What kind of Reaper are you and why do you make spring come so late?

Preparing for summer, springtime vitaminosis, and weather that’s cranky are all big stressors on our bodies. This is what so often causes our brains to put off summer preparations until the last minute. Find out what “waiting” symptoms you have and how to start fighting them today.

1. Waiting is chewing

Diagnosis: “I eat all the time, and I can’t not eat: what, I’ll be hungry all day?”

Thesolution to the problem: PP (in other words, “proper nutrition”) has no placebo effect, that is, you do not need to convince your brain that a spoonful of fiber and two pieces of cottage cheese you should experience satiety – you really will experience it. It’s not for nothing that nutritionists always break down such familiar foods into their components (proteins, fats, carbohydrates) and put them on two scales. Thus, to get enough calories needed by your body, you can eat 4 bars of chocolate or snack on three healthy and varied meals during the day. Lifehack: in order to calculate the number of calories you need to lose weight or gain muscle mass, download a very fashionable and absolutely free Fat Secret app on your phone. And dedicate one evening at home to finding your favorite burgers, patties and even (!) milkshakes from fast food through search. I promise you that the calorie count of even the smallest and most innocuous purchase may very well surprise you.

2. Waiting is a dreamer

Diagnosis: “I want to go to Paris”; “Katya just got back from Thailand! Everything, now I want to go to Tai”; “I want a longboard, Sveta has one from work”; “I want, I want, I want…”.

Solution: Fight melancholy by setting real and desirable goals. Hang up your refrigerator with stickers with goals for the month, organize a challenge with your friends: who will lose weight faster or start going to bed on time? Don’t be afraid to tell people around you about what indicators in this or that sphere you are going to. Many active users of Instagram say that they started this social network solely to find the support of like-minded people.

3. waiting for a promise

Diagnosis: “I will buy a treadmill and start exercising!”; “I have a park near me, tomorrow I will start running”; “As soon as my salary comes, I will buy a fitness membership. It doesn’t matter that it is far away, I will go there.

Solution to the problem: do not put off the thoughts that you have during the day. Set yourself a task: start each day with one thing that scares you. Afraid to write an email to your boss or check your bank account? Start the day with just that. Just one strong action, which now there is no need to put off and drag with you ballast from day to day, can dramatically change the usual course of things.

4. Waiting is depresun

Diagnosis: want nothing.

Solution: many people mistakenly believe that their depression, so untimely appeared in the spring, is due solely to their personal problems, lack of motivation or work, which suddenly ceased to bring joy. Scientists and psychologists are trying hard to prove that this is not true and that in the case of apathy, which happens in spring, not the thoughts in your head are to blame, but the general exhaustion of the body after a long winter. Yes, yes, go to the pharmacy, buy vitamins and start looking at the world from a different perspective. Lifehack: choose effervescent vitamins that can be diluted in water. The fact is that they are much more quickly digested in the body, and therefore begin to act faster.

5. The classic Zhdun

Diagnosis: it’s about those who in spring are very much looking forward to summer, in summer complain that “it’s very hot” and “I wish it were autumn”, in fall think “I wish it were New Year’s Eve”, and on January 1, “I’m sick of winter, I wish it were spring”.

Solution: write out five things you love about this time of year or, for example, your project at work. Try to remember them more often, put a note with a list of items in front of you on your desk or put it as a bookmark in your diary. A very common phenomenon among metropolitan dwellers is to appreciate things only when they are no longer attainable – left in the past or will happen in the distant future. Learning to fully enjoy the moment that is happening to you now is priceless!
