A person slips into apathy — after a series of failures, or after bright hopes that have not justified themselves.
Those who are new to mental hygiene and do not carry out the correct emergency self-help, which is very necessary, roll down!
With a negative turn of events, a person begins to feel a breakdown … — this is quite understandable, because the mechanism of breakdown is built into the physiology of people so that we do not engage in activities in which we do not succeed. Built in at the hormonal level.
How does this happen? When we have succeeded and noted this, hormones are released in our body, giving a feeling of euphoria and joy of life. When we didn’t succeed, and even told ourselves about twenty times in the blackest colors about our defeat, we did everything so that our body was left without endorphins, and we ourselves slipped into a state of reduced energy.
But it is impossible to lie down and accumulate energy during a psychological decline in strength !!! Psychological energy from rest does not rise, that’s the catch.
We can get out of the state of decline — only through a series of victories, which we must organize ourselves!
Therefore: We are looking for where we can shine, where we will be praised, where our merits will be noted, where we will be admired.
Comrades, schedule such an event for yourself, organize your participation and shine.
- Gather your friends, sing for them, if you sing well.
- Gather your friends, lay a luxurious table if you are an excellent cook.
- Bring beauty, walk down the street, collect admiring glances.
- Are you good at debating? Go to a debate club.
- Are you athletic? Take part in some sporting event.
- Are you a good dancer? Run to the dance floor!
Basically, do something that makes you feel great.
By the way, remember how Yegor Prokudin in the film «Kalina Krasnaya» organized a holiday for the Winner? How did you raise your opinion of yourself and your self-esteem with your own hands? With knowledge of psychology approached the matter. True, he did not immediately determine which event participation allowed him to feel like a winner, but he acted in the right direction.
We won’t be left behind either! As Yegor said to himself: “Handsome! Come on, let’s shuffle to our hearts!» Be sure to plan for ourselves one, second, third well-known business and our own laurels of the winner in it! Our mood will immediately improve and strength will appear. Even with anticipation
This is a very affordable way to get out of apathetic states, and has long been known to all coaches. After a defeat in the ring: a boxer, for some time, is put against obviously weaker opponents so that he restores confidence in his abilities.
Isn’t that why we call our friends? Yes, yes, in order to remind us either of our joint victories, or that we are welcome! And the right hormone will bubble up in our body.
The main thing we need to remember is that if we are sliding into apathy, we need to urgently seek our victories! Organize fast! The salvation of the drowning is the work of the drowning!
And now you know how to save yourself from apathy.
