UV A broken heart HURTS. It hurts so much that I don't want to live. But the heartache goes away. Sometimes it seems that it will last forever, but believe me, it will pass. In the meantime... it won't be easy for now. It’s like an open wound in my heart, and a huge black cloud in my soul. On bad days, I felt lethargic, I could not eat.

Love stimulates positive brain activity. It is enough for a person in love to look at a photograph of a chosen one to activate brain areas associated with positive emotions and rewards. Scientific evidence proves that we can consciously change the way we think by focusing on certain things. If we focus on everything that angers us, pisses us off and makes us unhappy, and clings to these thoughts, we will strengthen their power over us. But if we redirect our thoughts in a more positive direction and consciously focus on positive and happy memories, it is these neural connections that will be strengthened.

Happy Year

Every person strives for love and happiness. It all starts in infancy: the bond between mother and child is instinctive, extremely strong and necessary for survival. The love we receive in early childhood affects the formation of the brain and character, determines the actions in adolescence and adulthood, when we begin to look for a partner. The romantic myth says that once you find your soul mate, you will live happily ever after. But in reality, everything is much more complicated, although the reward is much more valuable. People do not remain the same all their lives, but develop and change constantly. Whatever your relationship is now, it won't stay that way forever.

From The Happy Year

Do you pay enough attention to your partner or take him for granted? Do you communicate heart to heart or just out of habit are you around all day long? Sometimes professional duties require you to immerse yourself in work; domestic difficulties and caring for children also affect relationships, passion subsides over time, and partners begin to think: maybe it was just physical attraction, and not love? What are your priorities? Ask yourself what are you willing to do to improve your relationship? Do you think in terms of "we" or "I am separate and my partner is separate"? Ask any person what happiness means to him, and he will describe everything that gives a feeling of peace, serenity, a sense of euphoria and belonging. It is not easy to reach this state in a relationship right away. The difference between a relationship and two parallel lives is that partners respect each other's needs and find compromises.

From the book "Happy Year"

In early childhood, the child is absorbed only by his own needs. He is only interested in his own comfort and survival. But here he is growing, his brain is developing, and the kid understands that the needs of others are no less important than his own. With this discovery comes the important ability to appreciate others and to feel that they value you; friendly relations are formed; people discover that caring for others brings joy. Only then do we begin to feel loved, to feel connected to other people who appreciate and respect us, and, in turn, begin to appreciate and respect ourselves. Loving-kindness is what brings happiness.

From the book "A Happy Year"

Life is made up of love and loss, and in a relationship you need to learn not only to receive, but also to give. When a relationship ends, it seems that life has ended with it, and you will never be able to laugh, smile or love anyone else. Lack of reciprocity is just as painful - a person who feels unwanted experiences a sense of loss, debilitating and sometimes leading to self-destruction. Love is a gift, but it brings not only joy, but also pain. And it can take a lot of courage to get up off your knees, dust yourself off and move on with your life.

From Happy Year

Express love for what is important to you. Sometimes we just don't show interest, misleading others. There are many ways to be enthusiastic: doing more, inspiring others to see the goal, constantly remembering what has already been done and why it is important.

The Power of Emotional Intelligence

10

A woman is far more concerned with how she looks than with what she feels. Even worse, some ladies (and men) begin to believe, even subconsciously, that the main task of the weaker sex is to please a partner, although in fact sex implies that both give and enjoy equally. As a result, other ladies evaluate the quality of sexual contact by the pleasure of their man, and not by their own. (“If it was good for him, then it was good for me.”)

Romantic love is attachment and emotional intimacy. It is based on the desire, sewn into the subcortex, to have a person nearby who you can rely on. Close and beloved, with whom it is safe and comfortable.

Now we know that love is nothing but the most perfect, infallible evolutionary mechanism that allows a person as a species to survive. And this is not because it makes us be fruitful and multiply. People manage to continue the race even without love! But because it helps us build emotional connections with people who are important and valuable to us - those who will become a safe haven in the raging ocean of life. Love is a reliable bulwark designed to provide the protection and support that everyone needs to survive the inevitable ups and downs.

From Hold Me Tight

Love is not the icing on the cake of life. This is the most basic human need. The same as the need for water or oxygen. By understanding and accepting this, we can easily get to the heart of relationship problems.

From "Hold Me Tight"

14

Changes in the relationship of lovers are so rapid, chaotic and vivid that we do not have time to realize what is really happening. And often we do not understand how we react. But if it were possible to view the development of events in slow motion, we would notice the turning points and the directions chosen at the crossroads. The need for affection and the strong emotions that accompany it arise suddenly. Thanks to them, the conversation from everyday issues instantly turns to the problems of safety and survival.

From the book Hold Me Tight

15

Love can really drive you crazy, whether it's a new relationship or an established relationship. For example, the fear of rejection often causes low self-esteem, extreme anxiety, overreactions, and an obsession with a loved one that surpasses the love of a partner. At the same time that the love in your heart begins to fade away, you may become "emotionally numb" and worry that you have lost the ability to love, while experiencing a strong sense of guilt.

From the book "Paradox of Passion"

Paradox of Passion

16

The very desire to attract another person, to gain emotional power over him carries the danger of upsetting the balance of relations. This is because the feeling of falling in love is biochemically associated with a feeling of loss of control. As soon as you feel that you are in complete control of the situation, or you realize that you are confident in your partner’s love, passion begins to fade. The challenge, the desire to conquer, the emotional spark and the delight of falling in love disappear.

From The Passion Paradox

17

My clients respond well to the idea that the real culprit in a situation is the Passion Paradox. I explain that none of the partners can be blamed for the resulting imbalance, but if you work together, you can find the source of the imbalance, and then apply the techniques I have developed and correct the situation.

From the book "Paradox of Passion"

18

In order to achieve reliability in relationships, couples confuse love and the desire to merge together. And this has an extremely negative effect on the sexual side of their lives. In order to maintain passion, partners must also maintain some distance. Eroticism requires that each in a couple retain their own individuality. In other words, eroticism flourishes precisely in the space remaining between partners. To communicate with a loved one, we need to be able to accept the existence of this distance and the uncertainty associated with it.

Captive Breeding

19

Not all lovers need passion; sometimes people run away from it. Some relationships are based on warm feelings, tenderness, mutual support, and partners prefer to stay in a safe zone. They are closer to love based on patience, and not on passion. It is more important for them to find peace. Of course, there is no universal solution, and no one path can be considered the only right one.

From the book Breeding in Captivity

20

Love stands on two pillars: willingness to yield and independence. We want to be close to our partner, and at the same time it is important for us to keep some distance. One simply does not exist without the other. If the distance is too great, communication cannot be established. But if there is no distance at all and the partners merge together, they lose their independence. And then there is nothing to overcome, there is neither motivation nor the opportunity to cross the bridge and find yourself on the territory of another; there is no partner's intimate world that the other seeks to enter.
