"Greedy beef, pickled cucumber!" Is it so bad to be greedy? This, of course, is not about pathology, from which you need to be able to distinguish your healthy greed, but about what people mistakenly call greed, but in fact it is a healthy approach. These are your personal boundaries, the ability to say “no”, adequate self-esteem. But today I want to write about those stereotypes and habits that really provoke pathological greed in us and prevent us from enjoying life here and now: 1. You need to be able to share. Everything, as always, comes from childhood. Caring mothers, fathers, grandparents taught us that we SHOULD share. But, as it turned out later, in fact, if you sincerely do not want to share, then it is simply harmful for you and brings up a victim in you. That same sacrifice, which in turn will cause a feeling of guilt every time if, for example, you ate deliciously for lunch in a restaurant, but you cooked dumplings for dinner at home for your husband because you were tired after work and don’t have the strength to cook...2. Saving for a rainy day. This was once very important, and people stocked up and stocked up, often denying themselves and their loved ones a lot, just to “get by” later. This was justified by the era and the memory of the past, but when clearing away the rubble at the dachas of deceased grandparents, contemporaries often do not understand why all this had to be stored and not used for its intended purpose during life. They are accustomed to postponing life to the last detail, greedily and scrupulously, in anticipation of a rainy day, taking away the pleasure of their present moment. It is very sad to see a mountain of untouched sets when the one who bought them and kept them so carefully is long gone. A kopek, of course, saves the ruble, but often, if this phrase is misunderstood, it steals life.3. Do not tip. Believing that in this way you enrich others and impoverish yourself. In general, the culture of tipping has already been instilled in many of us, but there are still people who consider others (for example, service sector workers) to be serfs, unworthy of bonus pay, or “too greedy.” Do you remember that “the hand of the giver will never fail”? So, I would also add: the hand of a wise and appropriate giver will definitely not become scarce. In my work, I see that the more strength and energy I put into the consulting process, the more effective the return. It's the same with money. The one who is sorry for 5-10% of the check will not get rich, or he will simply achieve wealth at the cost of such work and loss of health and relationships that everything “acquired by back-breaking labor” and denials to himself in many ways will simply have to be given away to restore himself. This is the law of energy exchange. I hope you found this post useful! Be happy! Always yours, Nadezhda ❤ #psychology
