The Energy of Pleasure and Joy: How Women Attract Opportunities

When a woman is filled with pleasure and joy, energy, she creates a certain energy field around her, which attracts both men and opportunities. She glides through life, enjoying every moment: the taste of honey with truffles, the play of sunbeams in her hair, admiring the frozen eternity of an icicle, the gentle sounds of music, the intricate patterns of fabric in her dress, the laughter of a child, and chitchats with friends.

Why do we choose the wrong partners and turn marriage into a mistake?

We don't understand ourselves. When we look for a suitable partner, our requirements for them are quite vague. Something like: we want to find someone kind, cheerful, attractive, and ready for adventures. Not that these desires are wrong, but they are loosely connected to what we will actually demand in hopes of being happy, or rather, not constantly unhappy.

Why do we choose the wrong ones and turn marriage into a mistake?

We don't understand other people. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that other people are also stuck at a low level of self-awareness. They are unable to understand what is happening to them, let alone explain it to someone else. Naturally, we try to get to know each other better. We meet each other's families, visit places that are important to them, look at photos, and meet their friends. This gives us a sense of completing our homework, but it's like launching a paper airplane and claiming that now you can pilot an aircraft.

Why do we choose the wrong ones and turn marriage into a mistake?

We are not accustomed to being happy. We believe that we are searching for happiness in love, but it's not that simple. Sometimes it seems like we are seeking such close relationships that can only complicate the attainment of happiness. We recreate in adult relationships some of the feelings we experienced in childhood when we first realized and understood what love means.

Why do we choose the wrong person and turn marriage into a mistake?

We are convinced that being alone is horrible. Unbearable loneliness is not the best emotional state for making a rational choice of a partner. We must come to terms with the prospect of long years of solitude in order to have a chance to form good relationships. Otherwise, we will love the feeling of no longer being alone more than the partner who saved us from loneliness.

Why do we choose the wrong ones and turn marriage into a mistake?

We believe that we are special. Statistics are ruthless, and each of us has seen plenty of examples of terrible marriages. We have witnessed acquaintances and friends who tried to break these bonds. We know perfectly well that marriage can bring major problems. Yet, we struggle to apply this understanding to our own lives: it seems to us that it happens to others, but it cannot happen to us.

How to Survive a Breakup

Less attention to social media, more attention to yourself. Meet new people, call/visit your loved ones, go to the museum you've always wanted to visit, go to the theater, cinema. Think about what you have been putting off for a long time? Maybe you have long dreamed of doing yoga or learning to dance, or taking up crafts. Now is the time for it. Especially if the activities are group ones. This will allow you to distract yourself and fill the emotional void.

How to Survive a Breakup

Stop seeking the past emotions. After a breakup, we still seek for the past emotions and experiences. We continue to look at photos, scroll through social media, and reread conversations.

How to Survive a Breakup

Accept the Pain. When experiencing loss, the brain activates the region responsible for physical pain, which is why it feels like it actually hurts.

Give yourself time to mourn the past.

Second-born children more likely to exhibit delinquent behavior

Second-born children, especially boys, are found to be more prone to rebellious behavior, according to scientists.

The Illusion of Endurance: Love Can't Bear Everything

Never think that love can endure all. This is a great misconception. A person can love you more than life itself, but if they feel unhappy, sooner or later they will reach their limit.

We often hear that negative emotions should not be suppressed, but accepted and worked through. Can this be done without getting stuck in endless reflection and regret? Try the following methods. 1.

During internal dialogue, focus on third-person pronouns: he, she, they.

The knowledge that everything is passing is reassuring.
