting;
- taxation/insurance;
- banking;
- cleaning (cleaning).

Also "unpopular," according to the data obtained, are people who are into observing animals, mathematics, religion, spending time watching TV, or sleeping a lot.

As the researchers emphasize, the purpose of the study is not to select categories of citizens for jokes or disdain, but to discover which professions and personal traits are stigmatized, even if one is engaged in a truly useful activity. What to do about such stigma is another question.

2023-04-25 19:06:21 One day my wife and I were vacationing by the sea…

One day it wasn't very nice, so we decided to go to the market. It was an hour and a half drive (the market was outside the city).
The people on the bus were like sprat in a tomato, no mood at all. But after about 20 minutes I realized that something... Read... Open / Comment

When we are stressed, we have a feeling of being overwhelmed and hopeless. Therefore, even if a person has other possibilities in reality, he/she does not notice them or denies them. To get out of the state you describe, it is important to take the following steps:

Become aware of how you want to live

This is a very important moment. It is the intention and understanding of where you are going that can pick up the right paths and tools for you.

Believe in yourself and start taking care of yourself

It's important to start repairing yourself if only by getting enough sleep, doing daily auto-training (just 10 minutes works for recovery like two hours of sleep), or adding whatever else your body needs most right now.

Realize that there is more to your future than just what makes you feel hopeless...

...but also what you like. What you work and live for in the first place.

2023-04-25 10:01:52 We tell you five proven practices for dealing with stress.

1. Living on a schedule
Wakefulness, sleep, appetite, hormone production, and digestive activity depend on the cyclical change of day and night.

2. Physical exertion.
We feel tension and pain due to lack of muscle tone and that needs to change. Now is a good time to go dancing or yoga, take up running or tennis.

3. Proper nutrition and vitamins
To withstand stress, the body needs a reserve to mobilize resources. That's why it's so important to eat right and get enough vitamins every day.

4. Detox
Supporting the body's natural purification, reviewing the principles of nutrition, normalizing the water balance helps the body to get in the right frame of mind.

5. Solitude
It's important to find a place where you feel at ease. Get away. Change of scenery. Turn to yourself, understand what you really want, tune into a positive mood, to radiate confidence and energize others with positive energy.

2023-04-24 21:00:36 What to do if I'm anxious right now

Tension
Find the part of your body where it responds to the uncomfortable feeling. Tense the muscles and hold the tension in that area for a few seconds. Return to the starting state. Repeat the exercise 5-6 times, holding the emotion.
The exercise may take several minutes, but it is important not to stop until you feel like relaxing.

Relaxation
As with the first technique, find the area of the body where the emotion is felt. Imagine that with each inhalation, air comes in through that area and with each exhalation it comes out. You can also imagine that with each breathing cycle this area is cleared, that the discomfort is leaving your body and soon there will be no trace of it.

Distancing
If you are seized by unexpected anxiety, and you feel its burden right now, then imagine that it is not you who is anxious, but someone else. For example, it could be the character in the movie you were watching.

2023-04-24 16:34:03 "The guy thinks I'm inattentive and ungrateful"-how do you respond to things like that?

It happens that young people in a couple have different ideas about what is going on. You may feel that you are expressing gratitude, but he may not perceive it exactly in the format in which you present it.

Therefore, direct communication is extremely important: it is worth talking about everything in as much detail as possible, so that there are no misunderstandings.

As a rule, we show warmth and care in our own way, but the partner simply may not understand our language of love.

In this case, it makes sense to directly inform the young man about your condition, so he understands the reason for your behavior. And then he will have less reason to be offended and disappointed.

2023-04-24 10:00:32 Whether long or short: how long does love live?

Relationships in any couple go through five successive stages, according to American psychologists Allyn Bader and Peter Pearson, as told in the book "In Search of the Mythical Couple.

1. Merging
We feel we are one, we strive to please each other, to emphasize the similarities and not notice the differences.

2. Differentiation
We emerge from symbiosis and begin to notice differences, reestablish boundaries and look at each other more critically.

3. research
We explore our ability to "not be together": we spend our vacations apart, we go out with friends more often.

4. Convergence
Having strengthened our autonomy, we turn to each other again and re-establish relationships.

5. Cooperation and freedom.
We have a strong bond, we have reconciled our ideal perceptions with reality, and we are both confident of mutual love.

2023-04-23 21:00:52 No one would argue that quitting smoking is a challenge.
To cope with addiction, you have to overcome the resistance of your own mind.

Tips to help you stay on track.

1. Don't set records.
The best effect is to gradually reduce the number of cigarettes per day.

2. Stick to a clear plan
Set yourself interim goals.

3. meditate.
Research shows that meditation increases activity in areas of the brain associated with self-control.

4. Get more sleep.
Sleep problems lead to loss of self-control, impulsivity, and inattention.

5. Exercise
Even 15-20 minutes of exercise can reduce cravings for a cigarette. They increase concentration and provide an additional source of joy.

6. Avoid high workloads
Try to avoid stress and overwork for at least the first week.

7. Find Like-Minded People
Find those who will support you and seek their support.
