From the author: This article - written by one of my clients, was published in the magazine "Service 08" September 2011 No. 11 (121) Veliky Novgorod "Our life is what ours make it thoughts” Marcus Aurelius I didn’t want to go to a psychologist. I always considered myself strong and smart enough to understand and solve all my difficulties on my own. So I walked: a proud, strong girl with a load of unresolved issues behind my back, which became heavier and heavier every day, the lightness and joy of life disappeared. Everything became gray and gloomy, the mood deteriorated even for an insignificant reason, resentment and irritation accumulated in relationships with loved ones and dear people, and at work everything fell out of hand... And one fine day I realized that I was making an appointment over the phone for a visit to a psychological studio “Green City” and I think that it is a specialist psychologist who can help me understand and change my attitude towards the accumulated problems. What will the first meeting be like? Excitement. Doubts. Fear. And so I cross the threshold of the office: a comfortable environment, a friendly atmosphere, a respectful attitude and a sincere desire to help. Collaborative work to improve my life began to boil. At one of the first meetings I heard “Are you a good girl?” Certainly! – I thought. - I help everyone, I worry about everyone, I want to make them happy. And, as if in response to my thoughts, the question followed: “Are you happy”? The trigger worked - I burst into tears. I always wanted to be good and tried to do everything correctly, as I was taught, but for some reason there was no happiness. I was aware and afraid of this, but through tears I said everything that had hurt me over the years... I was getting to know myself again. While completing tasks and thinking about myself, I didn’t notice how my disgusting mood changed to good. It seemed like we weren’t doing anything special: we were talking about problems, I was listening to how we could improve our mood, increase and strengthen our self-confidence, get rid of guilt, say goodbye to fears... After a few weeks, I suddenly revealed that I love and accept myself as I am, such as there is. Unnoticed by myself, I got rid of many unpleasant experiences, and my husband once said that I had changed... for the better, I became calmer and happier. This was an achievement! I seriously thought about what exactly I want, how I can make my life happy. Now I understand that what happens is not so important, but how I feel about it. And most importantly, I learned to enjoy life! Later I learned that in addition to individual consultations in the “Green City” there are interesting classes aimed at improving the quality of life and creating wealth. Meetings, consultations, workshops help to better understand yourself, your desires, and find opportunities and resources to achieve your goals. Creating a good mood, learning relaxation skills, the ability to listen and understand your body, make it possible to remain calm and confident in your decisions and actions in any situation. I believed that miracles still happen. And the most amazing miracle is myself.
