How sometimes everyone lacks peace of mind. How much easier it would be to endure adversity if you learned to approach everything less emotionally and demandingly. Someone who knows how to control himself and looks calm no matter what happens is much more protected from negative consequences in his life than someone who is used to reacting too violently to everything. To protect yourself and your loved ones, you need to learn to be more calm and restrained than usual, or rather, become calmer. And this can be done at any age.
You can increasingly hear the phrase that all diseases are caused by nerves. Whether this is true, or just a simplified view of existing problems, does not matter. After all, in fact, it is precisely how balanced a person is that can protect him not only from possible problems with psychological health, but also with physical health. Judge for yourself whether constant irritation, anger, hatred or breakdowns that end in screaming and scandals can have a beneficial effect on the psyche or the body as a whole.
In some cases, shouting out is the only way to relieve accumulated tension. But what is it like to hear this for those who are nearby, and the state of health after something like this leaves much to be desired. Therefore, it is much safer not to bring yourself to such a state. And this can be helped not only by discussing problems as soon as they arise on the horizon, but also by taking a calmer attitude towards them.
Not everything that people worry about is as dangerous and should cause anger and indignation as it seems at first glance. Of course, most will immediately remember a lot of reasons why they cannot be calm. Lack of money, problems in personal life, difficulties at work, nervous conditions on TV, and a lot of other small and big troubles that poison life.
Of course, they are difficult to avoid. To do this you need to be patient and put in some effort. But who said that the speed of their resolution depends on how much a person is nervous and worried. Quite the contrary, the more irritated and indignant he is, the more difficult it is to concentrate and deal with what is preventing him from living. And sometimes it makes it impossible. Because in anger, people do not notice clues, do not hear reasonable advice, are unable to ask for help, they only torment themselves and those around them, wasting their strength and energy.
Our energy is not limitless, it requires careful treatment and time for recovery, and such strong emotions spend it very quickly. And there is no longer any strength left to analyze the available information and take certain actions. Therefore, remember, being calm is not only necessary to protect your health, but also to make it easier to solve the most difficult issues. And this must be realized.
But even if you have a ready-made plan in hand on what you should do to be more calm, but not understanding what benefits it will bring, very soon you will give up on everything and everything will return to normal. As you know, success can be achieved only by understanding why you need to endure all the difficulties that will have to be overcome on the way to your goal.
It is impossible to turn into a reasonable and calm person at the click of a button. Everyone has their own character, attitude to life and mental characteristics. Some people are more excitable, while others have been endowed by nature with a strong nervous system and are difficult to anger. And no one can change this. We can only change our attitude towards what is happening in our lives and look at it from a different angle.
When you feel ready to achieve your goal, you realize that you really need it, then it’s time to change. Until that happens, don't waste your time. Otherwise, you will give up even more, and you will decide once and for all that nothing can be changed. Few people endure unsuccessful attempts. They give strength to only a few and force them to try again and again until they succeed. desired result. Everyone else is not used to giving their best and retreats immediately after the first failure, and no longer strives to change their lives.
Determine what type of people you are, and choose the moment when you can become calmer, and not receive another argument that this is impossible, and life will not let you relax for a minute.
Take time for yourself
When you realize that you are ready, start by setting aside time for yourself when no one can disturb you. Even if it’s only 15 minutes a day, it should belong exclusively to you. Don't let anyone invade your personal space and distract you. Given the existing workload, think about what you need to do to protect yourself from calls, requests or conversations, what you need to say to others or where to go so that no one disturbs you. And try to ensure that these 15 minutes are not only 2-3 times a week, but daily. And over time, it is advisable to increase this time. Take this time for yourself. It seems that this is unattainable, but you can be alone with yourself when you listen to music, read a book or watch TV. You just need to learn to disconnect from external stimuli.
In addition, this will allow you to be distracted even at a time when the boss decided to vent his anger, and a passenger in a crowded transport or a driver in a neighboring car showed his upbringing, but it turned out to be below the plinth. In general, you need to train yourself not to pay attention to those who mean nothing in your life.
Make comments
There is no point in overreacting to rude behavior. It is enough to make a remark so that they do not become even more impudent from impunity, but do this only if they cannot harm you and really did it on purpose, and not out of stupidity.
Get rid of irritants
It is better to get rid of those who are not intelligent at all as quickly as possible. No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try to evoke a feeling of peace, you cannot resist nature. And if someone or something really annoys you, there is one way: stop communicating and seeing each other, and do not watch such programs, do not read materials or narrow-minded and offensive comments.
Be sure to identify a list of irritants and start eliminating them from your life. Those that cannot be removed will have to be turned into something that will no longer have a negative effect.
Your reaction is your health!
Remember, not everything can be changed, but you can always change your attitude towards it. When someone is really annoying, imagine him in a stupid position, remember a funny story involving him or naked. Our dissatisfaction is often caused by the fact that we take everyone and everything too seriously. Bring some humor into your life. Laughter prolongs life.
Compared to real tragedies, the stupid behavior of another does not deserve attention at all. The same applies to lack of money and problems in relationships. After all, you should look for a way to correct the situation, and not use them as a reason for worry.
Constant thoughts that “Everything is lost Senya” will not resolve on their own, but you will waste time and the situation will become even more complicated. So get used to reacting to difficulties in life as a challenge that you are able to overcome once they arise, and not as an irritant.
The main thing is to believe!
Believe that you can do anything. It's unlikely you would have lived to see today, if they were absolutely helpless and unable to deal with any difficulties. This means you have no reason to be nervous. Show everything you are capable of, prove to yourself that you know how to be calm and collected when necessary, and everything else is too small and insignificant for you to continue to worry about any reason.
Also, don't try to solve all the world's problems. And be sure to sleep as much as you need; it’s better to stop watching TV series than to spend an extra hour sleeping. Tired nervous system much more difficult to cope with loads. And, of course, engage in sports that give you pleasure, not forgetting about proper rest, which improves your mood. Haste and excessive stress are catalysts for poor and nervous health. Without proper rest, no nervous system, no matter how strong it is, will be able to cope with external stimuli.
Whatever you want to correct in yourself, the main thing is to understand why it is necessary. And then no one can stop you from achieving what you want. And having become much calmer than before, you will be surprised to notice how life around you no longer seems so nervous and complicated. You will find many things in it that will delight you and fill you with hope.
Self-control is a real art. Today, a positive-minded person is valued. But even the most resilient of us have our bad moments. What to do with feelings that are usually called negative, how to learn to control yourself and your emotions in any situation?
It is believed that negativity must be fought by any means, and positive emotions, on the contrary, must be cultivated. Psychologists have a different opinion: without sadness there will be no joy. Suppressing and masking negative emotions is the path to serious psychological problems. What should I do? Learn to accept and consciously manage the “other side of the coin.” Let's look at the secrets of mastering this art using specific examples.
Reasons for resentment can be found in every day of your life. An old friend did not invite you to visit, a friend wrote an SMS in honor of her birthday, but did not call. Colleagues at the corporate party ignored your joke; the husband refused a simple request; the acquaintance did not thank me for the service rendered. This feeling makes a voluminous, colorful and rich picture of existence black and white. Everything in your eyes becomes simple and clear: here I am, white and fluffy, generous and selfless, and here are nasty people and the same world around me. What to hide, to feel good among the bad, to experience righteous anger towards the offender, to reproduce in your head a scene of violent repentance, sweet.
But the end result is always the same - suddenly a person discovers that the voluntary state of the victim has “eaten up” his mental strength and time, which could have been used with much greater benefit. Fortunately, getting out of this state is not as difficult as it might seem.
The main danger of feeling offended is replaying the same situation in your head, focusing on the personality of the offender. This leads to resentment growing beyond measure, causing more and more harm. The reason for “walking in circles” lies within yourself. Believing that you have no right to be offended, that you deserve such treatment, you try to hide the fact of the offense from yourself and others. Leave this approach! Being honest with yourself, understanding own feelings, tell yourself and (even if to yourself) the culprit of the discomfort: “I’m offended.” Awareness and recognition of the reason that caused the storm in you will stop it.
Overcoming resentment is impossible without “absolution of sins” for the offender. And this can only be done by standing in his place and understanding his motives. Look at the situation from the other side. Perhaps the offense was inflicted accidentally, and in fact the person did not want to offend you? If this is so, is it worth wasting mental strength on accidents?
Before you pout, think about the consequences for your loved one.
What if you yourself have a “stigma in the cannon”? You could accidentally provoke a person to such a reaction or present too high requirements. Be honest with yourself. And remember that admitting mistakes and being more loyal to your neighbor will bring relief to you too.
Throughout your life, you have encountered anger more than once or twice. His. If handled ineptly, this feeling can cause a lot of trouble. But if you learn to manage anger, it may well become a helper, not an enemy, allowing you to improve yourself, better understand yourself and the motives of your own actions, and motivate you to new achievements. Therefore, if something makes you angry, use taming tactics in order to be considered a balanced person and benefit from even the most unpleasant situation.
When a feeling hits, most often a person tries by all means to calm down. In vain. In this case, the storm should subside naturally. Recognize that you have the right to feel this way. Accepting a negative reaction shifts attention to solving the problem, saving energy for a futile fight against the elements.
But in such a way as not to cause harm to yourself or others: take a walk, call a friend, take three deep breaths and exhales, closing your eyes. No less effective is to mentally imagine yourself throwing thunder and lightning at mortals. Do you like this blushing, almost exploding creature with a distorted face? Then imagine how skillfully you suppress anger, showing miracles of self-discipline. Visualization prevents anger from taking over, helping you return to your normal state.
It is easy and even pleasant to return again and again to what irritates you, or to complain about the irritant. But in reality, this only harms, preventing you from developing and occupying own life active, adult position. Instead, learn from the past so you can be more creative and smarter in the future.
In other words, carefully study all the triggers of your anger, think through all the “retreat routes” in advance. For example, if you are annoyed by a colleague talking loudly and for a long time on the phone in her office, use her conversations as a break from work. Few people like anger, and by anticipating explosive moments, it is quite possible to remain collected and calm.
Dejection, apathy... It turns out that these emotions can also be beneficial. All this - natural process, which is triggered by the body itself for the purpose of self-defense. The mode, which is economical on emotions and activity, allows you to survive difficult moments with minimal damage, so that in the future you can rejoice, dream and hope with redoubled force. One who can cope with a difficult period is one who, even in the most crisis moments, does not forget: life is given only once. Honest answers to the questions below will help remind you of this. By the way, it is best to interview yourself every evening, and not just during attacks of melancholy, as a preventive measure.
Only schoolchildren and the most responsible students can call this question easy. But those who are older will probably think about it. You will stop feeling the zest for life if you act according to a practiced, automated scenario every day. You can diversify your impressions by regularly getting acquainted with something new: previously unfamiliar words, scientific facts... Don’t forget about new physical exercises - your body also needs fresh impressions.
Mental health should always be at the top of your priority list. Meanwhile, many people treat themselves worse than their own mobile phone. They complain when they see a scratch on it. They run to the store and buy a durable case for it. They drop things at any moment in order to charge the “assistant” as quickly as possible. To find time for themselves, their energy should be, at best, at the level of 10%. Don't follow such a harmful example! Take breaks to recharge. Since even the most people need breaks modern technology, why are you worse than a perfect, but not a living device?
Not everyone asks this question. Meanwhile, the manifestation simple attention to your neighbor gives you a sense of the value of your own life, gives meaning to every day spent.
It is very important for emotional health to go into the world of dreams with a light heart, without depressing thoughts. To do this, make it a rule to end your day on a happy note, even if it didn’t go well. Simple, but so necessary for everyone things will help: listening to your favorite song, kissing loved one, listing all the good things that happened during the day, mentally reproducing especially pleasant memories from life.
This question is especially relevant for perfectionists who reproach themselves for shortcomings and miscalculations. Everyone makes mistakes. Much more important is the reaction and not mistakes. After all, no matter how sad failures may be, they are useful to some extent, for example, they bring clarity. After them, a person manages to become more far-sighted - he suddenly realizes what is really required for further movement in the right direction. So allow yourself to “see the light.”
Why is one person able to remain calm and confident in any situation, while another in the same circumstances is subject to the full range of manifestations of anxiety and worry? This can be seen all the time - it even happens that brothers and sisters growing up in the same conditions show completely different reactions.
In many ways, our reaction to circumstances is determined not only by experience, but also by innate data. However, regardless of the initial genetic data, experience and other factors, each of us needs to be able to remain calm in any conditions. How can this be done if nature, instead of an impenetrable character, has, on the contrary, endowed with increased sensitivity to the events of the surrounding world?
Firstly, you need to be able to live your emotions and accept them.
It is not worth it, especially in critical situation, try to abstract yourself from fear or anxiety. By suppressing our reactions, we can only strengthen them. Of course, in order to have the proper degree of effective self-control, you cannot do without preliminary preparation. Good help Regular meditation practice can help with this. But it may happen that you do not feel prepared enough to, like the detached yogis, calmly observe everything that happens from the outside.
In this case, it is better not to suppress your feelings, but to accept them. Try using a method from the field of emotional-imaginative therapy. Briefly, this method is as follows. It is necessary to imagine your experience, giving it some kind of physical appearance. It can be any image - a gray spot, a red button. For some, personified fear even takes the form of a melted rubber tire. Then you need to ask this image: what does it need? Maybe he wants you to send him some warmth or positive energy.
Imagine how gentle rays of acceptance and kindness are coming towards your fear. This will help you not to fight the emotion, but to accept it as part of yourself.
Take time away from the situation.
When you are under pressure, you must immediately pause and take a step to the side. After all, it is precisely in the most stressful moments that we most need space for maneuver and time in order to think about further actions. Once you are physically and emotionally detached from the situation, try to clarify for yourself why these circumstances are stressing you. Ask yourself the following questions:
Always be careful.
During a stressful situation, it is very important to maintain attention to detail. It is in them that the answers to many questions, as well as opportunities for solving problems, are most often hidden. Paying attention to detail also helps you control yourself. Look at your behavior, the behavior of other people, the events of the outside world happening around you. In a state of anxiety, all events are mixed into one big lump consisting of questions and unsolved problems. By paying attention to the little things, you can again gradually break down reality into small components, which will also help combat anxiety.
Use encouraging statements.
It is critically important to try to maintain a positive outlook in stressful situations, since it is impossible to be calm in any situation if the mind is filled with negative thoughts and attitudes. To do this, you need to build your internal dialogue correctly. The manner in which you address yourself in stressful circumstances can either calm you down or contribute to further fear and panic.
