Money is the greatest invention of mankind

To measure happiness with money ... The approach is not only stupid, but also dangerous! If you do not have a million, this does not mean that "life has failed." In March of this year, the brilliant mathematician Grigory Perelman from St. Petersburg refused to accept the Millennium Award, worth $ 1 million, awarded to him for solving one of the greatest mysteries of mankind - the proof of the Poincare conjecture. The only comment was "I do not need money." I have everything I need. " Money is the greatest invention of mankind, and this says a lot.

Beautifully live

Once a year, you need to change the phone, every five years - the car, every three months to completely update the wardrobe. Vacation should be spent in the best hotels of Europe. Crimea and Turkey - for losers, the dacha is generally beyond the bounds of decency. All according to the canons of the modern code of "successful man." Practical substantiation of this position has not. But, despite the crisis, the "brainwashing machine" continues to work in full force. Artificially created images of well-being stimulate consumer instincts, forcing them to buy, buy, buy - it does not matter whether some goods are needed and, most importantly, they can afford. However, not so long ago it became clear: it is simply impossible to spend so much. In order to maintain a similar lifestyle, you need to work without sleep and rest. Although this does not guarantee the level that is considered "worthy" in the consumer society. Hence the depression, complexes and complete surrender before the economic crisis.

What do you want?

The notorious "consumer basket" (a set of goods and services that are objectively necessary to meet the priority human needs, established by the state), note, does not include delicacies, luxury goods and alcoholic beverages. Moreover, the listed underwear, clothes, shoes and other items of long-term consumption require updating based on the time frame in which the item comes into disrepair, and not just out of fashion. Of course, the existence of such a list is not at all an excuse to really give a wife one tie every five years. But to try to comprehend the difference between "I want" and "so it is accepted" would not be superfluous. Absolute wealth does not exist. Even very wealthy people are experiencing a shortage of funds - even on their own island, but the fact remains. To have everything is impossible. Purchases can not give happiness. A cream from a well-known firm, designer dress, a car with a million horsepower can bring a sense of satisfaction, cheer up. This is maximum. Is it not expensive you decided to pay for these little things? All people are different, and there are no universal recipes. Claiming that you will like mad at this resort, advertisers godlessly lie - after all, you have not been there, and there are no grounds for such withdrawal. Everyone - his own, and do not allow yourself to cut yourself under one comb, even with the whole world. Ask yourself questions, doubting the need for shopping. If you immediately get an answer to them, you can ... safely refuse to buy. The true desire is inexplicable. Do not forget about the so-called compensation. Everybody drives cars, and you're on the subway? But do not stand in traffic jams. Everyone's husband is a millionaire, but you do not? But you are unique and unique for him.

Do not panic!

Dismissal, loss of savings, a drop in the level of well-being - events are not pleasant. However, there are no objective reasons for panic or fear. Uncertainty about the future is not news for the Ukrainian. The crisis, any other time of perestroika, is, first of all, the destruction of the habitual way of life. Do not panic. This, like any other condition, must be used! We are not afraid of winter, but we wear beautiful fur coats and skiing; we are not afraid of rain, just pour ourselves a cup of tea, pick up an interesting book and enjoy the time that is free. So first of all, think - how can you use the proposed conditions? In this case, your childish desires can help you - remember who you wanted to be as a child? Maybe worth a try? The psyche of most women, fortunately, does not differ by increased rigidity. This allows us to better bear the stresses caused by changes. However, without sufficient motivation, cardinal life changes can be a powerful blow. We offer 5 true ways to avoid panic during major changes. Keep in mind the entire list of reasons that prompted you to change your life. Do not forget also that changes are not only the best cure for boredom and laziness, but also a step forward that you have made! Plan at least the near future. Organized and pedantic people are easier to pour into new life circumstances. Planned changes lose half of stress. Prepare to meet with "nostalgia": remember all the shortcomings of your past life. Changing the place of work, sphere of activity, way of life, you will inevitably come across the effect of "flashback". An anxious mentality will systematically give you themes and images that are ideally suited to nibble on the past, to breathe, and at times to cry. At the moment of weakness, "take out of your sleeve" hidden trumps. Remember - it was not all so bright! From a distance everything looks much more attractive than from a close distance, do not yield to the provocation of your subconscious. Solve problems as they arrive. In your new life, at first inevitably there will be certain inconveniences and annoying little things. Using the famous principle of Miss O'Hara "I'll think about it tomorrow," do not frighten yourself with attempts to imagine how hard everything will be, decide at last for the cardinal changes. Do not get hung up on your old ideals. Losing the job, we are deprived of the very "sweet carrot" that the company and society hung out before us. It was under their influence that you thought it was good to be like accountant Mary Bath, which reduces the balance for half an hour and has been working in one place for 40 years. Now you decide what is good and what is bad. So choose new idols!

Do not understand mine at all ...

The crisis is, first of all, the destruction of the habitual way of life. Do not panic! Like any proposed condition, it simply needs to be used! To change your life, you need to go a long way, full of obstacles and resistance, including those from close people. How can you explain that you are different now? There are several time-tested methods that will allow you to perform such a "steep pike" with virtually no loss. Prepare ways for retreat. The main thing that your loved ones are afraid of is mistakes. What if after a change your life becomes worse? Inform them about all your backup plans. It is not superfluous to slightly embellish the situation. Talk more with your family. Explain the reasons for your actions, clearly pronouncing all the circumstances that made you decide on such a sharp and, perhaps, unexpected turn of events. Demonstrate your own calmness and determination. Get family members to respect your decisions. Coping with the consequences of the crisis, we are forming a new system of values. It is the best time for personal growth.
