Are you racking your brains over what's stopping you from losing weight, quitting smoking, and biting your nails in the evenings? We don't have an answer, but we do have some recommendations that will definitely benefit you
Almost everyone has habits and addictions,which are not good for the body or everyday life in general. Whether it is an addiction to nicotine, caffeine, alcohol or talk shows - it does not matter. Even if you bite your nails when you think about the soufflé that did not rise, this is also a habit that ruins your manicure and calls into question your stress resistance. We will not delve into the deep depths of the psychological background of obsessive states, but our advice will certainly help to ease the transition to a new life free of bad habits. 1. Order
What do you think the different drug dens have in common?degree of direction? The answer is as simple as a stool - disorder. Piles of junk clutter not only the space, but also the mind. When things are scattered around you haphazardly, without a permanent location, the same thing happens to your awareness of yourself in this world. Hence the conclusion: work on the storage systems in your home and think about what must be hidden from view behind doors and partitions, and what can and should be put on display for all to see.
Gradually accustom yourself to order and cleanliness.Buy a new mop, fix your vacuum cleaner, get some clean rags and sponges. All of this will help you reduce the stress of the upcoming regular cleaning on a psychological level. And it will finally put your thoughts in order.
2. Natural palette
There is nothing more perfect in the world than nature.That is why acid, candy and luminescent shades are most often rejected by our consciousness. If your interior resembles a night club with its color filling, do not be surprised by chronic insomnia and a constantly “wound up” state.
The best cure for mental pain or, as in our case, for internal disharmony is a calm, peaceful environment.
Look around and answer honestly the question of what youirritates you in your home. Even if it is a portrait of your beloved grandmother against the backdrop of the bright cityscapes of the Venetian Burano, gather your strength and put the photo away where it will not disturb your restless mind. Your choice is natural shades of earth, grass, water and sky. Ideally, they should be muted. All bright accent spots are also better kept in the same natural range.
3. Painting
This is the most interesting thing.Let's say you've decided to give up caffeine for a while or forever. You've switched to tea and herbal infusions, or you've taken up yoga and are trying to get enough sleep. However, despite all this, you still need external support that will remind you every day of your new life without stimulants. So what should you hang on your wall?
Here everything depends on the characteristics of your psyche.Someone who has given up their favorite product or drink will want to see it every day, at least in the form of a two-dimensional image. Such a coffee lover who has given up coffee will happily hang a canvas with a steaming cup of coffee in the kitchen, fantasizing every morning about the degree of roasting of the beans for this particular cup. Another person prefers to cross out everything unnecessary from life. In this case, it is better to decorate the walls with invigorating landscapes that stimulate active actions of one kind or another.
4. Inspiration
Even if your profession is not related to creativityactivity, since you have wandered onto our site, your soul definitely requires the realization of hidden talents. Perhaps you love to cook and every weekend you try to surprise your family with something completely new, or in your spare time you model military equipment that is no longer in production, or for the joy of your loved ones you copy the works of impressionists.
In any case, a hobby is great, often it is our hobbies that help us cope with addictions and bad habits. Any more or less creative work requires inspiration.
Therefore, we suggest that you once again strain your mind andThink about what inspires you. A portrait of Jamie Oliver? Wallpaper from your parents' house with surreal patterns, on which since childhood you have distinguished entire pictures with royal castles, talking fish and evil witches? Blooming cacti, proving by their very existence that there are no obvious things in this world, and beauty is sometimes hidden under a thorny cover of pain?
5. Stimulus
So, we have found the source of inspiration, nowYou need to motivate yourself to take regular actions and move towards your goal every day. You have a goal, right? The incentive can be a photo from your vacation where you are having fun and feeling light, or a portrait of an athlete rushing to the finish line. Do you bite your nails to the roots? Hang an ad for nail polish with a perfect manicure on the wall. Do you want to finally stop overeating at night and pump up your buttocks with steel? Well... you get the idea.
6. Place to rest
You can't work around the clock.At some point, even steel mechanisms break down. So trying to fill your life with work in the hopes of escaping a bad habit will ultimately lead you to a breakdown. To prevent this from happening, we encourage you to create a corner of peace and relaxation in your home. This could be an armchair with a floor lamp and a shelf for books, an entire living room that you will temporarily transform into a cinema, or even a balcony with a tiny chair and a table for a cup of tea.
There is just one but: this place should not encourage you to return to the bad habit. That is, no ashtrays, invitingly sparkling glasses, coffee cups, etc.
7. Relaxation
This point is a logical continuation of the previous one.Stress is contraindicated for you, so you need to keep the box with emergency psychological help in your sight at all times. It doesn’t matter what it contains – nicotine gum, protein bars or an aromatherapy kit. The main thing is that you can open the strategic supply of stress-reducing tools even with a clouded vision, ringing in the ears and tremors in all your limbs at the same time.
