Why is it hard to change habits?

2. mart 2024.

Change as change is always difficult – both for us adults who consciously strive for a change and for children similarly.

The reasons why change is so difficult for us in life are multiple; I will mention only a few:

– the human organism is constructed in such a way that it tends to ‚‚maintain the existing state‚‚ which means that it is somehow innate and natural for us to resist change (including not only the body but also our psychosynthesis – and as follows, habits)

– every change is stressful and even a positive one (there is negative stress and there is also positive stress); it practically means that the individual will react even to a positive change as a struggle with a stressful situation. And it is in the nature of human beings to avoid stressful situations

– habits: acquiring new habits and adopting them takes time; practice is also necessary, sometimes even daily repetition, all in all, hard and tiring work

– time: how long it takes to acquire new habits is a topic that is ubiquitous in the media today. A large number of ‚‚spiritual teachers‚‚ promise that they can change our habits and claim to have found a ‚‚magic formula‚‚ . Some claim that it only takes 21 days, others 2-3 months, others say about 6 months, and others believe that to ‚‚delete‚‚ bad habits, it takes exactly as much time as it took us to create them. I would not agree with the last theory for the simple reason that we all know how little time we need on vacation to forget about getting up at 06:00 in the morning; basically, only a day or two. Maybe on the first day of vacation we wake up as usual at 06:00 a.m., on the second day we will already sleep through that time without waking up, which means that after a day or two the body has already ‚‚erased‚‚ the habit of getting up early and moved on to vacation mode. As for other theories, for now there is no evidence in practice that a period of 3 weeks (21 days) is enough to, by repeating a specific action, really acquire a habit that will become established (e.g. every day from 19:00-20:00 pm the child solves math problems and we expect that after 3 weeks he will get into the habit of doing math every evening at that time). For all the above reasons, the question of time in acquiring new habits is considered individual – which in essence it is because human behavior is influenced by a number of factors – factors that are different for each individual.

– in nature there is a law of ‚‚economizing with energy‚‚ which means that living beings try to achieve the greatest effect / the best result with the least amount of energy invested. This means that the child will also try to invest as little energy/effort as possible in order to achieve a certain goal (for this reason, copying and slacking off in class). By teaching a child to walk on the right path (it means that he does not try to get to the goal by a shortcut (by, for example, copying instead of learning the lesson), we are practically going against the above-mentioned law of nature, and that is in practice very chalenging

– acquired helplessness: if the child is used to always having someone with him – someone who will do his tasks for him and instead of him, there is a possibility that he has developed the syndrome of acquired helplessness, which in practice means that the child is capable of certain actions but does not perform because he believes (or others have convinced him) that he cannot perform that specific action. When working with children, we often go against this phenomenon, and it is an extremely long-term process that in practice means learning that particular action from scratch (regardless of the fact that a child of his age should already know something like that). So we practically repeat the process of education instead of the parents (for example, the child does not know how to hold a spoon and fork, he never cleans up after himself in the home where he lives, if he needs to turn on the television or some device, he looks helplessly at the staff, cries, reacts violently and thinks that ‚‚insurmountable‚‚ a problem for which he needs some ‚‚special‚‚ knowledge – knowledge that only mom or dad has)

– acquiring new skills (which will ideally become a habit) is essentially a learning process; and the process as a process – apart from the fact that it takes long time, it also requires a specific work methodology. For example: learning new concepts by connecting them with something already known, learning by branching out the basic topic (tree method), learning by trial and error, learning by upgrading, etc.

– and finally, let’s not forget the most important thing for acquiring habits, which is: REPETITION!

Because, as the old Greek proverb teaches us, repetition is the mother of learning!

Types of texts

28. februar 2024.

1. Narrative text

Narrative is a text that successfully connects characters, different events and stories. It can be based on real events or fictional. Through this text, the events run like a thread, they are chronologically positioned and dynamic. Often the action is set in the past and the dialogues in the present time.

2. Literary texts

Literary texts belong to artistic written works. They are rich in narration, metaphor, expressive elements and feelings. Some examples of literary texts are essays and short stories.

3. Journalistic texts

We will find these texts in newspapers, magazines, but also on electronic portals. They are mostly informative and neutral, although they often contain the personal stamp of the author or his opinion.

4. Scientific texts

These texts are purposefully written and can be found in faculty textbooks, scientific studies and analyses, scientific and research papers, etc. They use scientific terminology, technical data, statistical and other analyses. The emphasis is on information and definitions; they contain references, refer to sources and have a strict structure characteristic of the academic community.

5. Descriptive texts

These texts describe things, objects, situations, people, animals, other texts, but also emotions. There are two types of descriptive texts: literary and technical.

6. Argumentative texts

This type of text advocates a specific thesis, for or against, introducing the reader to an argumentative discussion through the presentation of certain facts, representation of theses, placing the reader in context, presenting the advantages and disadvantages of certain phenomena. At the end of the text, we often find references through which the author refers to certain authorities / experts in a given field, statistical data or the frequency of certain phenomena – all with the aim of persuading and/or proving the validity of the claim.

7. Manuals

Manuals give us instructions – how to do something / how to perfect certain skills. They can be of a purely technical nature, but also intangible – those related to self-help courses and spiritual development. The latter should be instructive (although in practice they often are not). They are structured to guide the reader, step by step, towards achieving the goal. For both technical and motivational manuals, we can say that they are ‚‚inspirational‚‚ because they lead the reader to take some action.

8. Anthropological texts

Directed to the human race, we find them in philosophical and sociological scripts and writings. Here we do not find a formal structure as in scientific texts. They also deal with human relationships, emotions and human nature.

9. Expository texts

As the word says, these texts present facts, figures, events, not including the author’s opinion. We often find them on information portals but also in some textbooks. Most often they contain ‚‚dry‚‚ transfer of facts from one source to another or shorter definitions / explanations. They differ from journalistic ones in that they are essentially not author’s, but the emphasis is on ‚‚transmission of information‚‚ in the most original form possible. They can contain a short introduction / explanation and a conclusion that contains the most important elements related to the topic. They aim to inform.

10. Legal texts

We find them in the sphere of justice, the language of address is official, the terminology legal, expressions from Latin and ancient Greek are often used, they are formal, short, contain pleonasms (for a clearer presentation and to avoid ambiguous interpretation). The content is structured logically – often chronologically, they are not ‚‚literally beautiful‚‚, they are full of laws, articles, paragraphs and other ‚‚legal tools‚‚ written by lawyers for lawyers.

11. Administrative texts

They are similar to legal texts, differ in structure and are intended for administrative officers and citizens who use them. They are often given in the form of a table in which personal data is then filled. We find them in municipalities and public services: certificates, extracts from the register, forms, requests, petitions, etc.

12. Advertising texts

These texts invite the reader to purchase a specific product or service. They are usually short, contain slogans or purposefully try to amuse / laugh at the customer, thus causing him pleasant feelings that he will then (consciously or unconsciously) associate with a certain product (and thus want to buy that product). These texts are written by copywriters and people who deal with sales / marketing, although some famous people are also involved in the marketing waters, thus connecting their name with a certain product – giving a personal stamp and quality guarantee.

13. Copywriting

A copywriter writes texts that promote a specific service, product or idea. These texts also call for action, but they differ from advertising texts in terms of length and content. They can contain advertising slogans, but they can also be descriptive and much longer than advertising slogans. In most cases, the author is given a certain topic, however, he has the freedom relevant to the content and emotional charge / amount of emotions / descriptive elements of the text. It is written on purpose, the number of words is limited, there are deadlines for handover and the author often works under time pressure. Copywriting is done for the internet, newspapers and magazines.

14. Ghostwriting

Ghostwriting means writing texts for the account of someone else (person or company). And these texts are written on purpose and to order. The author assigns all rights to the client, does not sign his texts and keeps this agreement confidential.

15. SEO writing

SEO writing means that the author of the text uses certain ‚‚popular‚‚ words – words ‚‚requested‚‚ in a certain branch so that his text is as visible as possible and in the best possible place in the internet search engine. And these texts are written on purpose, to order and usually must contain a certain number of ‚‚keywords‚‚. The nominative is often used (because of the search engine) and any step towards the literary and creative is considered undesirable, as well as the use of case, description, Cyrillic and everything else that reduces the likelihood that the text will be highly ranked on the search engine. They sound austere and mechanical, they lack harmony, everything is subordinated to the key words that the author ‚‚must‚‚ insert into the text – whether they fit into the context or not, whether the text sounded harmonious or not, whether it was compact, aesthetically and literary beautifully worded or not. In this case, the author does not have much freedom to ‚‚write from the soul‚‚ but is forced to follow trends and ‚‚raise‚‚ the visibility of the text. At first glance, these kinds of texts attract readers (because the Internet search engine throws them out among the first), however, in the long run, they represent a real disappointment and a waste of time for all of us who are lovers of reading and are looking for that honest, artistic thread in reading that is not succumbed to commercial compromises.

16. Digital texts

A large number of authors use artificial intelligence services. The texts resemble each other, only the order of the words in the sentence is changed with the use of synonyms; the meaning is nebulous, often ambiguous and subject to interpretation. The exposition on a certain topic is general and it is often noticeable that the text was not made by human hands. In addition, this type of texts is gaining popularity because artificial intelligence is able to generate large amounts of text in a very short period of time, to format and publish them, thus gaining time and the amount of content that is offered. Needless to say, these texts were not written ‚‚from the soul‚‚ either.

17. Columns and feuilletons

Mostly short, serialized texts, they represent a permanent section in the newspaper and contain artistic and literary representations, short descriptions of events / phenomena, trends / current events. They can also be thematic, such as recipes, travelogues, articles about fashion or historical events.

18. Therapeutic writing

Recently, it has been gaining momentum so that writing therapy is slowly entering our lives. Psychologists call this phenomenon expression – which means expressing your emotions, putting them on paper and seeing them in black and white. They have a similar effect to catharsis (purification of the soul) – where the author often (at the end of the process) burns the paper on which he wrote down unpleasant events. In this way, he gets rid of the mental burden.

19. Notes

Notes as a type of text can be our own, but we also find them in collections where the exposition is concise, the events are given in outline, by name and without much description. They are often chronologically structured and although short, they can give a broader picture.

20. Creative writing

The texts, modernly called ‚‚creative writing‚‚ are those texts in which the author expresses his feelings, his opinion or attitudes. It doesn’t compromise or use keywords. To write something beautiful, to spend time doing something creative – is a goal in itself. These texts are mostly short, they are not necessarily literary, they are also written by amateurs – simply because they like it; writing for the sake of writing.

English

Who are we writing for?

24. februar 2024.

1) We write only for ourselves – we write because we like to write, we write because we like to write down our thoughts and daily activities (a large number of people keep a diary) and some, some write because therapeutic writing has become fashionable. They write down everything that bothers them and then either tear or burn the paper; writing as catharsis and cleansing of the soul. Whatever it is – whether just for pleasure or as therapy, writing liberates and contains a noble note in itself.

2) We write for a wider audience – which means that we publish our written travels; and we expose ourselves; and we expose ourselves to criticism – and praise; and we stand behind our work. We write books, texts for our blog or for websites. In any case, we came out of our cocoon and out of writing for ourselves – out of writing for the sake of writing and out into the world.

3) We write for clients, which means for the company or a customer. This writing includes copywriting, ghostwriting, advertising texts, slogans, etc. This writing does not leave the author a lot of freedom – neither as far as the number of words is concerned, and even less as far as the topic is concerned; handover deadlines are often tight, the words used are subordinate to the search engines, overall, targeted and purposeful.

4) We write for newspapers and magazines: this category includes journalistic texts – either for print or electronic press. Although the subject matter is often predetermined, the author has a certain degree of freedom relevant to the content.

5) We write texts for a certain (narrower) social subgroup: these are targeted texts and the topics include all scientific and life aspects: texts for textbooks and specialized websites as well as technical texts intended for the scientific community; then texts for a somewhat wider audience, concerning beauty, health, modern psychology, spiritual development, art, trends, etc. In these texts, a certain social subgroup receives information relevant to it: scientific definitions, analyses, research, statistical data on e.g. health, food, etc. or calls for some action (with the help of which he will make the desired changes in his life; for example, texts on the topic of beauty and weight loss or personal development).

6) We write for children: books for children – stories, fairy tales, fables, coloring books, study materials / manuals with the help of which children can master the material more easily.

7) We write for educational institutions – for pupils and students: textbooks, scripts, scientific and research papers, analyses.

8) We write for other artists: scripts for theater plays and films, dialogues for advertisements, announcements, content / description / presentation of exhibitions and cultural events.

holidayhome

    Encourage Engagement: Foster two-way communication by encouraging your audience to engage with your content. Pose questions, invite comments, or run interactive polls to spark conversation and deepen connections.

    Keep It Authentic: Authenticity is key to building trust and credibility on Instagram. Stay true to your brand voice and values, and avoid using overly salesy or promotional language. Authenticity resonates with audiences and encourages long-term loyalty.

    Optimize Caption Length: While Instagram allows for longer captions, consider your audience’s preferences and attention spans. Aim for a balance between concise and informative, keeping your captions digestible while still conveying your message effectively.

holidayhome

By implementing these strategies, you can craft captivating captions that resonate with your audience, drive engagement, and ultimately, attract more followers to your Instagram account. Remember to stay consistent, experiment with different approaches, and continuously refine your caption-writing skills to maximize your Instagram success.

The Japanese KAIZEN method – how to overcome laziness

5. februar 2024.

Between the bustling streets of Tokyo and the serene landscapes of Kyoto, a technique was born that has remained deeply rooted in Japanese culture to this day. It is a method that fights against one of the worst enemies – laziness.

Work with me – just click on the link below:

https://silkmind.net/work-with-me

This technique is also known as ,,Kaizen: the one-minute Japanese technique for overcoming laziness.,, It uses the philosophy of constant progress (even in small steps) to avoid procrastination and increase productivity; and all this in just 60 seconds.

Essentially, it is about the principle of taking small, gradual steps that lead to a bigger goal. The importance of consistency and gradual progress as opposed to sudden and megalomaniac jumps is emphasized. In the context of combating laziness, this technique encourages individuals to spring into action by committing to just one minute of focused effort.

The process begins by identifying the task or activity that needs to be done: for example, a book that needs to be read, a series of gymnastic exercises or a project that has been unfinished for a long time. Instead of giving in to the wave of laziness and procrastination, we commit ourselves to devote ourselves to that activity for just 60 seconds and thus move forward – towards progress. During this minute, the person focuses completely on the task, leaving aside everything that distracts him, all excuses and topics that distract him. Whether it’s reading a page, doing gymnastics or putting together a few sentences, the key is to take that initial step forward.

https://silkmind.net/work-with-me

What makes Kaizen particularly effective is its ability to bypass the mental barriers associated with laziness. By breaking down a task into smaller, manageable steps, it relieves the enormous pressure often associated with „big“ goals. Moreover, the act of starting instills a feeling of boldness, gives a momentum that makes it easier to maintain the pace after the initial minute.

The philosophy of this method is to cultivate a way of thinking that leads us to constant progress, reinforcing the idea that every small effort leads to long-term success. Every minute invested into productive activity is a small stone that, together with other stones, builds the tower of our goals and personal progress.

In the modern world – a world where concentration and attention are in constant decline (and with them motivation and perseverance), Kaizen offers a simple and powerful remedy for the realization of goals. This technique additionally serves as a reminder that significant change can come from the smallest of actions and that persistence, even in the face of lethargy, is the catalyst for progress.

The next time you feel overwhelmed by laziness and the urge to procrastinate, remember this wise Japanese technique. Take just one minute for Kaizen, get rid of inertia and ignite the flame of productivity. Embrace the power of small steps and achieve your goals with consistent efforts.

Navigation through a new environment

28. januar 2024.

Emigration, or moving to another country, represents one of the most exciting but also challenging experiences in an individual’s life. The willingness to adapt to a new environment and create a sense of belonging are key elements of successful integration. Here are some steps that can help you find your way, adapt and build a happy life abroad.

1. Research before relocation:

Before you hit the road, research is key. Familiarize yourself with the culture, customs, laws and economy of the country you are moving to. Understanding the basic parameters will help you adapt to the new environment more easily. In translation: prepare in advance for the first steps you will take in your new homeland; thus, you will make it easier for yourself to adapt, save time, and the process itself will be less stressful because you will significantly reduce the factor of the unexpected.

2. Find a new community:

Active involvement in the local community can significantly facilitate the adaptation process. Join sports clubs, cultural organizations or volunteer groups to meet new people and make friends. This will not only help you feel less alone, but will also allow you to exchange experiences with other expats.

3. Language learning:

Language is a key link with the local community. Try to learn the language of the country you immigrated to. In addition to making communication easier, knowing the local language helps you better understand the culture and integrate into society.

4. Study of the labor market:

Finding a job abroad can be challenging, but properly studying the job market and adapting your skills to the market can help you do it. Consider options for degree recognition, training, qualification or requalification; this will help you find your place under the sun more easily when it comes to a new job.

5. Maintaining ties with relatives and friends:

Maintaining ties with family and friends in the homeland is important for emotional stability. Nowadays, technology makes it easier for us to communicate through video calls and social networks, which allows you to stay connected with your loved ones.

6. Flexibility and patience:

Adapting to a new life takes time. Be ready for changes and be patient with yourself; don’t push yourself to the brink of exhaustion, don’t expect overnight results or any instant „success“ (whatever that means for each of us). Setting realistic expectations helps you to successfully deal with challenges, save your body from stress and all in all, to build a happy life step by step in a new environment.

7. Integrity

Despite the challenges, stay true to yourself. The fact that you are a foreigner does not mean that you have to agree to everything, to do jobs that do not match your educational profile or to hang out with people you wouldn’t hang out with in your homeland. Stay true to yourself, your principles and values and work hard on the goals you have set for yourself.

To conclude: emigration can be a challenging but also extremely enriching life adventure. The ability to adapt, openness to new experiences and work on building connections with the local community are key elements of a successful emigrant journey.

Home made Gyros

28. januar 2024.

holidayhome

INGREDIENTS:

1 piece of pork (fillet, about 800 gr.)

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 clove of garlic, finely grated

1 onion finely grated

1 spoon of mustard

1 teaspoon cumin (not the same as cumin)

½ teaspoon pimento (clove pepper)

1 teaspoon of allspice

1/3 cup dry white wine

Salt, Pepper

holidayhome

PREPARATION:

cut the fillet with a knife in several places and beat well to soften and expand. Next, cut it into thin slices. If you find it difficult to slice the meat, ask your butcher to do it for you. Put the meat in a bowl, add olive oil, garlic, onion, mustard, cumin, allspice, allspice, oregano, wine, salt and pepper. Mix well, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave for 2-3 hours to absorb the aromas. The mentioned marinade is considered basic, and you can enrich the aroma by adding 1 tablespoon of honey, a little rosemary or thyme if desired. Heat the oven to 180°C. Arrange the marinated meat in a pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Then turn the meat over and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown. While the meat is still warm, cut it into thin pieces, add onions, tomatoes, parsley or tzatziki as desired. Wrap in a pie. There are ready-made Greek pies on sale. If you don’t like them, you can use a tortilla or a Cypriot pie.

If you are a housewife who likes to knead, the Greek pie is prepared using the following ingredients: dry yeast, a little sugar, a little salt, olive oil, lukewarm water and strong wheat flour. The procedure is the same as when kneading bread, except that the dough is stretched thinly. They are baked without oil in a non-stick Teflon pan.

Greek gyros with fries and all the spreads has about 600 calories. Just the pie – depending on the preparation and the amount of oil, it itself has about 200-300 calories.
