5 ways to deal with fear

Let go of your old habits. For people, suffering from depression, psychotherapist Aaron Beck developed a special method. His observation was, that people with a pessimistic outlook on present and future life are prone to depression. This tendency is formed in deep childhood. Beck concluded.: if a person can be taught to have a negative perception of life, then it is also possible to wean him. For effective perception, the client needs to be helped to see, that his reaction to these circumstances is too sharp and negative. It is also imperative to respond appropriately to these circumstances., that people take everything too close to heart. It's not easy to give up this habit. Using the technique of rejecting past experience will help to achieve the desired result.. Ask yourself, why do you think, that your ideas will not support or you are under the curse of a failure? Beck described people's tendency to irrational thinking and personalization.. I.e, many said: "I know, that the director will not support this idea "or" I am cursed! I will never get that, what I want". In these moments it is important to find out, why are you so afraid to change your life and get exactly what, чего желаете. Besides, поймите, that you don't owe anyone anything, ни работе, nor to the bosses, not to relatives. Actually, the main thing is your confidence in the matter, которое вы делаете. Вам не нужно …

5 когнитивных ошибок, killing your profitability

George Dvorsky (George Dvorsky) once wrote: “The human brain is capable of performing 10 ^ 16 processes per second, making it a much more powerful tool, than any computer currently in existence. But that doesn't mean, that our brain has no serious limitations. A humble calculator can do calculations a thousand times better, than we, and our memory is often not very useful - yet, we are prone to cognitive errors (cognitive biases), these annoying glitches of our thinking, which force you to make dubious decisions and come to erroneous conclusions". Cognitive errors are the bane of portfolio managers, because they reduce our ability to remain emotionally disconnected from money. As history shows, when it comes to investing your own money, investors always do the "opposite", what should be done. They "buy at the maximum", as greed prevails over logic, and "sell at the minimum", because fear disrupts the decision-making process.

Someone even writes about successful tricks., invented by them or gleaned from various sources. In the majority, I think, similar articles are written on the wave of delight from the results obtained from the new method, but over time, the wave subsides and you have to look for new options. myself, just like many other people, subject to similar wave processes. But in my life I noticed one phenomenon in the human body, expressed in the fact, that most of the negative effects of life, be it procrastination, apathy, depression, etc., occur against the background of disturbances within the brain processes. Such disorders can be triggered by various reasons - from physical head injury to concussion (as in my case) before the negative impact of the environment. All these violations can occur in a mild form and a person, thinking, that he is healthy and he just does not have enough time to sleep, continues to be in such a disastrous state without knowing it. Смею предположить, that this condition is typical for most people. А в результате, due to hypoxic (oxygen deficiency) the state of the brain, a person continues to live in it, не задумываясь о существовании лучшей …
