The Curious Taste of British Food

Чувства и эмоции тесно связаны с нашими внутренними качествами, они просто являются отражением того, что происходит у нас внутри. Мы часто боимся и отрицаем собственные эмоции, путаем эмоции с чувствами, чувства с состояниями.
Проведя не одно исследование, ученые убедились, что люди совсем не осознают своих эмоций.  нет, они не бесчувственные, они продолжают испытывать весь спектр эмоций, совершенно не понимая, какую именно эмоцию они испытывают в данный момент. Самый простой и распространенный вопрос на всех тренингах и психологических консультациях: «Что ты сейчас чувствуешь?» - ставит людей в тупик.
Совершенно невозможно разобраться со своими проблемами, если не можешь даже определить, что ты чувствуешь к тому или иному человеку или ситуации, или по поводу того или иного события.
Не только наши чувства и эмоции не осознаются сами по себе, но и их причины остаются для многих загадкой.
Эмоций и чувств огромное количество и окончательного их перечня нет ни в психологии, ни в физиологии. Причина этого в том, что многие эмоции и чувства - это явления исключительно социальные. Появление новых эмоций или приобретение ими иного значения обусловлено развитием общества. Многие эмоции и чувства мы не ощущаем при рождении, а учимся им у наших родителей, родственников, друзей, знакомых. Все они вместе взятые с самого раннего детства показывают и рассказывают нам, что мы должны чувствовать, как и в каких ситуациях. Если ты не испытываешь определенную гамму чувств и ощущений по какому-то конкретному поводу, тебя считают странным, не от мира сего или и того лучше – бесчувственным и  эгоистичным.
Пора «вынуть голову из песка» и разобраться, что мы чувствуем на самом деле, что вызвало у нас эту эмоцию и кто нас «научил» чувствовать именно так, а не иначе.
А вы эмоциональный человек?

5 Steps to Business Habit Stacking

STEP 1
Identify 1-3 key habits you want to focus on developing that will have the biggest positive impact on your business. These should be habits that are relatively easy to implement but provide high value such as daily planning, delegating tasks or networking. Focus on habits that are specific, measurable actions you can take each day to make progress towards your goals.

STEP 2
Choose an existing daily habit you already have as an anchor. This could be making your bed, taking your vitamins or checking email. The anchor habit should be something quick and easy you already do daily. Picking an anchor you already do each morning or evening will help cue the new habits without adding extra effort.

STEP 3
Immediately follow your anchor habit with one of the key habits you identified. For example, if your anchor is checking email in the morning, follow it with taking 10 minutes to plan your day. Doing the new habit right after the anchor will help the cues become associated over time.

STEP 4
Repeat the key habit daily, right after your anchor habit, until it becomes a routine. It may take 21-30 days for a new habit to stick so be patient and consistent. Don't try to build multiple habits at once. Staying focused on one habit at a time will help it to form more successfully without overload.

STEP 5
Once the first key habit is a routine, add the second by stacking it after your anchor and initial habit. For example, your routine is now check email > plan your day > delegate one task. Continue stacking until all your key habits are locked in. Stacking new habits onto existing routines helps you develop multiple productive habits efficiently.
