12 stealth habits that stole your happiness in the past year

So, in the court of the new year. A new page in your life. A new beginning. Your chance to start over. Tell me honestly - not tired you again and again to attack all on the same old rake?

I'm serious - since we are entering a new year, why not leave the old part of the bad habits? It is time instead to let errors of the past control your future, let them something to teach you. Let them become something valuable, not a heavy load on your feet.

Remember - if you are constantly, every day, doing something one, it first becomes a habit, and after - second nature. And if you acquired habits is not good, you are definitely in harm.

That is as much as 12 examples of these bad habits, each of which has stolen a piece of happiness in the past year:

1. satisfied with what you already know. - On the day when you stop to learn something new, your life ceases to have meaning. No, it's not a joke - this is pure truth. How can your life be full of events and make sense if you are afraid to do and a step beyond the usual, familiar and comfortable? Only when you decide to take this step (but after another, again and again), you begin to get stronger. Cleverer. Ability. No, no one asks you to give up, that is the basis of your personality ... but it does not mean that you should close your mind to new ideas, feelings and sensations. And believe me, after you look at things from different angles, your purpose in life becomes only more clearly and distinctly. Find a way to test the strength of your current view of the world - and next year, your life will be much more magical, unusual and fun than you can imagine.

2. Resistance inevitable and necessary life changes. - Most of the change is not only inevitable but also necessary. But sometimes they require you to change a difficult choice - and it can be very painful. Yes, sometimes very painful to grow - but in the end it always turns out that you would be much harder, you stay in the past - because you do not belong there. You - not the person who had the year, month or even a week ago. You are constantly grow, gain new experiences and learn something new, because that's life. Yes, sometimes you have to be a very brave man to admit that in your life something has to change, and even more courageous - to take responsibility for these changes for yourself. But the result is usually worth every bit of courage, you can put together.

3. Willingness to allow others to all, and always decide for you. - Some people are happy to kill you any dreams, aspirations and expectations, if you allow it to them. How do they do it? Tiny and seemingly harmless frazochkami like, "Yes, if you are a realist." When you hear like, just close your eyes and listen to the voice of your heart. Remember that to be successful - it is to be named in the eyes of others, and in their own. This is to live as you want, so feel alive. Be aware - this the year, whether or not, but there will come a moment when life will squeeze you against the wall and you'll see that the only thing that remains - to say, "No, this time I will do so, as you want me to! "And this is the world your world turned upside down - because you stop scramble to meet someone's expectations, and begin to pursue what really matters to you. Begin to live according to their own values ​​and preferences. And finally, find happiness and freedom.

4. The ability to pay attention to someone else, but not themselves. - Do not be so passionate about the success stories of other people to forget about their own writing. And do not try to compare one chapter of the story of your life with another 15 Chapter. Become a creator of its history and make it happen. As you have all you need in order to become what you are capable of. The only thing that really need to do - to take control of their lives into their own hands. Consume less, and more are doing. Do not let other people think, speak and decide for you. Learn to respect their own ideas and instincts - because only they can help you write another page in the history of your life the way it should be. And if you want this story in the coming year, soared to the heights of skill, get rid of what steals your time, drains determination and pulls you to the bottom, but instead let the things in life that give you wings. Keep your best dreams and greatest purpose as close to your heart, and try to give them at least a little time each day.

5. Fixation on unimportant issues. - For the most part what we are happy or unhappy depends not on our circumstances, and how we relate to them. If you are irritated or depressed throws some external factor is quite possible that the pain experienced by you - not a consequence of this factor, and your relationship to it. And that's that, and it you can change at any time. In other words, anger and stress - a consequence of injustice is not life, and your relationship to it. Take a look at life from the other side, and irritation with stress will be over.

6. The desire to always be right. - When you start to think that the victory of the dispute is more important than love and good relations with people, maybe it's time to change your priorities? Remember - really confident in themselves are not afraid to admit his own wrong. They know that finding the truth is more important than to prove that they are right dispute. And if they are wrong, they are not considered to be something shameful to admit it and retreat. And sometimes we have to admit they were wrong, not because we did wrong, but because they value the relationship with the people above their own wounded pride. When two quarrel indifferent to each other people, among them there is no right - they're both wrong. They put right in some dispute the love and trying to find a compromise. And because in this situation the rights the first one to back down and apologize.

7. The desire to keep about a people who constantly and consistently hurting you. - Sometimes you have to break off relations with the people, not because you do not care whether you injure their feelings, but because they do not care if they hurt yours. Yes, in our life should be a place of forgiveness - but not forgiveness. When someone deliberately hurting you over and over again, sooner or later you have to admit that this man simply do not care about your feelings. Yes, such a pill to swallow is not so simple, but it should be done. Do not try to impress them, to understand, to forgive, or fall in love. You do not owe them anything to prove. Just forget about them and free up time to devote to someone who does not votknet you a knife in the back, once you turn away. Perhaps this will help you gain a long-awaited happiness and peace.

8. The tendency to love others more than himself. - Believe me, once you become their own best friend, you will live much easier. So whatever you do, do not forget about yourself and do not blame yourself too harshly for mistakes - on them without you there, who pointed out. The fact that you are worried about yourself, it is not selfish. After all, if you can not take care of yourself - how you can take care of others? After all, none of us can share in that do not have to themselves. Treat yourself the way you deserve, and you will find the strength to help others. But remember that there is a huge difference between taking care of yourself and ...

9. fixated on itself. - Generosity - that makes things that you own, be your hosts. In other words, generosity not only helps others - it frees you. And that is why you will never find true abundance, until you do something good, without asking anything in return. Keep this in mind and find happiness. No classes more beneficial for the heart and soul than to help a fallen people get back on their feet.

10. The expectation that everything will be as kind and caring as you. - Believe me, this expectation can seriously disappoint you, because this world is far from ideal. And the fact that you are a good person, does not mean that you are surrounded by the same.

11. The expectation that you will avoid losing side. - We are not always willing to understand and accept ... but everything has a reason. Once we know all the bitterness of the loss ... which is good, because if we had not known it, we would have no place in it would take compassion. Power above us would capture the monster, whose name is selfishness. We would have become conceited, narcissistic beings, who are always and only be small. The terrible pain of loss humbles our pride and teaches us humility, the same humility, which is able to warm the cold heart, and to make a remarkable man of only good. And remember: the first chapter - is not the whole book, and no chapter does not tell you the whole story. Similarly, no one has determined the loss of your entire life, and if you stumble on an unpleasant chapter in the history of life - perelistnite it and move on.

12. Your past determines your future, and you allow it to him. - Do not live mistakes and disappointments of the past, leave them behind. You can not change what has already happened, but you can let it make you stronger and more purposeful. And the way to emotional maturity not do without a glance at the events of the past, because the only way you can extract the information contained in them the wisdom and lessons. And one day, inevitably, like the dawn, you finally understand everything. In the midst of all the troubles and worries about what happened once you stop, as if rooted to the spot, and the voice in your head says loudly: "Enough!" And it is this turning point will begin the process of healing and growth. And because in this new year, close the door to the past, turn around, and stand on the path leading to the future. It's worth it.

Afterword
As I have mentioned many times, if any of the above items seemed especially close to you, you know - you are not alone. And together we will find a solution. Sooner or later, one way or another.

Never too late to make a move in the right direction. Never too late to become the person who can be just you. You can always change your life - if you want, because in front of you is all your remaining days.

Collected half of the mirror for the telescope James Webb

With a powerful manipulator NASA engineers have set the ninth of the 18 mirror segments, which will be composed of a mirror of the future "mate" space telescope Hubble - the vast apparatus James Webb.

"Years of development and training pays dividends, - says the manager of Goddard Space Flight Center Lee Feinberg (Lee Feinberg), - progress pleases everyone who is involved in this." Pictures taken while working on a project team of James Webb, is seen as a special manipulator sets hex segments of the primary mirror of the future James Webb.

Produced Corporation Ball Aerospace, they each have 1.3 m in diameter and weigh about 40 kg. For their installation in an integrated system professionals responsible Harris Corporation. It is expected that in the first half of 2016 on the operation of the installation will be completed, and of the 18 segments of the composite lay down a 6.5-meter mirror Space Telescope.

The orbital infrared observatory will be the James Webb Space powerful tool for astronomy, eclipsing even the legendary Hubble. The total area of ​​the collecting surface of its primary mirror is 25 square meters. m, and covers him from the sunlight the screen is wider tennis court.

The unit is scheduled to start in late 2018, and by 2019 it will arrive at the place of work in L2 Lagrange point of the Sun-Earth. Here the star attraction of our planet and cancel each other, and James Webb will be able to stay in position without the expense of fuel.

The parade of planets and other astronomical events of January

In January 2016, residents of the northern hemisphere will be able to watch many interesting astronomical events. Among them - a parade of bright planets in the solar system to join them by the Moon.

Today, the Earth will be located at a distance of 0.983 AU from the Sun, that is at the closest point of its orbit. The apparent diameter of the Sun will be greatest.

The January sky decorate Comet Catalina, which is New Year's Eve will be in the sky near the bright Arcturus (alpha Bootes) and January 17 will be held in near-Earth distance. You can see it with a conventional binoculars on a clear no light-polluted city lights and a full moon sky. In January, the comet moves through the constellations Bootes, Canes Dogs, Great Bear and the Dragon; then - through the constellations Camelopardalis, Perseus, Auriga and 28 May disappear from sight, flying in the depths of space.

January 4 is expected to peak Quadrantids meteor shower. Consider up to 200 meteors per hour (the best - from 23:00 till dawn) can the naked eye, but the meteors are faint luminosity and average speed. Quadrantids fly out of the constellation Bootes, which in January rises above the horizon in the eastern sky.

January 9 at 7.00 MSK happen conjunction of Venus and Saturn. The distance between the heavenly bodies will be only 5 minutes of arc, that is, when viewed from Earth, the planet is almost merge into one bright point. But the most interesting phenomenon occurs on the last day of the second month of winter: Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter form a parade of bright planets in the solar system with the Moon to join them.

Norway has decided to give Finland the mountain

Norway has launched a campaign to promote the idea that it is necessary to give the neighboring Finland border summit of Mount Halti as a gift to the centennial of the country's independence. Now part of the mountain belongs to Norway.

Finland will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of independence in 2017.
Part of the mountain Halti is already on the territory of Finland, on its slopes - the highest point in the country (1324 m). However, the peak of the mountain height of 1365 m already owns Norway.
Activists offer to move abroad in order to "give" top of the mountain of Finland, and state that these changes will be barely visible on the map.
"It will be a wonderful gift. How many countries can boast that gave the neighbor the mountain? "- Says a Facebook page online campaign, which is already supported by more than 4,000 people.
"We give Finland to new heights!" - Urging activists.

A former employee of the Norwegian Mapping Authority, now retired Bjorn Geyrr Harsson said that such an idea came to him a few decades ago. He suspects that the campaign on Facebook could start his son.
Many Finns in the Network welcomed the initiative as a sign of good-neighborly relations. However, there were also dissatisfied: grumblers believe that the change of borders would lead to unnecessary red tape. And individual citizens Suomi claimed that Norway would be better if they gave at least one oil well, reports BBC.

Physicists have created the first hybrid qubit

Scientists from the US and the UK for the first time created a qubit from two different kinds of ions. American scientists were able to link the magnesium ions and ions of beryllium, the British physics "entangled" ions of two different isotopes of the same substance - calcium-40 and calcium-43. This will allow scientists hope to create in the future universal quantum computers.

Both studies were published in the magazine Nature. American scientists have managed to create the first prototype of qubits - the smallest element for storing information in a quantum computer - on the basis of magnesium and beryllium ions. This was possible thanks to a special laser system control spin of charged particles. As the study's authors hope it will create in the near future supersensitive atomic clock and universal quantum computers.

"Hybrid quantum computers provide the unique benefits that have different quantum systems - said Ting Tan of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder. - Each ion type is unique: some are better suited for storage of information and others are more suitable for transmission of information. "

British scientists were able to link the two ions of different isotopes of the same substance - calcium-40 and calcium-43. The first one is better suited to the role of the channel for the transmission of quantum information, and the second is the most reliable basis for quantum memory cells.

There was a picture of the mysterious region of Pluto

NASA presented the image of a mysterious region of Pluto - we are talking about the recesses located in the region Tombaugh Regio.

New high-quality image was made using a telescopic camera spacecraft New Horizons. At the time of capture probe is at a distance of 15,400 km from the surface of Pluto. The focus of scientists appeared strange recesses in Tombaugh Regio, or even call this region - "The heart of Pluto." According to scientists, the deepening layers of ice formed. Experts believe that they are relatively recent.

The area became known as "The Heart of Pluto" because of its visual resemblance to the image of the heart in popular culture. For the first time, the region discovered in the summer of 2015. During the research, scientists have identified two mountain ranges here. The height of the first (Mountain Norgeya) reaches 3500 m, and the second (Mountain Hillary) - up to 1500 m. The left side of the "heart", according to the findings, a crater, which is filled with crystal with nitrogen.

Automatic interplanetary station NASA New Horizons was launched in January 2006. The focus of the unit is Pluto and its moon Charon. It is planned that the mission of the probe will be completed in 2026, though the plans may be revised.

Here's what to do if you constantly swayed.

The scientific name of seasickness - kinetosis, which means "motion sickness". For the first time this unpleasant phenomenon humanity is faced with the early days of sea travel. Hence the name of and strengthen, "sea" disease.

In the Middle Ages, sailors simply had to get used to these awful feelings throughout their lives. Now we have learned to deal with the disease, due to the development of transport, we have a much better chance with her face. Car, bus, train, plane - that is, any vehicle that creates a monotonous fluctuations.

Where does motion sickness

The vestibular apparatus, to tell you the position of the body in space, confuses our brain perceives visual signals, and they begin to work not in sync, and every man for himself.

It is this contradiction causes sensations of motion sickness, including all derivatives sad consequences for us. Fortunately, it is quite possible to fight - at the time, with the disease successfully fought and won him such great men like Julius Caesar, Charles Darwin, and even Admiral Nelson.

Behavior

It is enough to make a few relatively simple movements to nauseating dizziness decreased several times. First, push her head against the back seat so that it is moved as little as possible. Second, focus on your own breath - count the number of breaths and try not to think about anything.

Music

Ironically, seasickness assists and favorite music. The fact that the brain is too busy with the pleasure of listening to - resources to discomfort no longer remains. So, going on a voyage or journey by car, do not forget to take a player.

Adaptation

Our body is able to adapt to any conditions. The more trips to the "unpleasant" type of transport you make, the more likely the vestibular apparatus to normal and adapted to the new conditions. There are only 5% of people who can not get used to pitching to carry: your chance to become a very large sea wolf.

Antihistamines

Group actively antihistamines used to treat motion sickness. They suppress nausea and significantly increase the speed of adaptation to new conditions.

Placebo

Very popular are the so-called homeopathic remedies. They work only the placebo effect, since it does not contain any active substance. Going on a long voyage? Read some rave reviews about these medications, take it and enjoy the magical ability of the brain to turn the desired into reality.

Acupuncture Bracelet

These mysterious but effective devices have appeared in China - the homeland of acupuncture medicine. They really help, but do not expect results immediately. Before the start of the bracelet can go forty minutes - well, we can only throw in the teeth stronger and try to look at one point.

Patch

You can try to buy the pharmacy special plasters against seasickness. The gel that they contain consists of various extracts of peppermint and ginger. These substances have a beneficial effect on the nervous system, exerting a calming effect on the whole.
