People are afraid of change.
Changes - it's stress. People do not change, because they are afraid. They are afraid and turn in on themselves. Easier to be wise limp peskarom than get better. Because when you start to change the world stands upside down: the best of friends seem to be idiots, favorite books - blunt, and Instagram, and does not want to open.
Yuval Noah Harari, a historian and author of the bestselling Sapiens and Homo Deus, considersThat in the near future, the most important thing will be the ability to constantly rebuild themselves: coping with change, learn new things and keep the psychological balance. And here I agree with him.
The rapid pace of modern life. You can rely only on itself. But most people barely know myself. Find out who you are and what you want out of life is not easy.
Here is the check. What is your biggest dream? What first came to mind? Now think about it, is it your desire or is it simply imposed on marketers?
To know yourself, you must first get rid of trash in the head and life.
For the past 12 years Layfhaker encourages you to deal with the rubbish in your head, digital junk and clutter in cases spit mental cud imposed on other people's opinions, TV and social networks, to shift the responsibility to stop and go with flow.
Victor Pelevin, "Nika"Trash has over man a strange power.
Often we are eliminating their blockages, and then wonder why no progress in our lives. We cling to the old, outdated habits of things from the category of "ever put on" for the friends with whom we spent all his childhood, but which have long ceased to understand us.
The worst thing that we do not understand this, but just shove stuff pigeonholed. As a result, we get neurasthenia, zapping, Serious health problems.
However, in order to create space for new achievements, you need to make a lot less effort than it might seem. It is enough to start. Just pick one thing.
In my opinion, the easiest way to start with cleaning, for example, in a closet. Do this by the method of Marie Kondo: gather all things together, leave only what is causing the spark of joy, and then put on special procedures. And one skill more and one less. Cleaning in the physical world helps in the mental. No wonder that, after parsing the trash we have a sense of ease and tranquility.
The same effect is felt when the get rid of unproductive thoughts. What occupied your mind? Understanding error analysis, prompting internal order, values clarification, decision making, goal setting and their implementation - all productive thought. Of those born efficiencies. Thoughts about the past and the future, thoughts of the victim, distraction and doubt - is unproductive thoughts. They interfere with control life, forced to experience, immersed in dreams, to err. Analyze the contents of his mind and try to remove the excess.
Grasp the new challenges, step by step. And are used for their solution methods, previously unknown to you. So you are on the one hand, learn, and do not stand in place, and on the other - to clear the mind and create space for new achievements, which means - is changing for the better.
Do not be afraid of change. In the XXI century stability - a luxury.
