Mikhail Labkovsky is a renowned psychologist whose 30-year practice and personal experiences have resulted in six rules that consistently help people overcome neurosis. Like many professionals in his field, he was motivated to enter the profession due to his own struggles and found success in his work. Mikhail created his six rules to help people find peace, confidence, and happiness. Although, these rules are known to be quite radical but effective in dealing with neurosis. Who can benefit from these rules? The rules can be helpful for anyone who is struggling in life and may not be able to see the positive aspects of the world. However, they are particularly recommended for neurotics, as they often have deeply ingrained patterns of behavior that need to be broken and replaced with new ones. It's worth noting that while the rules are designed for neurotics, they assume a baseline of mental health and healthy desires. Any issues related to mental illness should be addressed by a p...
I was thinking back to a while ago, when I talked about building my " inner sanctuary " with little rituals. And lately, with everything still being so... much , those small, everyday things have become even more vital. They're not just about finding peace; they're about holding time gentle, even when the world outside feels anything but. It’s funny how a simple habit can become an anchor, right? Like making my morning tea in that one specific mug, feeling the warmth of it in my hands. Or taking five minutes to really stretch my body after sitting for too long, just feeling the quiet release. Even watering my plants and talking to them a little, wishing them well – it’s a tiny interaction, but it connects me to something living and growing. These aren't big, impressive routines. Nobody else even sees them, probably. But they're mine. They’re these soft edges I put around my day, creating pockets of predictability and calm. In a world where so much is uncertain...
Hey everyone, I know my last post was… heavy. And thank you, really, for just being there to read it. Sometimes it helps just to put those feelings out into the world. It’s a part of my truth right now, and I believe in sharing the full picture, not just the easy parts. After writing that, I spent some time just sitting with it, and with everything around me. And what kept coming back to me, even in the midst of everything, were these little moments of softness . Like, even when the world outside is so sharp and loud, you still see so much quiet, determined care. It’s in the way a neighbor shares a homemade pie, just because. It’s in the hands of a woman tending a small patch of flowers near a bombed-out building, refusing to let beauty completely disappear. It’s in the way parents hold their kids just a little tighter, or friends just show up for each other, no questions asked. These are simple things, right? But they are everything. I think about how much of our feminine nature...
Hey everyone, Lately, I've been thinking about how my body isn't just a thing I have, you know? It's my home. It carries me through every single day, and it tells the story of everything I've lived through. It's a truly beautiful story, with all the bumps and twists and turns. A while back, I used to see my body as something to be managed — something to be a certain size, to look a certain way, to be "fixed." But now, my perspective has totally shifted. I've started to see it as a wise and loyal friend. It’s always telling me things, if I just slow down and listen. It tells me when I’m tired and need to rest, when I’m hungry and need to be fed, or when I’m anxious and need to breathe. My body speaks in feelings, in gut instincts, and in little aches and pains that are trying to get my attention. Learning to really listen to it — to trust its signals — has been a huge part of my journey. This realization feels so deeply connected to femininity. So much ...
