How to Stop Unpleasant Thoughts and Mood?

The quickest method to stop your unpleasant thoughts and mood is to ask one simple question:

“What miracle do I really want right now?”

If you have trouble with answering this simple question, then you could add another question:




“What will immediately make me happy/pleased/satisfied/excited?”

By asking and answering both questions (hundreds of times a day), you are installing ‘switcher to pleasure’ in your mind.

In brain, this function - swift recharger for better – is done by dopamine. Dopamine is a neurochemical, which intensifies your sensations and feelings.




Low moods or dull thoughts are nothing but an awful habit. 


They are intensive because you have no experience to think about best things spontaneously or on purpose throughout a morning, day, evening and night.

In this case, dopamine works against you,  by intensifying the trash you had been collected for years.



This trash is biting you!

By asking and answering a very simple question:

“What miracle do I really want right now?”

on a regular basis, you get a new skill of wellness. Your natural dopamine presence in your blood and brain will grow gradually!

Dopamine ensures excitement and drive without alcohol or drugs…

Psychological Humor: Train Your Boss (2)

We have already discussed with you this question – how to train your boss. I say “we” because, when you read interesting information, you either agree or disagree, right?

Nothing heals social relations better than laughter. It is not in our culture to laugh at people openly in public. But! Nobody forbids us to mock or laugh at people we dislike at home, or even at work.

Your boss is nothing but your own projection, a concept. Practicing humor directed to your boss, enriches you as well as improves relationships. Frankly speaking, I do all these funny things myself, both in academic environments and at home. Results are always satisfying. For the last years nobody even dared to order or manipulate me

Here is the method:
1. You look at the funny animation
2. You apply it to your boss (or any other distressing person), i.e. you substitute images: your boss to comic animation
3. You create amusing context and funny and witty description
4. You laugh at your creation several times a day
5. It makes you feeling good

Let us practice

Elicit Pleasure from People and Objects You Dislike

Do you believe that you can feel good by noticing or watching people, things or objects, which seem ugly to you?

Let us practice to discover the truth.

Find some unattractive, old objects at home. Pictures of people you dislike from magazines or newspapers, can also suit perfectly. If your house or apartment does not contain such a nonsense, so much the better! Then turn on TV.

Point at person or object you dislike with your index fingers.


You point at objects or people you dislike and say: “It’s not me!”

The unexpected results:
  • your mood rises immediately;
  • you start thinking the best of you;
  • you have fun;
  • you stop criticizing yourself, your appearance and your body;

  • your knowledge and attention expand beyond the boundaries of your “inner world”, i.e. your shell.



Many people look in the world out of their shells for the reason of safety and fear not to suffer again!

Important note! Some people think that their “inner world” exists in their heads or bodies. It’s a big, big mistake! Ideas, consciousness, understanding, “deep knowledge” and the world itself – everything – are in the outer space. They exist in the form of hidden possibilities, like invisible molecules of oxygen. We know about them but never notice due their tiny size.

Celebrate!

Nice and quick methods from my book

Art Therapy: How to Stop Overeating (Part 4)

Fast Dagestan Method
Parts 1,  2, 3



The secret of slim Dagestan women lies in their tradition always to keep sweet things, nuts, fruits, cookies and other nice tasty food on the tables all over the house:


in the kitchen



in the dining room




in your kids’ room



Whenever you or members of your family move around the place, their eyes always meet lovely plates or vases with tasty things



You pick one or two tasty things out of abundance



…enjoy them



… and you always feel satisfied




Our eyes “eat” first, before we touch and eat food.



It’s the most natural principle at our disposal. When you see plenty of beautiful and juicy looking food, available at a touch for tasting any moment, you stop overeating!





You meet no limitations for your appetite, no diets are needed.  




It’s time to enjoy life and food.  



Share your successful stories.





We love you!

Art Therapy: How to Stop Overeating (Part I)

Fast Dagestan Method

When I have a client, struggling with overeating and overweight, I usually ask them a very useful question:

“What will be you doing when you become slender and beautiful?”

This question puzzles practically everybody. Struggling takes a lot of time, attention and efforts. Most people have not the slightest idea about a beautiful life they were born for. We shall discuss this topic later.

Now I’ll tell you about a nice and healthy method. It stops both overeating and getting overweighed.

That is why art therapy is very useful. It creates a novel cultural context for a healthy style of eating.


Dagestan men are spirited and strong
