We've prepared even more ways of dealing with stress, so you can find the best solution for you.

There are many different ways to deal with stress. For each person, they can work in different ways. Read, try and find what is most effective for you!

We are used to thinking about the symptoms of stress as something psychic rather than physiological. Anxiety, nervousness, emotional exhaustion and even a bad mood - all these are characteristics for a person in nervous tension. However, stress seriously affects our physiology too. 

How much do we really influence what happens to us? Are we the only ones responsible for what goes on in our lives, or is it just a combination of circumstances and nothing can be done about it? Each person must answer this question for themselves. And their answer is determined by their personal locus of control. 

When we can't do something systematically, we think it's because we are not motivated enough. "I don't have enough motivation to finish a course in Italian", "I lost my motivation, so I stopped running in the morning". If we had a strong motivation, we would go through with it. This is not quite true.

Intelligence shows how effectively different areas of the brain are connected. The better the different areas communicate with each other, the less effort is spent on processing information and solving problems.

Have you ever heard of the idea that our thoughts determine our reality? Some agree with this, while others don't. When we talk about our own expectations from other people, these expectations can determine people's behavior. As a result, it can lead to the fact that we are finally convinced of our assumptions.
This is what the Pygmalion effect, also known as the Rosenthal effect, speaks of. 

Psychosomatics is a branch of medicine and psychology that studies the influence of psychological factors (character and personality traits, behavior styles) on the occurrence and course of bodily diseases. 
In modern medicine, it is believed that the occurrence of any disease is affected by many reasons. And psychological ones are one of them.

Keeping all the things we need to do in our head, consumes the resources of our brain. Resources that could be used for solving a particular problem. But we expect them not to forget anything.
If you are interested in becoming more productive and want to unload your own brain for more important things, it would be a good idea to think about such a thing as planning.

"I will never be able to cope with this", "it's useless, nothing good will come out anyway" - have you ever had such thoughts? Have you ever been unable to stop actions that weren’t effective or to initiate something that was vital?
Perhaps, it was a syndrome of learned helplessness in those situations.

Our brains are inclined to make decisions as quickly or even as hastily as possible. Some people have the ability to make important decisions faster than others. This trait is passed on through natural selection and it is human nature to make cognitive biases.

There are many theories about how our intellect work, and it is not clear which one of them is correct. In the 1970s, Raymond Cattell proposed the separation of intelligence into fluid and crystallized.
