9 Things Experts Don’t Recommend to Do Before Bed
A good night’s sleep recharges your system, lowers stress levels, promotes weight loss, and even makes you live longer. Some popular pre-bed habits most of us have can deprive you of all that. If you want to fall asleep easily and get enough of healthy sleep every night, you have to follow some simple but very effective rules. Even though we tend to think that working up a good sweat at the gym will only help us fall asleep faster, that’s not always the case. The trick here is to finish your workout 3-4 or even 6 hours before you go to bed. You can have some water in the evenings, you just need to experiment and find your perfect amount. The National Sleep Foundation states that, in general, most people sleep well through the night after just an 8 oz glass of water before bed. Try to limit naps to 20 minutes because longer naps require you to wake up from a deeper sleep. As a result, they'll only make you feel groggy afterwards instead of refreshed. Working late increases the chances of you spending the next few hours lying in bed thinking about all your tasks. Instead, clear your mind, create a plan for tomorrow, and write it down. You won't be at your best if don't get proper sleep, so put everything away and relax. Be extremely careful with pills, especially prescription meds, since they can have all kinds of effects on your sleep. Some cause drowsiness while others can make you super alert. This is especially true of antidepressants. Painkillers also don’t contribute to healthy sleep, so use precaution when taking them before bed. Many people think that a hot bath contributes to good sleep, but that's just one more popular myth. The truth is that it's a change in temperature that helps us fall asleep, not the hot bath or shower itself. And the higher this temperature difference is, the more we want to sleep.

If You See This On Your Car, Don't Touch It And...
How to Protect Yourself from Car Thieves. Criminals regularly invent new scam schemes to rid you of your car or belongings that you forgetfully leave in it. The only way to protect your car from being stolen and save yourself from thieve attacks is to stay alert and well-informed and follow some essential safety tips. How to deal with a GPS tracker on your car 1:03 Criminals use magnetic GPS trackers they can even throw out of the window of their car that is passing by your vehicle. The trackers will lead robbers to your flat or house. In addition, they will be able to find out when you leave your car in a deserted place and get inside. If you locate a magnetic tracker attached to your car, remove it in a random place that is far from your home or work and is off the way to these locations. After you remove the tracker, take a photo of the device to provide some evidence to the police. How to stay safe abroad 4:30 People tend to feel more relaxed on holiday that's why they just don't register the same threat they are well aware of in their home country. For example, in Spain, there have been numerous cases when criminals targeted drivers of foreign-registered cars. When abroad, always park your car in sight, if you leave your car, take all valuable belongings with you. Be extra cautious of those people who flag you down. "Smash-and-grab" approach 5:30 Car robbers come up to your car when you're waiting at a traffic light or suffer in a traffic jam, smash the car window, and grab anything expensive they can see. While you can do nothing with waiting in the traffic, you can cover the windows of your car with a protective safety film. How to ensure the safety of your car 6:25 Leave your doors open and your windows rolled down if you park your car in a "bad" neighborhood. If you want to make your vehicle unappealing to car robbers, make it as messy inside as possible. Don't leave anything (literally anything) in sight. Make sure that the measures you've taken to protect your car are visible. Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS How to deal with a GPS tracker on your car 1:03 How to stay safe abroad 4:30 "Smash-and-grab" approach 5:30 How to ensure the safety of your car 6:25 SUMMARY -If you see a GPS tracker on your car, be extremely cautious. Criminals use them to stalk you, pure and simple. -When abroad, be extra cautious of those people who flag you down. Your valuables should be not only out of reach but also out of sight. -Robbers need a fast getaway. If they have to bash your car window again and again, they will most likely get caught. So, do everything you can to make your windows as impact-absorbent as possible. -Leave anything that has value (CD's, sports equipment, GPS, suitcases) in the trunk of your car. Park in well-lit areas. Under a street lamp, criminals feel uncomfortable and exposed. If you want to make your vehicle unappealing to car robbers, make it as messy inside as possible.

In case you love your pets and want to take good care of them and keep them healthy, pay attention to even the slightest changes in their behavior and take necessary measures immediately. For the sake of your pets and to protect them, keep an eye out for these 10 warning signs your pet needs help. TIMESTAMPS Coughing 0:53 Vomiting 2:02 A swollen belly 3:02 Lethargy 4:26 Abnormal restlessness 4:46 Unexplained weight loss 5:31 Excessive licking 6:21 Urinating more or less frequently 7:13 Hair loss or itching 8:22 Lack of appetite 8:54 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -Kennel cough can be more serious for puppies, kittens, and breeds with pushed-in faces because their face shape may cause additional breathing difficulties. -Vomiting can stem from gastrointestinal illnesses, pancreatitis, kidney disease, or parasitic infections. Blood in the vomit is a major red flag that could indicate your pet has gulped down a sharp object that’s irritating its stomach. -Undiagnosed abnormal swelling in the stomach could potentially be life-threatening as it puts additional pressure on the chest cavity and makes it hard for your dog or cat to breathe. -Weakness or lethargy in dogs and cats usually accompanies all kinds of infections and serious diseases like diabetes, hypoglycemia, and anemia. -If your dog or cat is being anxious or looks scared for no reason and is constantly pacing, shaking, or whining, this can point to a range of health issues including mange, rabies, Cushing's disease, or heart problems. -If your dog or cat has lost 10% of its normal body weight, it could be a sign of a serious issue, such as a metabolic disorder, kidney or liver problems, neuromuscular disease, or cancer. -The most common reason why your cat or dog is excessively cleaning the same spot could be from pain or itching caused by fleas or an allergy. -If your pet is peeing more frequently than it used to, it can be a sign of diabetes. -If your cat or dog starts losing hair on or around its ears, this can be a sign of fleas, ticks, ear mites, or mange. -If your pet hasn’t touched their food for more than 24 hours, it can be a sign of stress, pain, or fever.

7 Traits of a Strong Personality Any Person Can...
Taking the positive personality traits you have for granted, you don't always consider ways to develop and improve your own character. Some strong personality traits require consistent effort before they really become a part of who you are. If you're ready for some hard work, you can start your way to a better and more successful self! A psychological study has been conducted recently at Ohio State University. It has been found out that your career plans are influenced by the level of your self-esteem! 67 undergraduate students with majors in psychology or business participated in this research. It has turned out that the more confident and encouraged by professors students were, the bigger dreams about the future they had. People who are always ready to help don't always get gratitude from others. Paradoxically, this feature is rarely appreciated, and any help is most often perceived as a normal thing. Moreover, any situation where you give more than you receive or share something that you lack provokes stress. People like those who have fun personalities and can laugh at themselves and their failures. Laughter helps to cope with stress, see positivity, and communicate with others. Despite a common misconception, the highest-performing employees don't overwork, as studies show. Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Self-confidence 0:50 The ability to say "No" 2:02 Sense of humor 3:37 Hard-working 4:40 The ability to read other people 5:51 The ability to attract people 6:52 The ability to control the reactions of your body 7:54 SUMMARY -A great way to feel more confident is to do physical exercise! What is more, stop perceiving the reactions of other people as the rules that you need to follow. -Remember that it's possible to say "no" at any moment. Don't be afraid to offend a person by your refusal since it's likely that you aren't the only person who can help. -Watch how other people reply to comments with a joke that gets met by even more jokes. Don't get offended at the slightest thing and learn to laugh at yourself. -For better results and performance, turn off any messengers, put your phone on vibrate, and don't listen to music if it distracts you. Immerse yourself in the task that you need to complete. -In order to understand the motives of other people and to see the reasons behind their behavior, it's necessary to pay attention to what they are saying and doing, where they are looking, and who makes them smile. Combine the clues and you'll see the truth. -When talking to someone, try to make an eye contact, look at the companion in a calm and relaxed way. Don't forget to smile. -To develop this ability, you need to learn to determine and understand your emotions. A fast heartbeat, tense muscles, and a lack or excess of energy or appetite are all signs of anxiety. It's possible to calm yourself down with the help of breathing exercises and meditation.

8 Habits Poor People Do And Rich Don't
How to become rich and successful without working hard? In some sense, poverty isn't a lack of money but a particular life program that people create in their mind. Here're 8 habits of a poor person as well as the reasons that can prevent you from getting rich and living a wealthy life. TIMESTAMPS If you stop working, you won't be able to support your habitual lifestyle for longer than 3 months. 1:02 You are in a constant search for sales. 1:52 It takes you more than an hour to get to work. 2:46 You have some bills that you can hardly pay. 3:46 You aim for immediate profit. 5:19 You spend money before you have earned it. 6:11 You have drifted away from your family. 7:26 You expect that the government will change your life for the better. 8:15 SUMMARY There are numerous examples when a poor person became rich without any family support or a substantial inheritance. In other cases, people had all personal qualities and possibilities necessary to earn a lot but they were too unsure of themselves to take the first step. If you feel that you're one of such people, don't get desperate. Create a so-called financial safety cushion. To do this, put some money aside every month. What is even better, try to find a source of passive income: it can be an investment in real estate, shares, or securities. If you always look for price tags with a magic word "discount" on them or try to buy goods only at sales, you have another habit of a poor person. The same goes for buying cheap things. The best thing you can do is to find an accommodation close to your work or figure out a way to spend as little time as possible to get there. If both options are unacceptable, use the time you spend on the way effectively: studying foreign languages or reading career-related books. If you pay loans for your mobile phone, car, furniture, and even traveling, something has gone wrong. There's a rule that says that debt payments shouldn't be more than 40 percent of your earnings. It's better to accept a job offer from a serious company with a lower starting salary: this will give you an opportunity to build a career and earn much more after some time. Don't concentrate on the sum of money you'll get after the first months of work. Think globally. Banks have pretty long periods during which you don't have to pay interest fees. However, this is just one more clever psychological trick. You'll be surprised how many people believe that they can achieve something worthy only acting on their own, separated from their family. But in fact, the situation is opposite: a person can't build a successful career or start a profitable business without a support of their family. Poor people often believe that while they have been working for all their life, the government should pay them more than enough when they retire. They count on social security to support them after they stop working. And exactly here there's a difference between poor and rich people. While people with low income spend most of their money on housing, those who have high income invest in retirement expenses and insurance, according to the data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

10 Proven Ways to Speed Up Your Weight Loss
You can lose belly fat and slim down your legs in less than a month. A gym membership and healthy food are luxuries that not everyone can afford. And some of us are simply too busy or lazy to put in the time and effort. As a result, obesity rates tripled between 1975 and 2017, with about 1.9 billion adults across the world seriously struggling with their weight. The good news is that there are some simple yet proven ways to make weight loss a lot easier and way more effective. TIMESTAMPS Eat before eating. 0:37 Spice up your food. 1:18 Eat healthy snacks. 2:44 Sleep more. 3:37 Drink a lot of tea. 4:28 Embrace the color blue. 5:15 Stop multitasking. 6:15 Laugh! 6:54 Sleep in the cold. 7:29 Turn off the lights. 8:08 SUMMARY Researchers at Penn State University have found that having a bowl of soup before a meal can help curb your appetite. Eating spicy food can temporarily boost your metabolism by up to 8%. Keep healthy snacks like sunflower seeds, almonds, sliced apples, mixed nuts, whole wheat crackers, Greek yogurt with berries, and low-fat cheese on hand. Getting proper rest is really important for your body to function well. Tea (particularly the green kind) is the better option because it contains a ton of antioxidants that can help you lose weight. People tend to eat less when there’s a higher color contrast between their plate and the food on it. When you multitask, your mind bounces from one job to another but doesn’t really focus on any one of them, and that includes thoughts of food. Having a good laugh sesh prolongs your life and gives you a mini aerobic workout. People who slept in rooms with a temperature of around 66° burned 7% more calories than those who slept in warmer rooms. Sleeping in dark places can slim the body down.

If You Connect to WiFi Without Password, You Mi...
You should stop using unsecure wi-fi networks and websites, running unknown programs, linking your phone to your social media accounts, skipping system upgrades and avoiding the “sandbox”. How to protect your computer and personal data from cyber attacks? Follow some simple rules to save your privacy, gadgets, and money and tackle hackers. Music: Clover 3 – Vibe Mountain https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... Triumph – Yung Logos https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Unsecured Wi-Fi networks 0:46 Weak encryption and a Wi-Fi router without a PIN 1:39 Unsecured sites 2:36 Unknown programs 3:27 Giving the approval to link accounts with unknown sites 4:08 Using your cell phone number as your social media login 4:47 Skipping on system upgrades 5:39 No “sandbox” 6:28 Suspicious emails and attachments 7:24 Synchronized data 8:27 SUMMARY Unsecured Wi-Fi that doesn’t require a password lets intruders monitor your activity and get your credit card numbers, emails, personal photos, and, most importantly, passwords. -Turn off the WPS method of authentication on your router’s website to protect your computer from hackers’ attacks. -Avoid sites without the lock symbol since they can be used to get information from your computer without your authorization. If you’re dealing with sites that require a login, like bank sites, check for the green bar alongside the green lock. -Allowing programs that you're unfamiliar with or whose names you haven’t heard of might seriously damage the security of your computer. -Try not to link your personal accounts to unknown sites to protect your account and your private information. -Intruders can divert the messages from your mobile device, so don't link your phone number with your social media accounts. -Using Windows XP or an older version of Windows increases your risk of getting hacked. -If you want to be more secure while visiting scrupulous sites, use a sandbox (a very strictly controlled environment where different programs can be run). -Don’t open unknown attachments and don’t even think about opening emails that look like spam. Instead, first scan the file using your anti-virus software and always check the header of the email. -Make it a strict rule to always back your data up offline in an external storage device like a hard drive or a flash drive.

8 Things Highly Intelligent People Won't Do
We constantly hear about the principles smart people live by and the habits that make them successful. But what about the things they don't do? Maybe these no-nos help them on their way to the top just as much the stuff they make sure to do? Let's take a look at what things highly intelligent people avoid doing and how this influences their lives for the better. TIMESTAMPS They always try to save money. 0:42 They don't rely on others. 1:38 They don't agree with something they don't like. 2:25 They don't hold grudges. 3:04 They don't count on luck. 3:50 They don't give up on their ideas. 4:39 They don't dwell on the past. 5:34 They don't let other people bring them down. 6:24 SUMMARY One of the many useful skills clever people certainly possess is being in control of their finances. Just stop and think: can't you make it work yourself? Your fear of doing something wrong is just an imaginary roadblock standing in your way. “No” is one of the most useful words ever, and you shouldn't be afraid to use it. It saves you time, helps you steer clear of unwanted obligations. The truth is that holding grudges is useless and doesn't help the situation at all. Learn to let go and free yourself from any negative energy. Intelligent people would just rather be ready for any possible outcome. Just because a couple of people think that it's not gonna work doesn't mean that you should quit doing something you love. Smart people aren't ashamed of blunders and don't constantly replay them over and over again in their minds. Intelligent people realize that and know that not everybody is gonna like them. And that's okay because just like all other people, they aren't here to be liked. Music - https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/...

Don't Throw Away These Bags, See What They Can Do!
Whenever you buy a new pair of shoes or a bag, you get some little bags of silica gel as an added bonus. You might think they’re useless but in fact they are a simple solution to many storage problems and they cost you nothing yet can be very effective if you know and follow these tips. So never throw them away but make use of their awesome properties. The superpower of silica gel bags comes from the silicon dioxide they contain. It attracts water molecules out of shoes, bags, or whatever is around them. These moisture-proof properties are the reason silica bags come with your purchases in the first place. No moisture means no mold, odors, staining, or other damage. Spare your nerves and use silica gel packets to rescue your phone from water damage. Bacteria, which just so happen to adore moisture, thrive on sweat and produce the nasty smell in your gym bag and gum locker. So to get rid of it, you have to get rid of the moisture using silica gel. Just one packet of silica gel will be enough to keep your cosmetics dry and avoid unfortunate makeup mishaps and tons of wasted money. Add silica gel bags to folders and boxes you’re putting away for long-term storage. By the way, if you still have old-school audio cassettes or videotapes, the same method can keep them safe as well. Keeping your blankets, sheets, and pillow cases clean, fresh, and moisture-free is especially important for your health, and silica can help you with that. Moisture can cause tarnish and make your beautiful earrings, bracelets, and chains look dull and less stunning. The same can happen to your silverware. You can try polishing it, but that’s a pretty painstaking process. To avoid all that drama, drop a silica gel packet into your personal diamond fund, or as some call it a “jewelry box”. Feel free to experiment and add them to other things you want to keep dry. If you feel like they’ve lost their magic, you can simply “recharge” them. To do that, place them on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven for an hour at 220°F. And be sure to keep any unused packets in an airtight container at all times. Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Rescue your phone from water damage 0:31 Keep your gym gear odor-free 1:48 Make your makeup last longer 2:21 Protect your luggage from moisture 2:48 Keep all your important papers safe 3:19 Prevent your wardrobe from going stale 4:01 Store your seeds 4:46 Keep jewelry shining bright 5:11 Protect your camera from condensation 5:50 Keep dry foods dry 6:22 SUMMARY -Enough gel packets in a Ziploc bag will suck the water right out of your phone once you put it in the bag with the packets. Just make sure the phone is fully surrounded by the little silica baggies. -A packet or two of silica gel dropped into your bag will absorb all the unnecessary moisture and keep your bag free of odors. -If you want your favorite powder, eye shadow, and other beauty necessities to last longer, keep a silica packet in your makeup bag. -Prevent your vacation outfits from getting ruined and stick some silica bags in-between your clothes. That way, you’ll look your best on vacation. -To protect your files and memories from the damaged caused by moisture, keep them together with silica gel packets. -Keeping a gel packet in the back of your drawer or in-between layers of clothes will help you keep your seasonal garments fresh for when you need them. -Silica gel packets can help keep seeds fresh when you store them for the next season. -Keep your jewelry and silverware bright and shiny by dropping a silica gel packet into your personal diamond fund. -To protect your camera lens from condensation remove the camera’s battery, memory card, and lens, and place the body of your camera in a bowl filled with silica gel packets to take all the moisture away. -If you tape one of these packets to the lid of a container filled with bread crumbs, crackers, dried herbs or whatever has to be kept dry and crispy, you’ll save a lot of food and money, in the end.

12 Ways to Lose Weight If You Have No Time for ...
If you want to lose that extra stubborn weight and get the perfect body but have no time or energy to work out at the gym, there is an easy effective weight-dropping solution for you. Believe it or not, it's way easier than it seems, you just have to give up certain everyday habits and replace them with healthy alternatives. So let's see what can help you get the body of your dreams with minimal effort! The added sugar and preservatives in canned vegetables remove a lot of their vitamin content. Then you just end up with a not-so-healthy product that only makes you gain weight. Even when it comes to dried fruit and nuts, know your limits and do everything in moderation, and you’ll see big changes in your weight and appearance. Don’t forget that dietologists suggest having fruit only in the first half of the day. They say it’s even better to eat fruit for breakfast first thing in the morning because it strengthens your immune system and keeps infections at bay. If you want to be healthy and lose weight, you’ve got to give up the sour cream. The main problem is that it's way too high in fat! Change it up with some natural Greek yogurt. To cut down on hundreds of extra calories, you may want to hold off on the cream and sugar and try to drink it black. Again, it sounds gross at first, but you can get used to it with time. You consume about 1,000 calories every time you go to a restaurant, so try eating something light at home before going out. Just try it at least once, and you’ll notice that you’ve had only a couple slices of pizza instead of the whole pie! And if you do this regularly, you'll find yourself losing weight faster than you'd think. Light meals contain much fewer calories and don’t leave you with that heavy feeling of being so full that you can't even look at food. So don't forget about this important switch before you begin your diet plan. Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Swap canned vegetables for frozen ones. 0:38 Snack on dried fruit and nuts instead of candy. 1:13 Eat fruits with pits instead of seeds. 1:54 Skip on the elevator and take the stairs. 2:38 Grab a hula-hoop instead of a bag of chips. 3:16 Replace high-calorie desserts. 3:51 Say “no” to fatty sour cream. 4:28 Choose the right coffee. 5:10 Socialize at the gym. 5:40 Have a light meal at home before going out to eat. 6:15 Try aromatherapy. 6:52 Have a light soup instead of a heavy meal. 7:24 SUMMARY -Replace canned vegetables with frozen ones, and you'll see the difference. Frozen veggies are a lot healthier because they actually retain all their nutrition and don’t contain any additives. -Replace tempting chocolates and candy with fresh or dried fruit and nuts. -Peaches, avocados, and plums all help reduce cholesterol levels, so make them your first choice if you’re trying to get fit. -Start taking the stairs instead of the elevator to burn extra calories and provide your legs and bum with a nice workout. -Simply replace eating with exercising whenever you’re watching TV. Grabbing a hula hoop would certainly add some fun to watching the evening news. -Go for fruit salad or a frozen yogurt-based dessert. It'll be hard at first, but it'll get easier with time and become a habit. -Greek yogurt instead of fatty sour cream helps those extra pounds disappear in no time at all and contains iodine, which is essential for healthy metabolism. -You don't have to give up coffee completely, just be aware of how many calories your favorite drink has. -Organize your get-togethers with friends or coworkers at the gym instead of the bars. -If you have some non-fatty broth or a salad with a light dressing before going out, you can easily reduce that amount by 20-30%. -The smell of bananas, pears, and apples, for instance, can reduce your appetite and get rid of sweet cravings. -If you start having lean meats or vegetable-based soups as your main course instead of something heavy, you’ll easily drop a few pounds in no time.

8 Habits That Will Bright Both Parent's and Kid...
Parents always try to do the best for their kids to make them happy and healthy. However, there are some things that parents do every day that can pretty serious psychological damage not only to their kids but to themselves as well. Avoid these everyday habits that seem normal but in fact are very dangerous to give your kid the best upbringing and be a perfect parent. A study at the University of Mary Washington has shown that this constant rush often has negative outcomes for mental health, including anxiety and depression. So delegate what errands you can to someone else or postpone them till the weekend when you can leave the kids with their grandparents or a baby-sitter. Music: Ukulele_Beach https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Constant rush 0:40 Force-feeding 1:50 Not setting boundaries 2:45 Inducing panic and fear 3:53 Self-criticism 4:57 Comparing your kids to others 6:00 Fear of disapproval 6:55 Neglecting family 7:43 SUMMARY -Hurried panic isn’t just reserved for parents, it also gets passed on to the kids, and nobody needs that kind of negativity in their life no matter what their age. -Your child won’t ever throw tantrums over healthy food if the whole family gathers at the table and it’s not only the child who’s getting the vitamins. -If you don’t want your kid bothering you when you have an important call, explain to them, why you’ll no longer react to them during this time so that the sudden change doesn’t confuse them. -Let your kids mess up a bit and help them understand what they can do to fix what they’ve done and avoid those mistakes next time. -If you constantly call yourself fat or ugly or stupid or whatever bad names you tend to assign yourself, your child will think that this sort of self-loathing is totally normal and okay. -Comparing your kid to their siblings, peers, or even themselves in the past suppresses their talents, distances them from you, and lowers their self-esteem. -Teach your kids to always tell the truth and not to put everyone else before themselves. -Remember, everything you do sets an example for your kids. This also has to do with how much attention you and your kids pay to each other.

12 Gestures That Make You 100% Less Attractive
Even the best look that took forever to create can be ruined by bad body language. This instinctual nonverbal “messenger” is still the main factor that influences how others perceive us and can make people like you or, on the contrary, make you totally unattractive. Here's a quick guide to some gestures you should avoid to always look your best. Gripping your arm behind your back sends a strong negative signal to those around you. The higher you grab your arm, the angrier you seem to people. Hiding your hands in your pockets means a lot of things, which is why it’s important to interpret body language as a whole. But in most cases people put their hands in their pockets when they're nervous. Clasped hands resting on the table is a mini-version of crossing your arms over your chest. Sitting with your fingers laced together and your hands raised off the table sends the same message: “I’m shutting myself off, and I don’t want to talk to you.” Instead of slouching, straighten your back, look ahead of you, and pick your feet up when you walk. These tips will improve your appearance even more than a new suit or a stunning dress! While we usually put our hands on the lips simply because we don’t know where to put our hands, it’s still a pretty intimidating pose to see on a conversation partner. We unconsciously touch our mouth when we're lying and many people know this. Also, when you cover your mouth, it can be hard to understand what you're saying. Clinching your hands looks like you’re literally about to punch someone in the face or you’re ready to defend yourself. Eye contact could be the most important part of communication. If you tend to maintain too much eye contact or you simply want to avoid doing so, try to fidget with something every once in a while, maybe lint on your pants or something in your salad. Just don’t overdo the fake distractions because you’ll seem impolite. There have been a lot of cool psychological studies on this topic, but to keep it short: we copy people who we like, and we like people who copy us.

10 Psychological Tips That'll Help You Get Your...
You don’t always have to see a therapist when you feel like your life is spinning out of control. Save your money and time and try to solve your problems on your own with the help of 10 simple yet super effective psychological tips for a better life we’ve put together. A lot of our worries, fears, and perceived shortcomings actually trace back to our childhood. Although we mostly don’t remember our earliest years, certain things from that phase of our lives remain in the back of our minds, especially what we felt at that time. Try to go back and ask yourself simple questions like, “How did my parents treat me and each other? What were their motives?” When it comes to other people, sadly, we can’t explain their behavior no matter how much we’d like to. They simply grew up in a different atmosphere and had their own experiences that differ from ours. Comparing yourself to others will get you nowhere. In your mind, you'll never win, and the same goes for everybody else because we’re all constantly comparing ourselves to others. If you wanna find love, put yourself out there and meet new people. Sick of your job? Submit applications and go to job interviews in your free time. Nobody's gonna come and poof your life into a fairytale with the wave of a magical wand. The ability to set boundaries and say “no” makes you the type of person that respects themselves and values their time. Plus, if you keep putting up with someone’s bad attitude, nothing will change. The most important thing every single one of us should know how to do is to be our own friend. You should be ready to admit defeat and accept that you can’t influence everything. If you make an effort to look on the bright side instead of drowning in the bad stuff, you’ll be able to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and simply move on. Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS The majority of your problems stem from childhood. 0:27 Other problems are in your head. 1:34 Speak more openly about your feelings and don't judge others. 2:45 Care more about yourself and less about other people's opinions. 3:52 Get out of your comfort zone. 4:47 Set boundaries and don't let anybody trespass them. 5:26 Try to make every day better than the one before it. 6:19 Appreciate the experience you gain after every situation. 7:07 Let. It. Go. 7:45 Be a friend to yourself, not a torturer. 8:22 Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: / brightside Instagram: / brightgram 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

10 Simple Ways to Make Your Skin Care Routine E...
We all want beautiful healthy-looking skin, and we pay tons of money for creams, scrubs and masks that often don’t help. If you want to see positive changes in no time and at no cost, try following these 10 simple habits. Studies have proven that your smartphone screen can easily be covered in 10 times more bacteria than a toilet seat. And that's exactly how they end up on your face, causing all kinds of nasty skin problems. Your makeup brushes also collect tons of bacteria, and that's another possible culprit of your acne. Simply use antibacterial wipes on both your phone screen and your brushes. Every time you eat something with a lot of grease or sugar, you should be ready to welcome a brand new pimple the next day. Music: Manea - Vibe Mountain https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Clean your phone screen with special antibacterial wipes 0:35 Wash your makeup brushes regularly 1:17 Eat the right foods 1:52 Be careful with scrubs 2:35 Moisturize before and after you swim in the pool 3:11 Shower right after your workout 3:54 Listen to the signals your body is sending 4:32 Avoid overly hot showers 5:11 Drink enough water 5:48 Go to bed earlier 6:32 SUMMARY -Make it a habit to disinfect your phone screen with special antibacterial wipes that are safe for electronics. Wipe all that bacteria away, and your cheeks will be clean and clear. -If you want to have flawless skin, don't be lazy and make an effort to take care of your brushes by washing them regularly. -Find out what healthy products and dishes you like and slowly add them to your daily meals to avoid skin problems. -If you have dry skin, go for gentle facial cleansers instead of scrubs. As for oily or acne-prone skin, you can use scrubs no more than once a week. -Be sure to moisturize your skin before you get in the pool. Once you get out, deep clean your skin and reapply a moisturizer. -Excess sweat can encourage bacteria to grow in your pores, which results in blackheads and acne. When you shower right away, you can stop this from happening, making sure your skin stays fresh and clean. -Listen to your body and try to notice any changes in your appearance and well-being. The best way to react is to see your doctor, he’ll give you all the information necessary on what to do. Try to shower in lukewarm water. And if you must have it hot, limit yourself to just 10 to 20-minute baths. -If you barely drink water throughout the day, a great hack that’ll force you to do it is to keep your water bottle on top of your phone at your desk. -If you prolong your sleep, you give cortisol no chance to ruin your skin's health.

13 Habits That Probably Stop You from Losing We...
In case all your attempts to get the perfect body fail, it’s not a reason to give up completely on your weight-loss goals. Check if you’re guilty of the following habits that will sabotage any diet and exercise plan. Diets are just temporary measures you take to lose some extra weight, so you shouldn’t rely fully on them. Give yourself some time to get used to one new healthy habit at a time, and then keep going. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a good night’s rest helps you cut down on fats, carbs, and sugars. Lack of sleep, on the contrary, makes you eat way more than usual. Experts recommend taking small bites, chewing your food thoroughly, and practicing mindful eating. It means fully concentrating on your food, savoring its smell, taste, and even texture. Desserts won’t hurt your weight loss plan at all, so anyone with a sweet tooth can now rejoice! Of course, moderation is key here, but if you stick to a “nothing-allowed” diet, you’re actually more prone to overeating. A food diary will be your greatest ally on the road to weight loss. If all that writing sounds too tedious for you, you can simply take pictures to see exactly what you’ve been putting in your body. Music: Staccato https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS You’re convinced that going on a diet will help you lose weight. 0:41 You're into dressings and sauces. 1:35 You punish yourself for eating “prohibited” foods. 2:25 You're afraid of being hungry. 3:22 You stick to juices and smoothies. 4:15 You underestimate the power of sleep. 5:06 You eat fast. 5:47 You go grocery shopping on an empty stomach. 6:30 You give up desserts completely. 7:22 You think fats are the enemy. 8:02 You rely too much on exercise. 8:45 You don’t keep a food diary. 9:28 You strive for perfection. 10:12 SUMMARY -The only way to lose and keep off unwanted pounds is to change your lifestyle. Make it a habit to always have breakfast, move more, and choose the right restaurants. -Dipping veggies into a sauce, even a healthy one, can significantly ruin your diet. Add those calories to your food diary and don’t forget to count them in your daily allotted intake. -If you punish yourself every time you eat something “wrong”, you risk falling into a habit of eating in response to your failure and gaining all the weight back. -Being hungry stimulates cell renewal, improves digestion, and even regulates your blood sugar. Plus, when you’re hungry, your body produces ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates your memory and helps fight depression. -An orange will, in fact, satisfy your hunger longer than a glass of juice will. As for healthy smoothies, one glass actually contains anywhere from 150 to 300 calories. -If you want to shed excess weight, you’d better take an 8-hour journey to dreamland each night. -If you eat faster than you should, you take in more calories than you need before you realize it’s time to stop. -Have a meal or a healthy snack before going to the grocery store and don’t forget your shopping list. Otherwise, you’ll end up buying more high-calorie foods than low-calorie ones. -You can allot only 20% of your daily calorie intake to satisfying your sweet tooth and still lose weight. -Stick to unsaturated fats, such as olive oil, nuts, seeds, fish and avocados, instead of avoiding fats altogether. -Physical activity burns only 10 to 30% of your energy. The rest depends on your diet, so that should be the main focus of your weight loss plan. -Writing down everything that goes in your body keeps you aware of your portion sizes, food preferences, and meal and snack timing. -Being too strict with yourself only encourages emotional eating, which leads to a vicious cycle. It’s totally fine if you’re not 100% perfect in following your diet plan.

9 Types of Non-Physical Acts That Are Still Che...
Not all cheating is physical, and defining an emotional affair that can spoil a happy relationship can be way harder. According to statistics, around 45% of men and 35% of women have admitted to have done some sort of nonphysical cheating. Pay attention to the 9 types of emotional infidelity and what you should do to keep your relationship healthy. If you want to break free from the negative and destructive aspects of your relationship, never be mad at your partner for something they don’t know they’re doing wrong. Talk to them. If you can’t stand the urge to flirt with other people, both online and offline, and you can’t help crossing the line with strangers, it’s a clear red flag that something’s missing between you and your partner. If you’re going out of your way to hide something or someone from your partner, then it clearly means that you’re feeling a little guilty about something. Maybe you feel that your secret “friend” is a threat to your relationship and don’t want to admit this fact. The only way out for you is to admit it to yourself and figure out why you’re being secretive in the first place. Remember that while attraction is not a choice, cheating definitely is. It’s also true for same-sex friends you or your partner has. An affair doesn’t just randomly happen, only you can make a choice to give in to your temptations or not go down that slippery slope. Remember, the love you feel for the dollars in your bank account is nothing compared to the love of a loyal spouse. Let your family and friends know that when it comes to your significant other and your relationship, there is a line that they can’t cross. Music: Love Now - Eveningland Nimbus - Eveningland Dat Groove - Audionautix https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS You’re too close to your opposite-sex friend. 0:46 You flirt online and offline. 1:36 You’re having an affair with your phone. 2:28 You constantly complain about your partner to others. 3:40 You cross the line with strangers. 4:30 You have a secret friend. 5:26 You fantasize about others. 6:29 You lie about your finances. 7:37 You don’t stand up for your partner. 8:37 SUMMARY -Nobody’s saying that men and women can’t be “just friends”, but if your gut is telling you there’s an attraction between your partner and their “friend”, address the issue directly. -Anonymous online flirting, as well as the offline sort, is still an affair. -Instead of talking to their partner, friend, or family member, people are diving into virtual reality to distract themselves. -When you complain about your partner to others, you actually just end up creating even more space between the two of you. -If you need someone, especially a complete stranger, to fill whatever void you have in your relationship, you’re crossing the line into emotional infidelity. -If you’re relying on someone for emotional support, and that person isn’t in a romantic relationship with you, you’re setting yourself up for some trouble with your partner. -In case you’re consistently daydreaming about a sexual partner other than your partner, this could be considered emotional infidelity, and it could lead to a sexual affair because it means you’re disconnected from your spouse. -The problem with financial dishonesty, like any other type of lying, is that trust is lost, and the relationship immediately loses any chance of success. -If your boyfriend or girlfriend won’t stand up for you, it’s possible that they don’t consider the relationship as serious as you do.

6 Main Reasons Why You Are Still Single
In case you’re perfectly ready to finally meet “the one” and be happily in a relationship, but it hasn’t happened yet, you must be wondering why it is so. There’s a good chance you’re still alone due to one of the 6 reasons we’re about to share with you. You just can’t say “no” to your boss when he wants you to do some extra work that’s actually not even your responsibility. Or maybe you have a child, and you’re constantly occupied with them and only them. Misplaced priorities don’t allow us to be happy and move forward. First of all, love yourself. The great Sigmund Freud himself wrote how important it is to leave past relationships in the past. Just answer one simple question: why are you still hung up on the ex? Your relationship is over, the time machine hasn’t been invented yet, and you can’t change anything. Your ex isn’t perfect, it just seems that way in your own head. Fatigue, bad weather, an enthralling book, or a marathon of your favorite show are a few of the reasons why we might decide to spend the day inside. Newsflash: Mr. Perfect probably isn’t gonna break into your house and steal your heart. Parents almost never like their kids’ choice of a partner, and it’s a totally normal thing. It might have to do with evolution since it’s been like that for centuries. While you might fall for his attractiveness, sense of humor, and incredible guitar-playing, your parents probably care more about his background and financial stability. The world is huge and diverse. And true love is waiting for you beyond this rut of familiar places and habits you’ve got stuck in. Music: Sweet as Honey - Topher Mohr and Alex Elena https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS There’s no room in your life for love. 0:34 You won’t let go of your previous relationship. 1:59 You spend too much time at home. 3:29 You neglect your appearance. 4:45 You value your parents’ opinion more than your own. 5:54 You won’t try new things. 7:12 SUMMARY -Love simply can’t squeeze into your life because it’s so jam-packed with other stuff. Love yourself: going home from work on time is a good place to start. -Let yourself move forward: delete those selfies of you and your ex, throw away any printed pictures of him, get rid of objects that remind you of him. -If you limit yourself to the 4 walls that surround you, you’re likely to have a date only with your fridge. There’s a wonderful world beyond your house, so make an effort to get acquainted with it. -It’s important to be smart and have a good personality, but you also have to look good and seem approachable to others. -Let yourself follow your own feelings and opinion: your parents have already found their love and built a family, now it’s your turn to do the same. -You need to pop that protective little bubble around you and go out on a limb, be spontaneous.

9 Typical Signs of an Emotionally Unstable Person
Find out how to boost your self-confidence and learn to love yourself to feel and look like the most confident and successful person. Psychologists revealed 9 typical signs of emotionally unstable people that affect your life. Lack of self-confidence is one of the most important factors that can influence your image, your level of satisfaction with your life, and your emotional stability. While a lot of people sometimes struggle with feeling a little insecure, not everybody comes out a winner from this fight. Of course, a lot of people want to be liked by others. It really just depends on how much someone wants it. Believe it or not, even the most attractive people often don’t feel the best about their appearance. And this is totally normal. You can't always be 100% sure that you look perfect all the time. Try to find the best aspects of your appearance and highlight them. Remember: confidence equals emotional balance. A lack of self-confidence can be noticed even in the smallest details. And our life is nothing but a compilation of small instances. So try and change something about yourself to find peace and self-assurance. Music: Beach Disco - Dougie Wood https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS An overwhelming desire to be popular 0:36 Doubts about their appearance 1:20 Caring about someone else's opinion 2:14 Their reaction to refusal 2:58 High expectations 3:46 Jealousy 4:36 Devaluation 6:05 Indecisiveness 6:35 Being possessive of others 8:24 SUMMARY -If you're ready to do anything just to get more “likes” or views, you should try to figure out what’s driving you. -Remember that people who ooze self-confidence don't fool themselves by thinking they're perfect. -Don’t worry: people aren't generally all that interested in your appearance and your behavior because they’re too caught-up in worrying about how others see them. -Try to imagine how other people feel when someone turns their ideas down, and you'll understand that you’re not alone. -You can’t expect yourself or other people to do the impossible. -Being jealous will bring you nothing but negativity and a bad mood. Try to distract yourself and switch your attention to something else. -Don’t ignore those who really want to help and support you. -Try out a strategy to make decisions easier: consider all pros and cons, think about the consequences and make your choice. -Remember that every person has their own life and desires that are probably different from yours.
