It’s time to fall in love again or finally break up.

A time to change an old habit into a new habit or to destroy everything and start anew.
Spring is the best time for change.

You can fall in love in order to undergo a transformation.
Or you can do it without any reason.

You can choose to embrace your darkness or to nurture your inner light.

It's up to you whether you want to cultivate your fears or the opportunities that come your way.

Trust takes time and sometimes even effort.
⠀
Let's try to figure out what affects our ability and willingness to trust a loved one.
⠀
▫️ Environment. Relatives, friends, the received information, the media space - all that influences our perception in some way. Society composes a perfect relationship model.
⠀
▫️ Self-esteem. The lower your self-esteem, the less confident you feel in a relationship. Remember the great advice of Susanna from the well-known movie: "I am the most charming and attractive! All men are delighted with me..." Raise your self-esteem every single minute, because you are so exciting!
⠀
▫️ Personal space. Don't try to pry into someone else's affairs, then yours won't be disturbed either. People always can find a way to let you know what they want you to know.
⠀
▫️ Past experience. Yes, you can't escape it, it will always be at the back of your mind. But is it actually bad? By dealing with situations you didn't like, you can avoid repeating past mistakes.

​Some ways to help complete stress response cycle:

✔️ Physical activity. Any activity will work, as long as you move and breathe. If you're stressed but can't exercise right now, a breathing practice can help relieve tension.

✔️ Communication and laughter. By interacting with people, you send a message to your body that the world around you is safe. Just a short conversation, a warm hug or a sincere laugh is enough. By the way, you can complete stress response cycle not only with the help of people, but also spending time with animals. Sometimes petting a cat or going for a walk with a dog is the best remedy.

✔️Another cure for stress is tears. Many of us have experienced episodes of sudden uncontrollable and inappropriate crying in response to a situation or someone's words.

✔️ Creativity. In general, all creative activities modulate and stimulate emotions. Think of it as a space where you can stop hiding your feelings. Both other people's creative work (music, books, theater) and your own creations are helpful.

How to overcome the fear of change and start taking action?
⠀
To do this, you need:
⠀
▪️ To analyze the reasons of your fear (with a specialist, things will go faster).
⠀
▪️ To find the "missing verbs" by remembering the past events. Namely, what specific actions were needed to get the result you wanted.
⠀
▪️ To make a list of such "verbs" for the current situation, write them down. They will all mean specific actions toward pending goals.
⠀
▪️ To divide all the steps into big and small ones. It is better to start with small ones, alternating them with big ones.
⠀
▪️ If the fear comes back, divide the big step in half again.
⠀
▪️ To support yourself emotionally all the way. Realize that you are working as well as you can.
⠀
▪️ To notice the positives in your life and plan things with a good mood every morning by writing them down as tasks.

Denial is when a person is unwilling to come to terms with reality, when he or she tries to avoid any new information that goes against their existing beliefs.

People who resort to this psychological defense mechanism simply ignore reality that is painful to them and behave as if it does not exist.
Such people often believe that they have no problem because they deny the presence of difficulties in their lives.

They are quite suggestible, often lacking self-criticism, as well as imagination.

If this continues for a long period of time, the person completely loses a sense of reality, since he or she is already used to its denial.
