Happy couples don't fight for equality in their relationship. They absolutely do not care about equal rights and opportunities, have you noticed? Happy couples complement each other. A woman wants to feel a strong shoulder nearby, and a man wants to receive care from his beloved woman. It's okay to make concessions sometimes, that's how relationships work!

Truth...

When you break a promise you made to yourself, you feel terrible. Well, if it starts to become a habit, you start to hate yourself. ▫️ You can't hide your bad mood from people who know you well - but this is not a reason to be impolite. ▫️Sometimes you have to exclude certain people from your life - even if they are part of your family. The best way to find peace is to look at the ocean of stars. There is no point in finishing a book that you don't like. Life is too short for that. Swallow your pride and put it back on the shelf. ▫️To master something new, it usually takes only a little more effort than something familiar. ▫️Life is a journey alone, but you often have fellow travelers attached to you.

Despite the fact that their “undesirability” is spoken from all the mouthpieces, such connections occur extremely often. A common cause, one location, close and long-term communication - all this contributes to the development of close feelings. I don't think I'm the only one who knows this. And also when there is time for a “normal” life because of the sea of ​​working affairs - otherwise it doesn’t happen at all. Work-home, work-home… My opinion is that if you are both free and not in a relationship, then there is nothing unacceptable in them. Well, except from the point of view of the employer, this can be a problem.

In any field of activity we need moderately difficult tasks in order to develop

Too easy work presents no opportunity for growth. Moreover, it makes us feel bored and dissatisfied with life. Look for tasks that require effort exceeding your overall level of responsibility. When you feel that you have completely mastered the situation, continue gradually moving toward the new level. An important remark: don't overdo it. Totally overwhelming goals can cause panic, which will not allow you to concentrate, so you need to maintain a healthy balance. The task should be slightly beyond your existing skills, but it should be doable anyway.

Signs of "toxic" job

No one is progressing. If you do the same type of work every day, don't learn anything interesting and don't acquire new skills, then sooner or later you will feel poisoned by this routine. Companies that want to avoid a "toxic" environment in their offices are engaged in staff development: they organize master classes, exchange of experience and refresher courses. Employees do not stand still, but help each other in the learning process, and the team becomes more cohesive. And "toxic" companies, on the contrary, forget about additional training of employees. Do you notice that you give all of yourself, but at the same time you find yourself in an environment that is not able to help you thrive socially, intellectually or physically? Perhaps it's time to change the situation?
