Change Yourself or Die!

Do you want your bright head to be visited by brilliant ideas? Already a lot of books read and surfed the entire Internet. But there is no trace of the arrival of new ideas. I will teach you a little secret, but first answer my question: What did you do the day before? Not many people can answer this question in a moment, for many of us one day is like another.

So what's the secret? Stop making every day the same things. Start the change with little things that do not require money. Practical Tips:

- Put the alarm clock every morning at different times

- Change the order of morning procedures

- Change your driving directions from home to work

- Alternate car with motorcycle

- Come to work at different times

- Alternate elevator with stairs

- Have lunch and dinner in different places and with different people

- Do the evening walk in different places

- Rest in different countries

- Change your clothes every day

stop me someone:)

We can continue for a long time. It is clear that all the above tips a bit hard to do. But it is worth trying. And in the near future, you will notice that you will have just ideas at first, and then brilliant ideas! Change yourself or die!

And to say good-bye in a good way, I tell you a wonderful story:

During the war the Germans in a concentration camp taunted prisoners and forced them to carry bricks from one pile to another. And then back again. Many could not withstand this monotonous work and ended up committing suicide. Once in the camp came an architect and he began to fold instead of a heap of bricks different shapes: pyramids, palaces, castles, etc. The Germans were shocked when the prisoners did not simply drove trucks, they fled. They wanted to see what new figure awaits them at this time. It is clear that none of the prisoners did not think of suicide again.

Psychiatrists on bank notes.



For many years there is a custom to put the image of national heroes on the bills, so there are images of four psychiatrists. Sigmund Freud (1856-1940), his image you may find on modern Austrian banknotes in denominations of 50 shillings. After studying medicine at the University of Vienna, he later worked in Paris under Charcot. Based on the numerous experiences recounted to Freud by his patients, he formulates the concept of sexual fantasies. In 1902, Freud and his friends organize a psychological circle, which meets weekly to discuss relevant scientific issues. In 1909, this group establishes the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society, which becomes the International Psychoanalytical Association in 1912. In 1923, Freud published his work "Nhe Ego and Id".
Benjamin Rush (1745-1813), his picture appeared on the back side of the 2-dollar bills in 1976. He received the title of Bachelor of Arts in 15 years and became a doctor of medicine in 1768. He published several medical papers, and treatises against slavery. Between 1789 and 1796, he received three titles of professor of medicine. His last book, "Medical research and surveillance of diseases of the brain", published in 1812 was the first work in the field of psychiatry, established in the United States.
Auguste Henri Forel (1848-1931),image of this psychiatrist can be found on the modern Swiss banknotes in 1000 francs. He is the most famous and progressive Swiss psychiatrist of the 19th century. Forel was the first scientist who prepared a psychological picture of the human brain, and later gave a precise description of the hypothalamus, one of the divisions of which was named "campus Foreli". In 1879 he was promoted to Professor of Psychiatry, Medical Faculty, University of Zurich, and introduced the systematic teaching of forensic psychiatry. In 1888, Forel has made compulsory the teaching of psychiatry at the medical faculty.
Julius Wagner Jauregg (1857-1940). Face the Austrian psychiatrist, appeared on 500-shiling banknote of National Bank in 1953. He received his medical degree in 1890 at the Vienna University. Jauregg became a professor of psychiatry and neurology at the University of Graz in 1889, and four years later he moved to Vienna. In 1917, he proposed malaria therapy as a treatment for progressive paralysis to very unstable patients and by this saved thousands of lives. Wagner von Jauregg deservedly received the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1927.

How do people become drug addicts?



One of the characteristics of nowadays and a significant cause of drug addiction and alcoholism - the widest expansion of various substances that can give a person a temporary pleasure. Some drugs can cause physical dependence (for example, opium, heroin, etc.), in which the body can not live without the drug, some psychological, but anyway, the termination of the use of these substances can cause withdrawal syndrome that is, the special psychological and physical condition of the body, sometimes leading to death. Use of certain drugs may lead to the development of tolerance, when the body becomes resistant to their effects, which require ever-increasing doses.

Reasons why people begin using drugs are different, but most often it is the desire to escape the doldrums, to leave the cruel and indifferent world, in its own artificially created paradise. It is not accidental that in most cases these are young people who see no other way out of their problems. One reason for initiation to alcohol and drugs is "bad family”, where education is provided either by only one parent, or where there are this atmosphere, down in the house: lack of emotional closeness and trust between family members. Mostly juveniles are beginning to use drugs from families in which children and teenagers are left for themselves.

Adults are so busy clarifying the relationship that they don’t have enough time for the child. However, this is not the only reason. There are drug-addicted families where one or both parents suffer from alcoholism or drug addiction. The probability of initiation to bad cravings for children from such families is increased by twice. Children of drug addicts is not only very early attached to the narcotic effect, but also begin their lives with drugs of the most severe forms of drug addiction - the use of household chemicals. But no less dangerous for initiation to alcohol and drugs other minor conditions in the family. Where child is watched over and supervised, monitored his every move, not giving the slightest opportunity to show independence. These children make even those actions which they understand "wrong", "no good", simply because they can not refuse.

Now, let’s speak about “normal” families, where parents just drink sometimes. In this case, child associate alcoholic drinks on the table with the atmosphere of celebration, fun in the house. Connection with that drinks seems attractive, as it helps to become more like a father and his friends - strong, brave, adult. This is the first their acquaintance with alcohol. Of course, not necessarily that it will inevitably lead to the formation of drug dependence. The problem of drug abuse in recent years is not just youth, but also teenage problem. Today, every second student aged 13 to 15 years at least once was proposed to taste drugs.

Approximately one third of them took advantage of this proposal. One of the factors for the early initiation to drug addiction - age psychological features of children and adolescents. The most disadvantaged in this respect are children and adolescents with unstable type of character, as well as striving to be the center of attention of others. For the sake of popularity they are ready to make even those actions that their soul does not approve. An introduction to drugs for them often has no independent significance, and is used in just for "their own glory." And teens can highly exaggerate their drug experience, portraying the experienced addict in order to attract attention.
