Force yourself to change your habits

"We must take early habits, especially the question often and easily change habits" (Pierre Reverdy, French poet of the twentieth century).

I came across this quote a few days ago and I told myself that this author was right.

In fact, doing the same thing, sink into a daily routine that imprisons us, follow our little routine, we can be harmful.

While it is sometimes difficult to change some of our habits: work, school, errands, regular, etc.. require us to meet a schedule.

For some people, however, have such markers is a guarantee of safety. By following a schedule, they feel they have total control over their lives. They give the feeling of being hyper-organized, control everything.

But if one day, well oiled cog flu is one way or another, these people seemed to have everything under control, are lost and do not know how to react. They do not bear their lives is incorrect.

Exactly, if they had become accustomed to change some of their habits, they would know exactly how to behave. They would not be afraid of changes and can adapt to all circumstances.

So if you're routine, if you do not change their habit, even when trying to do. For example, change of route to work, do not eat the same thing at the restaurant, do not run errands on the same day, do not always do the same thing with your children, etc..

In this way, not only, you free yourself from your daily grind, but especially you new experiences that can only be enriching.

In addition, you will now able to approach without fear all situations, even those you have not lived.

Be creative. Live fully. Inevitably, you will not have full control over your life but you will reap in return, more fantasies of unexpected surprises.

You will be open to new experiences, meet new people. Liberated from your shackles, you dare more and you'll benefit trust you. You will be eager to live more.

It'sa bit of a vicious circle: the more you're free, you live more clear patterns, the more you dare things, the more your life will be rich!

Down habits! Try at least to escape as often as possible in your routine. You'll have the sensation of freedom, availability. You will, together, more relaxed, less stressed by time schedules.

Do not make your habits tyranny!

In the storm, keep the cap and rest -

Always keep the cap when you want something. You should never get rid of your goals. Above all, we should never act in haste, with haste. Always think before starting. Of course, if you lack confidence in yourself, if you're unsure of yourself, if you have not carefully considered your project, you will not achieve anything. And, most importantly, you will have the tendency to do things too quickly for fear of being seen as someone who does not. Do not mean to do anything. Perform various things "useless" at the same time the sole purpose of showing that we do not sit there doing nothing, is useless and is the source of failure every time.

The foundation of your success is your confidence. If you say: "I'm hopeless, I'm a failure, I will achieve nothing", well, you know what you think. These habits of thought do not leave anytime soon and will bring you inevitably fail. The solution? Need to change your old habits and make new ones. As you become accustomed to constantly belittle you must, conversely, the habit of telling you that you are strong, you're the best that you can accomplish great things. By changing the image you have of you, you change the image others have of you. And nothing can resist you.

Thus, depending on your mental attitude. Things will go wrong if you go wrong. Of course, despite your optimism, sometimes it does not advance as you want. Often, you persist, you shut yourself up in your problems, you're stressed - You really want your project progresses, but despite the hours spent on it, nothing helps you stay in neutral. Worse, you get discouraged, you despair.

However, the solution is simple. Just as you take a break, you walked some time, that you're spending your weekend even. And you'll see strange as it may seem, your problem will be solved when you return. Of course, all this is possible only if you are sure you that you have faith in your project, your thoughts are entirely focused towards this goal.

In fact, this short break, this little break will just relax, relieve stress and you are well, simply. Your mental attitude has changed - Peace be with you. The peace and calm will make you stronger, more powerful and you can move mountains. You'll see things more positively.

It was better before

Who has not once said: "It was better before! ?

Moreover, countless shows "60 Years", "Rock'n'Roll", "70 Years", "80 Years", etc.. clearly demonstrate that the nostalgia that recipe. The organizers of such events do not only surf the wave, not just a matter of marketing. They actually respond to a request to an appropriate audience. Artists supposedly "has been" are also amazed at their new success.

As said one of them during a recent interview: "We've gone from star status to one of 'has been' and now we worship! "

The songs are good triggers memories. This song reminds Johnny Hallyday surprises-parties of the 60s. This allows slow to remember her first kiss. This song Piaf makes us remember our first love. And you? There are certainly worship songs that reflect key moments in your life.

This need to relive the past has been fully identified by Radio Nostalgie. But this need, what is it?

In a world where the future seems uncertain and where this is not always rosy, people feel the need to cling to their past because it is moments lived. There is no uncertainty about what will happen. It's like watching a movie we've seen: there is no suspense or anxiety, we already know the end.

They look at good moments they have experienced at times, certainly not always happy, but they were more complacent because of their young age.

Moreover, the brain tends to obscure the difficult times, it seems quite natural to want to relive happy moments.

But today, everything is not an excuse for nostalgia, music, clothing, furniture, marketing, etc.. ? All this is not done to make us forget the daily realities of this life? Is not this a way to infantilize people?

He did not let the desire to relive the past becomes an obsession. It's nice to occasionally remember good memories of this kind. But it's dangerous for his personal evolution to abuse. Especially since the past that we are present at every turn is usually embellished, smooth, sterile. It is more a dream than reality.

By living together continuously in the past, we are preventing us from projecting into the future. We know very well that every great achievement can not succeed without viewing the result we desired. Do not deny the past but do not try to reproduce it as is. We must learn to use it intelligently. Do not regret the past but obtaining experience, positive or negative, to avoid making the same mistakes.

It is not constantly looking behind us we can move forward. We must go forward, turning to the future if we want to succeed.

Do you paramnesia? Health

"Paramnesia? What word barbarian! Inside, there's the word "amnesia" with the Greek prefix "para". But this division does not appear to provide further explanation.

However, I am sure you know what paramnesia, you may have suffered at one time or another in your life. Indeed, the paramnesia is the feeling of deja vu.

This term was invented by Emile Boirac in 1876 in his book The Future of Psychic Sciences. But the phenomenon had been described previously.

You probably already happened to walk somewhere and you say: "I'm sure I've seen this place yet I've never been to this area. Similarly, you can experience the sensation of having already seen a person so that you see for the first time.

In fact, you made false memories. You confuse the past, present and future. When this condition occurs, you can no longer distinguish reality from fantasy. The two mix. You take things from your imagination to real memories.

This form of paramnesia is best known. But the fact of taking one word for another is also the paramnesia.

This is a true memory impairment which can be quite disabling, embarrassing as it gives the impression of having a mental problem.

It appears often in people with epilepsy. But attention, paramnesia is not a symptom of epilepsy.

In fact, the right hemisphere of the brain, particularly the temporal lobe, which comes into play during the onset of the disorder.

Various hypotheses have been advanced to try to explain this phenomenon.

Some believe that people with paramnesia are reincarnations of previous beings, which would explain that they have already seen or experienced the places or events.

Others lean more toward prophetic dreams: you have lived in your dreams that you currently live.

Others, psychoanalysts, think that this would be caused by the fact that you want to relive, unconsciously, events that you've already experienced.

Still others, perhaps more Cartesian believe the disease occurs because the brain would have stopped working for a time very short. Thus, when a live event, if your brain stops for a millisecond, you are missing information. So when it restarts, you have the impression of having already experienced something so long ago it was a few thousandths of a second. However, the brain, as he was arrested, has trouble finding the concept of real time. Do not worry, it will eventually put things in order but a few minutes later.

This explanation has the merit of being more realistic and reassuring. If you suffer from these problems from time to time, you need not worry unduly. This becomes more worrisome if you live constantly and if it turns into delirium or hallucinations. But rest assured, this concerns only 10% of people who feel the deja vu.

Moreover, as the disorder occurs when you are tired or stressed, to remedy this, you can relax, relax. Otherwise, as it is a disorder of memory, you can do exercises to maintain, that you can only be beneficial for other diseases or disorders of memory that exist.

In severe cases, please go see a doctor.

Find the balance between yin and yang

Most of you have already heard of yin and yang. Their symbol is well known: it is a circle, separated by an S, with the right part black and part white left. And in each half-circle, there is a small white circle to the black and black to the white part.

As their name suggests, the yin and yang are Chinese, they stem directly from Taoism.

Under this philosophy, yin and yang is present in all aspects of the universe. And as the symbol shown perfectly, they are complementary and in full harmony. One can not exist without the other. You can not, for example, be yang and yin at all. Indeed, this complementarity is perfect because, as you can see the symbol, it is a bit of yin in yang and a little yang in the yin.

But that actually represent the yin and yang?

The yin and yang direct all aspects of the universe (earth, water, fire -) and loved.

Yin (black) is the dark side, dark, cold, passivity. It is hollow. It gives life. It represents the moon, feminine. Its colors are cold green, blue, purple, gray.

The yang (white part) is the brilliance, light activity. It represents the sun and the male side. Its warm colors are orange, plum, red, yellow.

To be more complete, here is more accurately represent the yin and yang:

Yin: Feminine - Negative - ODD - Water - Cooling - Humidity - Indoor - Liabilities - Descending - Contraction - Darkness - Home

Yang: Male - Positive - Pairs - Fire - Hot - Dry - Exterior - Active - Ascending - Expansion - Light - Garden

But as there is a little yin in yang and a little yang in the yin, it means there's masculinity in femininity and vice versa.

The theory of yin and yang has been taken in the West to define the personality of individuals. Thus, many psychological tests are available whether you are more yin than yang, or vice versa. You are asked a series of questions such as: What is your favorite color, you are rather quiet, nervous, a little of both, you're stingy, spend, neither, etc. ?

Compared to what precisely symbolize the yin and yang, you know perfectly well what kind of questions are asked in such tests.

As for results, here schematically what it is:

A person who is more yin than yang is introverted, quiet and rather shy. She does not put himself forward and not appreciate the change. She prefers cocooning. Physically, it is rather healthy.

A person who is more yang is outward and nervous and likes to get forward. It prefers adventure to the routine of everyday life. Physically, it would be rather thin.

Bine course, in absolute terms, the ideal is to find the perfect balance between yin and yang. If one dominates the other, you're not very balanced. However, in reality, you will always be more than yin yang or vice versa.

However, to try to find this balance, it is recommended by specialists fen-shui, equip your home based on the balance you want.

So if you're too yang, too nervous, maybe you ought to calm down, make a room more yin, blue for example.

Conversely, if you're more yin without peps, walls of red are preferred in order to restore energy.

There are various techniques and to try to achieve harmony between yin and yang, between your body and mind, between you and the world around you. Finding this balance is essential to keep you healthy. Acupuncture, shiatsu, Chinese medicine in general, refer to the theory of yin and yang and trying different manipulation by you breathe more yin or yang, as needed to reach equilibrium. A change in your diet can help you achieve it. There yin foods (more grains, less sugar, for example) and yang foods (more vegetables, less strong cheeses, for example).

The balance between yin and yang is also unstable and requires constant work. Indeed, from the moment you have for example more yang, yin will seek to regain lost space, but from there, yang is losing momentum and try to win again, etc. . It is cycled constantly changing you need to tame every day to live in perfect harmony.

Desperately seeking mentor

When you want to create a business practice any activity, change of life, it seems easier to do by being accompanied by a mentor.

The mentor is a mentor, a person who knows, who has already gone through where you want to go. It is there to give you advice to help you avoid making mistakes, so you can move faster.

So, having a mentor seems to be quite a benefit to succeed, to progress more quickly and better in life. This is indisputable.

However, this does not turn into a fiasco, you must take some precautions.

The first obvious thing is that you must choose the right mentor. Indeed, some people can improvise mentor while they do not have the capacity nor the skills. Of course, it seems extremely difficult to know if you're dealing with a good or a bad mentor. Maybe you need to test it, offer him some kind of traps in order to ascertain if his skills are not limited to the "blablatage, if not ultimately a good talker.

Now, assuming you've made the right choice, there is an error to avoid. You must avoid being fascinated, obsessed, obsessed by your mentor. This could be dangerous.

Your mentor is there to help you, but to advise you not to destroy your way of thinking, your trial, your personality. You must keep your freedom of action, your free will.

If you feel trapped by your mentor, if you feel they do not do anything by yourself, you must flee, abandon. Indeed, perhaps you find yourself facing a guru of a cult!

Your mentor is there to guide you and not your grind, to break you mentally.

It must just be a launching pad to your success. His advice is invaluable, even indispensable, but its role should stop there. Is that you, personally, to build your future. You're the only master of your future.

The ideal addition would even surpass the master. Ideally, a good mentor - sincere and competent - does he not think this way? It must be your ally, a collaborator and not direct you to go in the direction he wants him.

You can rightly admire your mentor, be fascinated by his success, for his success. But you must keep a cool head and absorb like a sponge that teaches you the sole purpose of any return "to your own sauce."

This is a good mentor! It will identify you by your potential and help you develop.

If you understood all this, you will go far. A mentor is critical to achieve great things, but it's only you who will arrive after your dream! And perhaps you become one day you own mentor?

Drink pomegranate juice for "fart fire"

Everyone knows grenadine syrup this red, very sweet, that children particularly enjoy.

But here, I'll tell you about the pomegranate juice that possess exceptional virtues.

The pomegranate is an exotic red fruit (native to India and cultivated in the Mediterranean), which contains small seeds filled with delicious juice. Even if it is not practical, it's pretty fun to eat because the seeds are crisp. To eat more easily and more grenade, there is now juice.

Traditional medicine has long used to relieve diarrhea and colic.

Pomegranate juice is sold everywhere, especially in bio-rays. Researchers have indeed realized that the juice of the benefits afforded very interesting for our health.

It contains antioxidants, particularly tannins, which can slow aging and prevent cardiovascular disease. This is the fruit that contains the most. It would be an asset more powerful than green tea, rich in antioxidants with the tannin in it also.

It would also be effective in delaying the development of cancer cells (including cancer of the prostate), hypertension and limited in the case of Alzheimer's. But here, as regards cancer and other serious diseases, it is necessary to take precautions. Scientific studies are not numerous enough to draw compelling conclusions. In any case, regular drinking pomegranate juice, even if you do not heal, you will be incredibly well.

It would also be beneficial for osteoarthritis. It would limit the adverse effect of diabetes on the arteries, despite its high sugar content.

Pomegranate juice contains vitamins B5, B6 and C that can give you a boost (better than Red Bull and especially non-toxic) and protect your immune system. It also contains copper and potassium is also beneficial for your immune system.

It is best to consume the juice rather than fruit for pressing the fruit as a whole, all the antioxidants in the seeds and white skin are removed. Pomegranate juice costs quite expensive, around 7 euros per liter.

You can make your juice yourself, from the seeds of the fruit in a juicer or stainless rubbing through a sieve.

If the effects of pomegranate juice occur, you should consume daily, the equivalent of a cup. It is better to take bio.

Pomegranate juice is the juice became fashionable. The United States experienced in 2007 a buying frenzy, as to be out of stock. The phenomenon has moved to France, which seems entirely justified given the benefits of the juice on health. Not for nothing if he was the "fruit of the gods" for the Egyptians.
