What we should learn from the Americans

One day I spent in the United States for one week and realized something. I understood why we often feel unhappy. The whole point of self-isolation.

Smile

When you walk down the street and see the beauty or handsome (whatever :), then do not just ignore the man. Try to smile at him, as soon as your eyes cross. It does not mean anything, you just pass part of his pleasure from what he saw a passerby - he will respond in kind. Half an hour at least pleasant feelings will not abandon you. Then you can repeat!

Ask how are stranger

Standard dialogue in a coffee shop:

- Hello how are you?

- Fine, you?

- Well!

Dopytlivy reader thinks "about anything at all!"

And in fact, after each such question and your answer, "Great!" You know you lied or not within yourself and think about why your things are not OK and why you have to lie to the simple barista in the morning with a coffee shop. Think about your condition and the mood is very useful! Otherwise, when you fix it?

communicate

We are very closed people, because the conductivity of information in our society is almost zero. It is because in the political situation since all dug into the social network - oh, we can now inform on bribe in Omsk, and it will be a resonant event in the country, if the flight in sotssetochkah.

In Croatia, where we lived for a while, as in the United States see the difference on this issue with us. In these countries, people come up and grab communicate with each other for any occasion. They stand in line at cafes and restaurants, and talk to each other, they Gulden, like magpies, at the bar (very unusual for me) They answer the question "how to get" a gross basis and the matter may end up a story about his friend, the bakery around the corner of the third streets.

Think about the model of life the average person in our country. Up in the morning and exchanged a few words with his family. Then one in the car. Then in the office with headphones or in his office. Car. Shop with the same headphones. Then the TV or the Internet surrogates communication. Then you sleep and everything is repeated.

Try to force yourself to talk to people. Try to start the transfer of information from your wonderful brain (but otherwise, you're reading Layfhaker!) Outside. Talk to colleagues about the idea. The saleswoman at the store ask them what their concerns. Call your friends - best friends, or simply - and pull them out for a walk. You are traveling on vacation? No need to go alone or just with the family, find another pair - and communicate with them.

And also attended evening courses, language courses, Make another pro to do some training on it and collect acquaintances and "friends" of sotssetochek - should be with them any practical sense!

In Croatia we saw a group of people from 20 to 70 years have come up with something to do - to make stained-glass windows (very unpretentious colored pieces of glass, nothing special), and then to organize exhibitions in other small towns and share experience. It seems ridiculous, but they are, they go on a visit to one another, a lot of talk - at least about the stained glass windows, a lot of life. They have some need to always do something like that. We lost her, it seems.

Do not stay alone in your daily routine. In the evening, reward yourself meditation or just stay alone with your loved one. Session conductivity can be considered complete. Goodnight!
