2022-03-31 15:04:37 When you start to change, you will feel resistance from other people

There will be a feeling that the more you try to move towards what you want, the more resistance you feel on yourself. It is ok.

That's because you yourself are part of the comfort zone for other people. You're being called somewhere, and you're busy. They buy sweets, and you're on a diet. They offer you a drink, but you refuse.

With such actions, you can touch their comfort zone. To bring a certain chaos and uncertainty into the lives of others. Therefore, be prepared for the fact that people will resist your changes. Be sure to pay attention to such moments, try to track them and prevent attempts to stop your changes in time.

There will be many obstacles on your way to becoming the best version of yourself, it's not an easy path
, but it's worth it.

Only actions and results will move you forward.

You can plan, think, study as much as you want, but you will move forward only in one case — if you act.

Therefore, hang a reminder in a prominent place in the form of a question —
DOES WHAT I'M DOING NOW MOVE ME FORWARD OR NOT?

2022-03-29 18:00:14 Study people

Each person has their own psychological and emotional traits, so there is no single pattern of actions that will help you manipulate everyone. Before you try to control a person and control him, study his character, find out what your actions will help to persuade a person to the actions you need.

For example, some people are extremely susceptible to emotions. They may cry in the cinema, sincerely empathize with other people's troubles, etc. To manipulate such people, you need to vent your own emotions, forcing them to empathize with you until you teach what you need. If a person is very rational, he does not give in to emotions, requires logic in actions and is constantly looking for evidence, a completely different approach is needed to him.

In this case, your ability to calmly and argumentatively convince a person of your rightness comes to the fore, emotions will be completely superfluous here.

2022-03-29 16:29:41 The Law of Cause and Effect

Perhaps one of the most interesting and important mental laws of our existence. The law of "cause and effect" states that every consequence in our life has a cause. There are specific reasons for success and failure, for health and illness, happiness and unhappiness.

Determine what works in your life and do it more, determine what does not work and do it less.

The most important application of this law is that thoughts are the causes, and conditions and circumstances are the consequences of these thoughts.

2022-03-28 11:00:09 The most effective compliment

The most effective compliment is a compliment against the background of an anti-compliment to yourself. For the extension from below becomes more tangible if, by elevating another, we additionally pay attention to our failure.

For example, one says to the other:

"How do you manage to talk to the boss? I tried to persuade him for an hour yesterday, and everything was to no avail, and you solved the same question in five minutes."

A good compliment to a colleague against the background of an anti-compliment to yourself.

2022-03-27 20:16:44 Why Discipline is better than Motivation

If you are inspired by motivational videos, trainings and books, but it does not change anything in your life or changes very slowly and little, then today I offer you a motivational article in which I will motivate you to jump off the motivational needle.

The task of motivation is to ignite emotions in us, to raise a wave of feelings that will carry us to the cherished goal. This is surfing on the crest of a wave, but not hard work with paddles. Beautiful, exciting, easy.

Motivation is popular, but not because it leads to results.
Motivation is popular, just like any other easy way. Unfortunately, a person is so arranged that he is looking for an easy, not the right way.
And if it creates at least some semblance of the right choice, then, most likely, it will be chosen.

Motivation only creates the illusion that everything will turn out easily. Therefore, the smallest difficulty can lead to a retreat. Open / Comment

Imitation
If you find that another person naturally imitates your gestures or posture, it may mean that he is ready to cooperate, understands what you are talking about.

Closed legs
If someone is standing unnaturally close, pressing their legs together, it may mean that the person is hesitating and not confident in himself. This often happens to figureheads who have a title but no real power.

Raising eyebrows
Raising your eyebrows can usually indicate surprise or excitement, but in a normal or serious conversation, raising your eyebrows shows that someone is subconsciously uncomfortable.

2022-03-25 10:01:19 Useless emotions

You know, Stephen King once said that anger is the most useless of emotions.
I agree with him in this opinion.

When you get angry, the opportunity to adequately analyze the situation is lost, the normal functioning of the brain is blocked.

If you pay attention, successful people are always as calm as possible, many practice meditation.

Your productivity and success directly depend on how well you control your emotions.
Think about it.
