Tarot cards for August. Auspicious and unfavorable days for all signs

To live bright to the point of trembling and full of impressions is within the power of anyone who has at least a minimum of intellectual abilities, but on the other hand, a maximum of determination to take “his own” from the world. Are you one of those? Then read the 10 harsh laws of life, which, like a red pill, will make you wake up from hibernation for the sake of really significant achievements. How to Succeed Rules

10 laws for the right motivation

1. Right now you are where you should be.

There is no wrong way, "not your" place or wasted. Everything that happens to you had to happen for you to become who you are now. Leave stupid attempts to change, predict the future, stop mourning lost opportunities. Learn to respect the experience gained, love your present.

2. The only way to get what you want is to do it.

Alas, dreams will remain dreams until you roll up your sleeves and take action. Do you want a great figure? You'll have to go on a strict diet, or even get a gym membership. Do you like a house in Tuscany? Study the supply market, weigh the rental options, go take a closer look. No other way.

3. Mistakes cannot be avoided.

It's time to stop being perceived as the biggest evil on the way to. This is just a lesson fee, life experience, the engine of your progress, after all. Mistakes harden the spirit, make the path to interesting, and even more enjoyable. Only those who do not move anywhere, and therefore do not grow, do not make mistakes.

4. Doing good things is more important than doing things well.

Before beating yourself up for slow progress, think about what is really important: doing everything by the rules or doing the right thing? The truth is that it is better to move slowly towards the chosen goal than to rush fast and with a breeze, but in the wrong direction.

5. No one really knows exactly how to succeed.

The truth is that there is no “how to become a billionaire in 12 days” algorithm. The path to glory is individual for everyone, often seasoned with hard labor for a couple with unrealistic luck. The truth lies somewhere, therefore it is better to listen to yourself more and follow the public order less.

6. Life is multifaceted and unpredictable.

Feel free to adapt to change, let go of the bar of expectations and accept all the opportunities that the world provides. Everything changes, life is dynamic, every end opens a new beginning. Just stop trying to control everything around and relax, trust the world, it will not disappoint! Even if such an outcome was not included in your ...

7. The environment in one way or another affects our personality.

Pessimists, lazybones, parasites and sissies are unlikely to affect our self-determination, rather, they will only do harm. Do you want to grow, change and change the world around you? Start by cleaning your space. Do not let people pull you to the bottom, criticize yours, limit your worldview, prove the right to privacy, it's time to grow up.

8. Challenges are an opportunity to grow.

If a person did not overcome any obstacles, did not live through crisis moments in life, he would not have made progress. In this sense, they allow you to grow, achieve new heights, better understand yourself, the world around you and your desires. This is a kind of life test for the transition to new level. And this is good!

9. The energy of thought has a powerful attraction.

Rather than constantly scrolling through petty negativity in your head and chewing on discontent, it’s better to think about what it delivers, for which you are really grateful to the universe. Seriously, it has long been proven capable of amazing things! Learn to focus on positive things and say “thank you” more often.

10. What you have now is the result of your choice.

Whatever the circumstances of your life, you will always be their creator, because the final decision (to accept or not to accept the current situation) belongs to you. You choose yours, you are free to give up or go against the odds. Everything is up to you.

Whatever you choose, remember the world has everything you need to achieve your goals. The main thing is not to give up, not to look back, not to succumb to despondency or self-blame. Live, experiment, change, move forward. Only your attitude to events determines how they will affect you. Only you have the right to choose how you live your life. Good luck!

The ability to present oneself, good manners, rules of etiquette - all this requires not only skills, but also knowledge in these areas. Modern man should know how to behave in any circumstances, be able to behave accordingly, be amiable, friendly and self-confident.

The concept of etiquette comes from the French word "etiquette", which means a set of generally accepted rules of conduct, knowledge of the basics of politeness. There are several main types of etiquette: the ability to present oneself: wardrobe formation, appearance care, physical form, gestures, postures, posture; speech form: the ability to say compliments, greetings, thanks, manner of speech; table etiquette: the ability to eat, knowledge of serving standards, table manners; behavior in society: how to behave in the office, shop, exhibition, museum, restaurant, theater, court; business etiquette: relationships with superiors, colleagues, business negotiations.

So, a few useful and pleasant rules.

Man and woman

1. A man always lets a woman go first. A man enters a restaurant always first, main reason- on this basis, the head waiter has the right to draw conclusions about who is the initiator of coming to the institution, and who will pay. In the event of a large company coming, the first person to enter and pay is the one from whom the invitation to the restaurant came. But if a porter meets visitors at the entrance, then the man must let the first woman through. After that, the gentleman finds free places.

However, there are several exceptions to this rule. The representative of the stronger sex enters the elevator first. The one who is closest to the door leaves it first. A man is the first to go down the ladder of a ship, an airplane and from public transport. When walking up the stairs the man is walking 1-2 steps below the lady in order to be able to support her in case she stumbles. And further. Entering and leaving always holds the door.

The male representative should follow to the left of the companion and be the first to enter the restaurant. If the lady greets acquaintances, the gentleman should also greet them, even if the people are unfamiliar to him. Without the woman's approval, a man has no right to touch her. It is allowed only in moments of assistance (getting into a car, crossing the road).

2. If you have to go to your seat along a row of seats, go facing the people sitting in them. The man must go first.

3. Don't want the man accompanying you to look funny? Don't let him carry your bag. Yes, and he takes his coat, just to convey to the locker room.

4. In no case should you touch a woman without her consent. An exception is the cases of providing "polite" assistance when getting out of the transport and crossing the street, when it is necessary to give a woman his hand.

5. If you decide to meet at a restaurant, the question arises who pays. Usually the one who invites. Even if a woman invites, let's say her colleague. But if she says: "Let's sit in a restaurant," this suggests that everyone pays for himself.

If a person “offers” to spend time together, for example, in a cinema or restaurant, this does not mean at all that he must pay all expenses. Only a direct "invitation" implies that the interlocutor is ready to pay for a movie or quench dinner at his own expense.

Clothes and accessories

It is important that the clothes are beautiful and suit you, but it is much more important that all the details of the appearance are organically combined with each other, and that it matches the time, place and atmosphere. It is not customary to wear evening dresses during the day, and to wear leisure clothes to work. Each time, choosing what to wear, you must take into account the situation, the appropriate occasion, time, place, do not forget about your own age, body features.

1. For men. Things inappropriate for a man include: embroidered shirts, vulgar suits, too bright ties. Business attire should be moderately fashionable. In the morning it is allowed to wear a jacket, frock coat or jacket pair. The color should correspond to the season: light in summer, dark in winter.

2. For women. Women's clothing should be appropriate for the nature of the work. A business lady for a business lunch or a conference will not fit a too short skirt or a low-cut blouse. If the meeting will be at a resort hotel or club, you need to take several outfits that will be suitable for different situations.

3. Entering from the street, a woman may not take off her hat and gloves. Only a woman reserves the right to remain indoors in a hat or gloves. But if you have a hat on your head and your hands are hidden in mittens, it is better to leave them in the hallway.

4. Can't there be too much beauty? International protocol prescribes that the number of decorations should not exceed 13 items. And a few more nuances that distinguish a lady with taste. Rings are not worn over a glove, even a thin one. Here's the bracelet.

4. Without a handbag, any woman feels insecure. But where to put it, so that it is at hand and does not interfere with anyone? A large bag can be hung on the back of a chair (your own!) Or placed on the floor. A small elegant handbag looks appropriate on the table. But placing it on your knees or behind your back is unacceptable. This is bad tone.
A men's purse or a small handbag is placed on the table, and the briefcase must be left on the floor.

5. If you enter with a wet umbrella, it is indecent to dry it open. Fold and put in a special stand. If there is none, hang the umbrella on a hanger.

6. If you do not want to catch contemptuous glances, do not carry plastic bags as bags, even with the logos of the most prestigious boutiques. They are relevant only as packaging for the purchased goods.

7. What is decent to wear at home? Many people think that a bathrobe or pajamas is the right thing. A sweater, trousers, a comfortable home dress will make you not only more attractive, but also add respect to those around you.

meal

1. At a common table, especially at a party or in a restaurant you should not notify your companions about the features of your diet. If you do not eat sweet or fatty, do not offend the hostess with a categorical "no" to her cake. One should always accept a dish with gratitude, but eating it is not at all obligatory. The same rules apply to alcohol, it is enough to simply “clink glasses” with glasses while making a toast.

2. To drink or not to drink? Never drink until you have swallowed the food, unless you have unexpectedly swallowed hot food. If you see that the food is hot, do not blow on it before you start eating. Try to eat and drink absolutely silently. In society, bread is eaten not by biting off the whole piece, but by breaking off pieces from it. Salt from an open salt shaker, if there is no special spoon in it, is supposed to be taken with the end of a clean knife, after pouring it on the edge of your plate.

3. Instrument language. If you want to drink or take a break from eating, then you need to leave the fork and knife in a crosswise or "house" position. The spoon is always taken with the right hand, if you eat from a soup bowl, the spoon is left there after eating, not laid out on the table. At the end of the meal and before drinking, it is customary to use a napkin.

Telephone communication

Compliance with the rules of etiquette should also be during communication on the phone. During the conversation, you need to carefully monitor the intonation, since the interlocutor does not see your face and may misunderstand the meaning of the message.

You should not make the caller wait, the maximum time for picking up the handset reaches six beeps. It is also not necessary to rush to the phone - it is better to answer after the third beep.

It is customary to call the interlocutor by name, if he is familiar. If not, please introduce yourself first.

Language of the body

Remember that words are not the only speakers. Your body and its position can tell a lot about its owner. When talking, do not spread your legs wide, keep your hands in your pockets or stoop. Excessive gestures are also not welcome - in order not to embarrass the interlocutor, gestures should be restrained. Pay attention to the person's personal space - the distance should be no less than the size of an outstretched arm.

It is considered bad manners to turn something in your hands, twist your hair around your finger, drum your fingers on the table, stamp your feet to the beat of the music, touch any parts of your body with your hands, pull on someone else's clothes. As for the question of how to sit correctly, it is important to know only two rules here: do not cross your legs and do not fall apart, spreading your legs and arms to the sides.

Acquaintance and communication

1. Who greets you first? Whoever you are - director, academician, old woman or a schoolboy - entering the room, greet first.

When meeting, you should give your name first if you have to communicate with a group of people. An unfamiliar guest is called all those present by name only after his own introduction.

In everyday etiquette, the younger ones or men are the first to get acquainted. To produce pleasant impression You should always start communication with a smile.

You should only submit right hand. The woman is the first to give a hand to the man; men greet everyone standing without exception; when introducing a guest to other people

2. Before entering any room, especially in someone else's office or office, you must first knock.

3. Polite address to the interlocutor exists in all languages ​​of the world. In Russian, this is an appeal to "you". A well-mannered person says "you" to all people over 12 years old. Fans of "poke" are unlikely to achieve respect from the interlocutor. It is necessary to respect the older generation and not read the personal records of your children without permission.

4. Speaking of children. Did you give your child a separate room? Train yourself to knock if you want to go to him. This is an important element in the development of self-respect. And he won't break into your bedroom without knocking.

Also, try to instill in your child good trait: do not interfere in the conversation of adults, interrupt elders, whisper in your ear; and learn for yourself that they do not make remarks to other people's children in the presence of their parents.

5. Coming to visit without a call, you can put the hostess in an awkward position. Educated people pre-arrange a meeting. Uninvited guest may be an inappropriate "surprise" for the hosts, who will be unprepared for an unexpected meeting.

It is considered bad manners to force guests to take off their shoes. They have to figure things out for themselves. If not, the rules of ethics are unknown to them.

In no case can you meet guests in the "home", and especially in a dressing gown. A bathrobe is an attribute of clothing that is worn only after taking bath procedures or put on over pajamas in the morning.

6. For the ability to conduct small talk, it is important to know which topics it is better not to touch. Among the forbidden topics: age, religion, salary, money and intimate relationship between people, the state of health, the level of living conditions. Everyone has the right to keep their secrets private.

Also, do not discuss the absent, especially in a negative way.

Dining at public place, especially in a company, you should not put your mobile phone and even more distracted by it while eating. Turning to a smartphone during lunch is a manifestation of disrespect for your interlocutors.

In the car

The car is an important attribute modern life. Using it also has several rules.

1. A woman takes a seat behind the driver. The satellite (if any) is located nearby. It is considered good manners to open the door for the lady and help her get out of the car, unless she is sitting closer to the exit.

2. The driver should not roll down the glass in the car without making sure that this does not create inconvenience for passengers. You should suppress the urge to sound a signal in a traffic jam.

3. When two married couples going to some social event or returning back, in the car they usually change their companions, but this rule is not firmly established.


Remember! Spring - the best time to develop a truly sincere, warm relationship!

Mistake 1. To the question: "How is life?" - answer: "So-so, nothing good." People expect joy from communication. We are subconsciously a little afraid of a dull person, and as a result, we avoid it.

Rule 1 Learn to create a good, spring, airy mood for yourself every day. Focus on your inner world for personality and good taste. Bring bright colors to life - change a formal suit for a romantic outfit, visit a cozy cafe across the road; energize - organize a small holiday for the soul - go through a spa ritual. And also smile - to the world and to yourself - this is the fastest way to give your face and body a rested, blooming look, which means expanding your circle of acquaintances.

Mistake 2. Saying: “I don’t have time, not now, I would never do that.” If you have got such a bad habit of saying such phrases, then they will communicate with you less and less, even the closest and most beloved people.

Rule 2 Remember when was the last time you just hugged your parents, spouse or children? Express your feelings daily! After all, tactile communication gives a person a sense of security, comfort and even improves immunity. Give hugs, and then healthy and happy people there will be much more around you. And communication will certainly develop!

Mistake 3. Telling lies. If only you wish to consciously cause dislike, create a conflict.

Rule 3 Do you want to get rid of colds less often and get rid of headaches?! Then, write less and cheat! Doctors from the University of Massachusetts have proven that those who like to lie are more likely to get colds and headaches. Inventors experience tension and stress because they are constantly forced to be on the alert, and this weakens the body.

Mistake 4. Don't watch your posture. At an unconscious level, stoop is read as a lack of self-confidence, a lack of love for oneself and others.

Rule 4 In order to feel cheerful every day, you need to monitor your posture. A bent back prevents breathing - they do not work at full strength, which means they deprive you of oxygen, and as a result - a lack of strength and energy. Keep your back straight, take care of your spine,. Be beautiful and loved!

Mistake 5. Being lazy. You lose all chances to make new good acquaintances.

Rule 5 Fresh air and sports

Be outside for at least an hour daily. Put down your pack of crackers and cola, get up off the couch and go for a walk, or better yet, even a run; visit an exhibition, a theater, a cinema - you won't regret it!

Spring is the very reason. Follow our simple rules. Create your own, and you will notice how quickly life and communication will only bring joy!

Wish you luck!

In my view, the optimal regimen for maintaining health consists of the daily implementation of five life-supporting rules: breathing, water - drinking regimen, movement, nutrition and psychological improvement. Of course, the best result is guaranteed by the correct implementation of each of the five rules and, no less important, their optimal combination.

I had to think about the “rule of five” already on crutches, although, at first glance, my entire previous life seemed to be fully consistent with the ideas of that time about a healthy lifestyle. At school I played a lot of sports - I swam and played water polo, student years became interested in sambo wrestling and became a master of sports. After completing active performances on the carpet, he continued to run every day, spent his holidays at sports facilities, ate high-calorie foods, did not forget about fresh vegetables and fruits, mastered autogenic training and doused himself with cold water.

However, from a certain moment I began to notice that my health was slowly deteriorating. Those were not even symptoms, but simply a feeling that is especially acute in athletes. I tried to add or decrease the running distance, “improve” nutrition, but if there were successes, then only temporary. The situation was aggravated by the fact that all the examinations, tests and analyzes carried out in dispensaries, no doubt, testified to my complete health. When it came to talking about appearance or physical activity, then I won ten years against my unsportsmanlike peers. In a word, everything convinced me that my lifestyle is really healthy. The fall in the “quantity of health”, in the terminology of Academician Nikolai Amosov, is nothing more than a natural aging process.

The case forced me to reconsider my views. One day while exercising, I suddenly felt pain in my hip joint. “Okay,” I thought, “it will pass.” But the pain didn't go away. On the contrary, day by day it became stronger. I went to the doctor... Only three years later I was diagnosed with coxarthrosis, a disease of the hip joint associated with impaired blood circulation and changes in cartilage tissue in this area. Bad thing.

Of course, I was treated. But physiotherapy and medicines did not bring success. In one of the Moscow arthrocenters, I was offered injections of a rare foreign medicine. As a result, an inflammatory process began in the joint, and the initial stage of coxarthrosis (in which I continued to run, although with difficulty), turned into the last one in just six months. Now I couldn't even walk properly, turning into a bedridden patient.

Operation loomed on the horizon. Well-known specialists from CITO and from the Seppo clinic in Talin insisted on it. By that time, I had read a lot of literature about coxarthrosis and already knew that the operation was difficult, and most importantly, the guarantees for success were very insignificant.

In such cases, everyone lives in search of some kind of miracle ... So I discovered a completely official medical institution, where Professor Yu. Nikolaev treated a fairly wide range of diseases with the help of ... starvation.

“Temporary abstinence from food,” I thought then, “is better than a complex and dubious operation.” But, of course, there were also doubts. After all, as soon as I didn’t eat for half a day, my head began to hurt, weakness appeared ... But, in fact, there was no choice. I went to the clinic.

For the first time in my life, I have a lot of free time. Of course, I began to study the literature on fasting—I wanted to know what was happening to me: about clinical nutrition, yoga, Tibetan medicine ... I learned about the existence of numerous methods for maintaining and restoring health. These methods are based not only on the experience of many generations, going back thousands of years, but also on strict modern scientific provisions, rich clinical practice, as well as on the experiments of volunteers, especially those whose health is hopeless.

It was from literature that I learned five rules for myself. However, he also found a lack of unity among specialists in the interpretation and evaluation of certain provisions. Especially when it came to the place of each of the five rules in common problem. The fact that this problem needs to be dealt with is evident from a number of facts.

In recent years, the average life expectancy in our country has fallen and reached 65 years for men and 67 for women, which is much lower than in a number of highly developed countries. Only in Last year there is some progress, which is explained by the state's attack on such vices as alcoholism, drug addiction and substance abuse; 50 percent of men and 75 percent of women are overweight, and this is the forerunner of hypertension, diabetes and other diseases of the century. There are about 70 million smokers in the country.

The list of troubles can be continued. But the question is: is the evil we face inevitable? Can't fight him? That's just the point, what is possible and necessary. Indeed, in the same literature, I found data from which it follows that 100 - 120 years is quite real term human life. I am not going to talk now about the necessary measures on a national scale. But each person, having increased the level of his knowledge, including having learned the “five rules”, can do a lot for his health.

Let me tell you about myself. Staying in the clinic of Yu. Nikolaev performed the very miracle that I feared and hoped for. I got out of it without leaning on crutches. Well, what happened next was a matter of putting the acquired knowledge into practice... After leaving the clinic and joining the “five rules”, two years passed. I completely stopped pain in my knees, because of which I had to warm up for a long time in the morning. Disappeared pain in the spine, which did not allow to sit at desk over half an hour. Improved flexibility. Forgot about the headaches. More about coxarthrosis. Now I jog 3-5 km daily. I don't take any medication.

The size of a newspaper article, of course, does not make it possible to set out in full all the provisions of the five rules, but I would like to dwell on some of them in order to show the habitual delusions of a healthy person.

For example, what is the right way to drink water? It turned out that it is best to eat before meals. 30 minutes. Why? In any textbook of physiology it is written that on the 12-meter path of the gastrointestinal tract, water is absorbed only at the end of the path - by the walls of the large intestine. Moreover, water travels the entire distance quite quickly and is absorbed in 5 minutes. So, if you drink immediately after eating, then the water will simply dissolve the gastric juice. By the way, it is by no means accidental that in the resorts where mineral waters are used for medicinal purposes, they must be drunk on an empty stomach. I foresee the question: “But what about dessert, that is compote?”. No way! Nothing more than a fashion that came to Russia from France, and an elementary violation of physiological laws.

Of course, I only scratched the surface of the question of the use of water for medicinal purposes. There is a whole science here. Water is an amazing source of health. Alas, we drink from it too rarely and little, and, most importantly, clumsily.

But water has another remarkable property - the ability to quickly restore the electrical potential of the body. He wrote in detail about the presence of such a potential in his book “ Active longevity”Academician A. Mikulin. The fact is that the legs and arms are under a negative potential in relation to the head. Moreover, the potential difference is only 1.5-2 volts. However, for many reasons (well, clothes, for example), there is a change in potentials during the day. To put it simply, our internal “power plant” is out of control. Meanwhile, under her control is the lion's share (up to 95 percent) of the metabolic processes that are constantly going on in the body. The failure of the “power plant” and suddenly leads to a sharp and seemingly unjustified deterioration in well-being. So, showering or bathing literally immediately restores potential, reducing static electricity. That is why the influence of water procedures is so beneficial.

In the five rules that I adhere to, one of the leading roles belongs, of course, to nutrition. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t eat right until that very time of fasting in the clinic. From the literature that I studied, it followed that there were only four general nutrition systems:

The so-called common table, officially - No. 15, according to which healthy person you can eat all kinds of foods in any combination. Then dietary nutrition, in which some of the products, the time of intake and the amount of food are limited. Young vegetarianism. It forbids meat and fish, but does not forbid the consumption of dairy products and eggs. Finally, the old vegetarianism, which excludes any food of animal origin.

Within these systems, one can find a significant number of empirical or scientifically developed regimes, as if offshoots from the main directions. Let's say, separate nutrition, nutrition with vegetable and fruit juices, a raw food diet, mono nutrition (in which only one type of food is eaten for a while), and so on. The worked out directions of nutrition in every nation are interesting for centuries. For example, Orthodox food. According to him, there are four big fasts during the year plus Wednesday and Friday weekly. In total, this gives about a six-month post. Or take five meals a day of yogis at a strictly set time: at 7 o'clock. 15 min., 9 o'clock. 30 min., 12 noon 00 min., 15 h. 15 min., 19 h. 15 minutes. Yogis, by the way, adhere to old-vegetarianism, but with the addition of milk.

Scroll various kinds nutrition could continue. But the above list is quite enough to understand how difficult it is for a mere mortal to independently choose one or another rational regime for himself. Moreover, there is still no single point of view on optimal nutrition. Vegetarians defend their positions, "meat-eaters" - theirs. However, all nutritionists at all times agree on one thing: the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in food should approximately correspond to the formula 1:1:4. In addition, food should include vitamins such as C, groups B and PP, as well as vitamins A, E, K, D, and together with them 28 different microelements or their compounds.

But there are also controversial points. For example, nutritionists still argue about the amount of protein a person needs daily. According to some statements, 20 grams are enough, according to others - 120 or even more. The World Health Organization (WHO), which specifically studied this issue, came to the conclusion that the average norm should be 40 grams.

Another contentious issue regarding protein is the need to consume the eight essential amino acids. With young vegetarians, and even more so with systems containing meat, a complete set of such amino acids is guaranteed. However, studies by adherents of old vegetarianism show that the problem of essential amino acids is solved by eating cereals and legumes in a ratio of 4:1. At the same time, all nutritionists unanimously argue that a person consumes two or even three times more food than he needs.

Having tried unsuccessfully two of the four systems, I personally settled on vegetarianism. Added on the advice of Yuri Sergeevich Nikolaev weekly one-day fasting. Once a year - fortnightly. Excluded from the menu sweet, salty, spicy. Reduced the amount of food to 1.5 kg per day. Having named running, I, of course, have far from exhausted all types of physical activity. Walking, cycling, swimming, skiing are all good exercises. By the way, in the clinic I had to start with static exercises and only eventually combine them with dynamic exercises.

One could write a whole chapter on the rule of breathing. It is known that a person can live without food for 240 days, without water - 6, without air - only 5 minutes. In our body there is no system for the long-term accumulation of oxygen. Before the onset of urbanization, man literally lived in the fresh air. Now we spend most of our time in apartments. Meanwhile, studies show that the most harmful, low-oxygen air is not on a street clogged even with vehicles, but ... in your kitchen. That's why make it an inviolable rule to take at least an hour's walk in the fresh air every day. And, of course, it is useful to master simple breathing exercises, for example, from the system of Alexandra Nikolaevna Strelnikova (the newspaper talked about this system on October 26, 1986). For example, when I undertook to perform a few simple and time-consuming breathing exercises every day, after two months I felt their beneficial effects.

Finally, about the psychological mood. I personally mastered the basics of autogenic training while still an athlete. But the propaganda of psychological culture among the population in our country, unfortunately, is done very badly. The vast majority of people, if they have heard of auto-training, have no idea how to apply it. Psychologists, who could teach people how to behave in one way or another life situation, very little. And I see only one way here - self-education. Mastering the simplest skills of psychotherapy, the possibilities of which are truly enormous. For example, a meaningful meal is many times more useful than swallowing it on the go or while reading a newspaper. Belief in the beneficial effects of physical exercise increases its effectiveness a hundredfold. The ability to restrain oneself sometimes prevents a catastrophe in conflict situation. Examples here can be given ad infinitum.

So, I introduced you to the five rules of life support. Let me remind you: breathing, water-drinking regimen, nutrition, physical activity and psychological improvement. It should be noted that the use of each of the rules in a given situation may have contraindications. Art healthy lifestyle life is reduced in this case to enough difficult problem search for a successful mutual agreement of a set of techniques from these rules in relation specifically to each person. In simple terms, this means: try to know yourself and look for your own concept of health by adopting the five rules.

Decide to be happy: hug, share, watch the sunset, plant trees and flowers, listen to music, read books, exercise. It is DECIDE - it is your conscious decision that is needed for your happiness. NO ONE can make you happy but yourself. The most important principle. So what else would you like to remember?

  • The 80/20 Rule (Pareto's Law)
    80% of all your results and income are brought to you by only 20% of your activities. A lot of what you do isn't really necessary. Optimize your time. Think about it: 80% of almost useless work! So who doesn't have time for their favorite hobby there?
  • Parkinson's Law
    You can do what you want, much faster. The more time you allocate to the task, the more you will spend. And if you tend to put off things until the last minute, then regardless of whether you have allocated yourself a week or a month, the work will still be done in the last 2 days.
  • First give, then receive
    In that order, and not vice versa. Over time, you will get more than you give. Rejoice for the world. Wishes come true every second on earth. Tomorrow may be yours too. No person who has done a worthy deed has ever been rewarded with less than he gave.
  • Mistakes and failures are good
    They allow you to gain invaluable experience, learn a lot of interesting things and become successful, since success in life often comes only if you do not succumb to failures and mistakes. He comes only to the persistent.
  • Meet and chat easily
    Treat every meeting as if it were your best friends. If you start with this mindset, you will be more confident, more open, and win over new people. Not to mention how important a first positive impression is.
