Managing your own state

​​​​​​​Managing one’s own state allows a person to quickly change his functional, mental and physical state for certain situational goals. Methods of managing one’s own state are very diverse: these are methods of both indirect and direct influence, when using them, a person can be in both a passive and active position, influencing himself.

The most common questions about managing your own wealth are:

• How to get back or improve your mood
• How to cheer yourself up
• How to prepare yourself (for example, How to calm down before an exam)
• How to relieve fatigue
• What to do with your own aggressiveness

Among the most common techniques and recommendations that do not require special knowledge and equipment, we note the following.

Keeping a diary is the simplest and quite effective way to manage your own state. With the help of a diary, it is convenient to track your emotional state, analyze your beliefs and experiences, get rid of resentment and create a piggy bank of positive energy.

Many (especially women) are helped by simple rituals aimed at liberation from negativity. Write a letter to the person who offended you, throw out your emotions there — and burn this letter. To speak out your grievances and say: “I let go of my grievances!”, all the more so just to speak out to your friends — things are quite common and effective just as much as people believe in their effectiveness.

You need to be more careful with recommendations “If you are angry and you are overwhelmed with aggression, do not suppress it in yourself, find a way to defuse it. Throw it out in words, throw it out in actions, and you will feel better. If you suppress your emotions, it will reflect badly on your health.” It is not true.

And what there is no doubt about is that our internal state is inextricably linked with our body, and in the most direct way — with the pattern of its life and movement. Smiling is not just a tension of facial muscles, the habit of smiling is a simple key to raising your mood. They did facial gymnastics — the face became alive. By correcting our posture and straightening our shoulders, we regain vigor and self-confidence. A light and strong gait in the most reliable way gives us energy and a feeling of the ground under our feet. Thinking about the role of the body, put things in order at least in two things: make yourself a Cheerful morning and a Right evening, and your state will begin to please you to a much greater extent.

The next important point is physical activity. It is sometimes difficult to reach the gym, but we leave it energized. Sports, dancing, yoga, as well as walking and even sex are the simplest, most affordable and useful means of regaining strength and energy.

Moved vigorously — you need to rest. Relax properly! See the rest rules in a separate article, but here you need to remember the benefits of muscle relaxation. Relaxation calms, relieves fatigue, creates conditions for positive self-suggestion. In a stressful situation, it is always useful to go to bed and get enough sleep: “The morning is wiser than the evening”, more prepared people use auto-training with great benefit.

Surprisingly little is known about the role of breathing in managing one’s own state. Breathing accompanies us everywhere, perhaps that is why we do not notice how, by changing our breathing, we thereby change our state. One who is able to maintain calm breathing maintains inner peace. Even breathing with an extended exhalation helps to calm down, breathing with sharp exhalations, especially with screams, puts the body into a fighting mood. The surprised “Oh?”, as an easy way out, removes a slight offense, and the secret of the effect of singing is not so much in the words of the song, but in the combination of harmonics and in the rhythm of the breath embedded in the song.

The song brings you out of a state of neurotic trance well, although it often plunges you into another trance … To control this, you can and should select music and songs that help you enter the desired state. Through music, you can calm down, you can energize, depending on your goals. It is only important to remember the need for initial adjustment to the music: the fact is that a melody that does not match your state too much can cause rejection. It is not rock and roll that brings out of the state of melancholy, but at first something more calm, as in a state of rage, meditative melodies infuriate even more. First you need to tune in to what is in tune with the soul, and only after a couple of melodies you can gradually bring yourself to the state that is necessary.
