39 psychological techniques to make your life better

Next we are going to see a series of tips that have a strong psychological component and that can make your life a little better. You will surely find one that will be very useful to you.

1) Surely you have come across answers in your life that you don't like. The next time someone gives you one of those answers, stare into their eyes. Calmly. That will make you nervous.

You can also get ahead of the situation. If you feel that the other person is going to say something you don't like, fix your gaze on them.

2) One of the hardest things in life is staying calm in the middle of an argument… and even more so when someone is yelling at you.

The next time someone yells at you, stay calm. Focus on your thoughts and try to tame them. By focusing on your mind, you will pay less attention to the other person. Stay calm.

When a person is yelling or insulting you, they have already lost the battle, regardless of what their arguments are. Everyone will feel that the other person has lost their ways and is not right. You have the battle won.

3) Something very important in personal relationships is remember people's names that you have just been introduced or that you already know.

Calling someone by name makes this person pay more attention to you and causes a positive approach in your interlocutor.

This skill will make you a respected person.

Always keep in mind this advice that I just gave you. When you are introduced to someone, keep their name. It is the most important thing.

I used to be a disaster for names but now I have developed the habit of paying close attention when someone's name is communicated to me. Nothing else matters at that time. You hear the name and immediately look for an association: «Her name is Cristina. Like my old college classmate »,« His name is Carlos. He has the face of Carlos, yes ”, the latter may be absurd but absurd associations are often remembered very well.

4) There will surely be times in your life when you will feel bad. In those moments, take a notebook and write how you feel and what you can do to solve your condition. Write 3 solutions.

Simplified example: «I feel bad because Juan has not called me: I am going to call [my best friend] and I am going to meet him, I am going to go out and exercise and I am going to write 3 successes that I have achieved in this life and that they make me feel proud of myself.

It is a simplified example. At the moment of truth you have to expand much more.

When you write about your discomfort, you put your internal chaos in order.

5) At some point in your life you will not know what to do. You may sink into a sea of ​​decisions that you could make. Reduce the number of alternatives to take to just 3. This will greatly simplify your life.

6) Get used to saying the following phrase: "I need your help."

When someone asks for help in a direct way, the other person feels obliged, even if they do not want to, to help you to avoid their feeling of guilt.

7) A good way to get treated well, if you work in front of the public, is to place a mirror behind you.

The client will succumb to the temptation to look in the mirror and will not want to see an angry image of himself.

8) I love this trick. If you want someone to do you a favor, ask them for a much bigger favor before asking for the favor that really interests you.

The other person may turn down the big favor so they will accept the favor you are interested in to try to make it up to you.

9) Whenever you meet an acquaintance or friend on the street, greet him with great joy. This will make them value you much more and the next time you meet that person you will receive much more positive feedback.

10) This tip is closely related to tip number 2. When someone gets mad at you, stay calm. The other person will end up feeling guilty about their behavior.

11) It is not essential to be an expert in something for others to value you. You just have to convey security. They will think you are a brilliant person, regardless of your knowledge of the subject.

12) Banish expressions like "I believe" or "In my opinion" from your vocabulary. It sounds like insecurity. Take things for granted, when you speak feel that you are in the power of the truth, that the facts are, objectively, as you are telling them.

13) Chewing gum can increase your sense of security. Your reptilian brain assumes that if you are eating something, there is no danger.

14) This trick does not fail. If this is your first date with a person, take them to a place that makes you release adrenaline. The person will associate you with that feeling.

15) When you are walking down a busy street, fix your gaze on a distant point. People will unconsciously make way for you.

16) Studies show that if you smile, your emotional well-being index increases after a while, so even if you don't feel like it, try smiling more often.

17) Whenever you want to hide something, hide something else of lesser value and hide that object so that it is easy to find. People will focus their attention on what they have found and forget about the most valuable item you have hidden.

This is a technique used by drug traffickers, for example. They make small shipments of drugs to be captured while on the other hand the largest quantities pass.

There is also a very nice anecdote about it. When the Berlin Wall was built, a person was walking to the other side with a bag of sand and a bicycle. The guards seized the bag and when they saw that it was only sand, they returned it. What they did not know was that this person trafficked bicycles.

18) A good technique to remember something you have to do the next day is to place an object that you use regularly in a strange place.

For example, you can place the remote for the television in the sink. Surely when you see it there the next day, you will know that you have to do something.

19) If you want to find out something someone is hiding, pause your conversation with her. The other person will not take the pressure and will tell you what you want to know.

20) This technique is a lot of fun… and it works. Imagine that you are in a place and you think that a person is looking at you from time to time. For some reason you catch his attention. If you want to clear doubts and know if he is watching you, yawn. If the person also yawns, you have hunted them.

21) If you want a person to do something that interests you, propose two alternatives that you like. It will end up doing what you want.

22) A good sales technique is this. If you want someone to take more than one product, never ask if they want to take something else. Ask him "Why don't you take something else?"

23) This technique is very powerful. When you're talking to someone about a controversial topic, nod as you do so. This will make you more likely that the other person will agree with you since your body language invites them to do so.

24) When you want to lie about something, add an embarrassing situation that happened to you to your story. Other people will think that if you have told them that anecdote, the rest of the story will also be true.

38) If you want to bond in a special way with someone, roll it slightly, as if it were accidental. People are very sensitive to touch and it causes positive feelings because we are social beings.

39) Using the power that people have of their self-image can be very helpful in social relationships. All of us have a great concept of our image. If someone praises or attacks her, she can become the most lovable or hateful person in the world.
