Psychologists believe that a person's personality, his character is fully formed by the age of seven. In the period of growing up, this skeleton is overgrown with new beliefs and habits, nevertheless, a person practically does not change dramatically until the end of his life. But sometimes you really want to forget everything, dump the burden of accumulated experience and problems and just be different.
Instructions
Step 1
The life of any person, in fact, is a complex set of reflexes and stereotyped models, to which he obeys without hesitation. In fact, this is good, because if it were required to remember every second about how to breathe, how to swallow or how to walk, the load on the brain would be enormous.
Step 2
But, unfortunately, this principle also works at the behavioral level. A person quickly gets used to thinking in templates, almost reflexively shows emotions to certain events simply because he was taught this way, it was accepted in the family, an authoritative person did this, and someone said that it was right. The list is endless.
Step 3
When there is no apparent reason from the outside that would turn the whole worldview, it is quite difficult to restructure your personality. To be different, you must first analyze the system of your values and beliefs. Thoroughly disassemble habitual patterns of behavior and realize why you react to life situations in this way and not in another way.
Step 4
When you come to certain conclusions, think about whether such reactions are so ethical, rational or logical in a particular situation. Maybe a lot has changed in your life lately, and the beliefs that were acceptable a year ago are now outdated.
Step 5
Develop a new strategy, determine what will now be important in life and what will not be too important. Be sincere with yourself. If you only verbally acknowledge the correctness of new judgments, but deep down you resist them, in a month or two you will again return to your usual behavior.
Step 6
Be prepared for the fact that at the beginning of a new life stage you will have to control your words, actions and even thoughts. Check them every minute for compliance with the chosen model until they become a habit. When the consciousness learns to "think differently", new beliefs will move to the level of the unconscious and will automatically begin to control your reactions.
