If you want to be happy, stop controlling EVERYTHING.

Image
  No, I'm not calling you for chaos. Just stop demanding anything from your loved ones and persuading them that things should be the way you want them to be. You've been asking your husband to fix a leaking faucet for three months, but it led to nothing -  so you get annoyed. Or, for example, you ask your son to turn off the computer, but he doesn't quit the game all day long - you panic🔥. The key is that as long as you push someone, nothing will change. In the first case it is important to focus attention on yourself, in the second - on the relationship with the child, but in a different scenario👐🏻 Stop CONTROLLING everything. It takes up a ton of resources and your nerves if something goes wrong. Trust the universe, your family, your kids. Let them learn how to live their own life and try to do the same to make yourself feel needed by other means.

G-7 ministers agree on 5 principles to govern AI, emerging tech

Image
 TAKASAKI , Japan:- Ministers  from the Group of Seven industrialized nations agreed Saturday on five principles for developing agile forms of governance for emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, in light of the rapid spread of AI chatbot use worldwide. The digital and technology ministers, who began a two-day meeting in the Gunma Prefecture city of Takasaki, northwest of Tokyo, also agreed on the urgent need to promote debate on standards for the responsible use of AI. The five principles of the rule of law, due process, democracy, respect for human rights and harnessing opportunities for innovation will be included in a joint communique to be released at the end of the meeting, which comes ahead of a G-7 summit next month in Hiroshima. "While advancement of AI technologies can make business of the government and the private sector more efficient and more productive, it could create unexpected challenges to democracy," Japan's Digital Minister Taro Kono...

Hit, run, freeze!

Image
  Actually, these are the default settings of our psyche when reacting to stress. Our brain can be divided into three basic units: the reptilian brain, the emotional limbic brain, and the neocortex. The reptile brain is composed of the brainstem that develops in utero and manages the life support functions. It's responsible for our "freeze" response. This is when fear makes our legs go weak. The emotional limbic brain is the mammalian brain that develops in the first 5-6 years after birth. It is responsible, in particular, for the "hit and run" reaction. In general, it includes any active reaction to danger. The prefrontal cortex (frontal lobes) is responsible for planning and predicting, perceiving the time and context and controlling things. So during a crisis that is perceived as dangerous, this important part of the brain shuts down. And the body switches to the "hit and run" or "freeze" mode. Does this behavior sound familiar to you?

What is the key to happiness?

 ▪ Silence. Refrain from oversharing. Neither about the past, nor about the present, nor about your plans for later. As little information about yourself as possible. ▪️ A private person is a calm person . Such a person does not worry about anything that is said or done behind her or his back. Such a person doesn’t care. He or she moves and lives the whole life in silence. ▪ Be confident and persistent . Do not live in a fool’s paradise, nobody owes you anything. You can make it on your own! ▪ Do not ask for help. Help yourself first. And live in silence. Quietly. At peace with yourself. In tranquility. ▪️ Always treat yourself! Forget dreaming about the new iPad for $1,000, start earning money and buy it! Live freely and beautifully to the maximum! ▪ Always be Human, no matter what happens. Silent and kind. Honest. Know your worth. Live your life. Do not say too much. Never say you have a bad life.

How to be confident

Image
 ▫️ Learn to let go People, interests, experience. All this gives you confidence: when you say goodbye to what you no longer need, something no longer relevant, you begin to look forward to new perspectives and new changes in life. ▫️ Don't gossip about, don't discuss, and don't judge others Don't look for flaws in other people – work on yourself, only then will you be able to build your self-esteem. Don't waste your time discussing someone else's life. Focus on yourself. It will be a more competent investment of time and energy. ▫️ Respond to failures and mistakes adequately Yes, it's upsetting, yes, it's unsettling. But this is not a reason to give up and doubt yourself. Try again and again. Everything that happens helps to reconsider your views, form an opinion, learn new things and, perhaps, turn to the truly right path. Stop being afraid of mistakes – if they happen, then it's a sign that something in your life needs to be changed for the better...

Is there a correct way to have a fight?

Image
 ✔️ "Right here, right now" To avoid fighting, it’s important to discuss your problems on time. People forget the details of events, emotions subside, then, suddenly, someone comes along and begins to remember what happened six months ago. ✔️ "Fighting fire with fire" Words can be compared to a weapon, like a bat. When a person attacks a loved one, he must be ready to get a response, because the other person will defend her/himself. ✔️ "Timeout" At such moments it's important to give yourself a break — a few minutes alone with yourself.

How to build resilience?

Image
  There are situations in life when there is too much stress and you need to be able to be resilient to it, otherwise the end will be dire. Here are 2 tips that can help to improve your stress tolerance: 💡 Mental attitude. Stress release depends on our thoughts among other things.

Take care of yourself 💕

Image
  Only by taking care of ourselves can we give attention and share energy to our loved ones. What you can do for yourself: ✔️ Write down all the things you don't like as well as that you don't want to do. For example: don't check email late at night, don't go to the events and parties you don't like, don't answer the phone during lunch and dinner. ✔️ Stick to a healthy and balanced diet. ✔️ Get enough sleep. An adult needs seven or eight hours of sleep. ✔️ Do sports or fitness. Many people don't know this fact, but physical activity benefits our mental health, not just the physical one. It increases serotonin levels, which in turn improves mood and boosts energy. Keeping in mind the rules of self-care, choose the type of physical activity you enjoy. ✔️ Don't put off necessary preventive check-ups or visits to your doctor. ✔️ Regularly do relaxation exercises and/or meditate. Self-care Right now, give a clear definition of self-care in all areas of huma...

I'm a loser!

Image
  ✔️ She's so touchy! ✔️ You're such a bore! ⠀ People tend to stick unhealthy labels on themselves or others instead of analyzing mistakes made in a particular situation. When a person thinks in terms of cliches, it leads to negative and unpleasant consequences. ⠀ So what to do about it? ▫️ Learn to keep track of such cliches. ▫️ When you catch yourself thinking in this way, focus on the actual meaning of that label. What criteria did you use to realize, for example, that you are a loser? ▫️ Is the label helpful? What way? ▫️ Recall and analyze those certain situations that disprove the negative tag. For example, you had a successful interview and got a job. But what's to be done if you labeled yourself? It's better to stop such attempts right away, just don't let them happen.
