Psychological facts

Did you know that our brains have a negativity bias and will remember bad memories more than good ones? 😨 But don’t worry, whenever your mind brings some bad memories connected to a person or a place just close your eyes and think of a good memory that you can replace it with 🤗 Let all bad emotions go 😉

What works for you best?

More waiting, less prepared, less waiting, more you get. I’ve noticed that e.g. when I don’t feel like going to a party or some event it turns out to be amazing. And when I can’t wait and countdown to some event I am disappointed by it later. Do you have similar thing? So whenever you see a closed door don’t imagine big things behind it! 😅 expect little and you may be surprised!

Did you know that people who swear a lot tend to be more loyal, upfront and honest with friends? 😅 It’s just how it works – whoever has the ‘courage’ to swear out loud has the courage to be honest about his/her opinion and won’t lie to a friend!

It helps me a lot. You should try it too! 😊
