30% is what happens to us 70% is how we respond to it If you, like me, find yourself in a vacuum of information flow of events that are not directly related to you, but negatively affect your physical and psychological state, this post is for you. In my line of work, I took an online course from the University...

On the nth day of the war (and I've already stopped keeping a calendar), comes the final thought that this is your new life. No comforts, no regrets, no plans beyond the next hour. A survival strategy is being worked out. Psychologists write a lot about what the third stage is - when you have to stop hoping that just...

Soon we'll put on clean clothes, a fresh shirt, with the sleeves rolled up a bit. We take a shower, standing under the hot water for as long as necessary, not rushing out for fear of the sirens. Soon we'll cover ourselves with clean linens, crisp, cozy, and fall asleep in peace. Soon. Play the forgotten music again and dance playfully...

I quit smoking. My feat is two months old. And while this transition to the (perhaps) bright side is taking place, I noticed one thing. Man is such a creature - he always feels bad. I felt bad when I smoked. Thoughts about damage to health, self-injury on the theme of "get a grip, wimp," pressure from loved ones....

I have one exercise to lift my spirits. I do it when I get into a state of whining (which is a frequent guest of mine by virtue of my character). The exercise is simple, but very effective. And I remembered him for a reason. At this time before New Year's, which is the end of the year, many...

A story happened to me one day on New Year's E ve. It was a long time ago, about ten years ago. That December I was coming home from university late at night. In the half-empty bus, the rain hung heavy in some places, and people sat one by one, tired and droopy, staring out the windows with pensive...

Is there a cure for diseases, crises, and wars in the world? A universal antidote, the kind of elixir that can give us life? When I was younger, I was often sick. It was normal for me to take sick leave every month, to lie in an 8-bed ward every six months. "Ambulance" no longer caused panic attacks, and the...

The American ethicist John Calhoun's experiment, conducted with mice in 1972, was called Universe 25. Four mice were placed in ideal conditions. Clean water, good food and nests for the females. Thanks to fabulous comfort, after 315 days there were already 600 mice in the tank. The number of test subjects grew steadily. Until the tank became too cramped....

An ecosystem is a collection of organisms interacting with each other and with their environment in such a way that such a community can persist and function for a long period of time. An ecosystem can be created. This is just unbelievable! In a completely sealed space with a handful of earth, life is born that can sustain itself for...

Do you know what the difference is between the generations? To the same question, the young will always try to stick out their critical opinion, while the older will smile and say, "Stuff happens in life. But with each new day life throws us more and more difficult tasks, and I hear this phrase more and more often from people...
