Many of our problems exist only in our minds.
They are not the result of any events, failures or actions of other people, but simply the consequence of a few harmful mental habits.
Check out these 10 forms of behavior,
from which if you manage to free yourself, you will solve many of your problems and you will immediately feel a positive change in your life.
1. Don't jump to conclusions.
This seemingly insignificant habit can make your life quite complicated. On the one hand, when you believe you know what will happen, you lull your attention and start acting based on assumptions. And most of them are usually completely false. From there, the actions are also incorrect. The other bad side of this habit is that we very often think that we know why people do this or that, or that we know exactly what they are thinking. Fundamentally wrong again! And that, like nothing else, destroys relationships.
2. Don't dramatize.
Many of us blow up small setbacks and problems to the scale of gigantic catastrophes and react accordingly to these "lethal-dangerous" situations. Why do we do it? Who knows, maybe it makes us feel more important and significant… In any case, it is as stupid as it is harmful and ineffective. Look more: Do not justify yourself! We all have 24 hours at our disposal
3. Don't make rules.
A huge part of all the "shoulds" and "I musts" that accompany us in life are useless. All they bring us is stress and guilt. By following these imaginary rules, we bog down our brains with unnecessary obstacles and childish routines. And when we try to impose these rules on others, then we become an annoying whiner or a self-righteous bigot.
4. Avoid stereotypes and labels.
The words you use can make you vulnerable. Negative language and criticism breeds such thinking as well. By trying to cram everything into certain categories, you stop seeing its true meaning, and you limit your thinking to the point of futility.
❤️For this moment of energy, Milena recommends:
5. Don't be a perfectionist.
Life is never black and white, nor is it all or nothing. In most cases, "enough" means just that "enough". If you're looking for the perfect job, for example, you're more likely to never find it because all the options will seem worse than they really are. Perfectionism is a mental problem that most often does not bring any pleasure and satisfaction, and every time it sends us in search of something that does not exist.
The "wrong" people and things lead you to the right people and things!
6. Don't generalize.
One or two failures is still not a sign of permanent failure. Just as accidental triumph does not make us geniuses. Single events - good or bad - are not always indicative of a lasting trend. Things are what they are. And nothing more.
7. Don't take your relationships with others to heart.
Most people around you, even colleagues and friends, in 99% of their time do not talk, do not think and do not care about you. Many of the people in the company you work for or your neighbors have probably never heard of you. And they don't want to hear. And the life adversities or successes of others in most cases have nothing to do with you and your life.
8. Don't trust emotions.
The feelings and the emotions are not always a true indicator of what is actually happening. Just because you feel something a certain way doesn't mean it's the truth. Sometimes the source of the emotions it could be overwork, irritation or just hunger or some physical ailment. Whether you feel good or bad doesn't change the facts. And while the feelings may be real, they are not the truth itself.
9. Don't give in to negativity.
Exercise in optimism. If you expect trouble, it will happen. A negative attitude is like looking at the world through distorted glasses, and dirty ones at that. It's truly amazing how one can see exactly what one wants - both the good and the bad. When you start looking for it, you will find it at any cost.

10. Don't live in the past.
This is the most important! Just forget the past and move on. The greatest evils, disappointments, misfortunes and desperate acts in this world come from people clinging to past hurts and problems. And the more one ruminates over them in his mind, the bigger they seem and the worse they make him feel. Just forget them! This is how you take away the power of the past to hurt and control you.
