A change of scenery in such circumstances is the best medicine allowing you to shift your attention and look at the world from a different angle. It can positively affect mood and help to refresh, cheer up and change the course of your life.

In his book "The Destroyer of Stereotypes" Gregory Burns made a very clever point:

“Sometimes, in order to shift the perceptual system from the usual category, it is enough just to change the environment. This is one of the reasons why restaurants are among the places where amazing discoveries. A more radical change environment- say, traveling to another country is even more efficient. Being in unfamiliar places, the brain is forced to think in new categories. It is thanks to this process that the working capacity of the brain increases, and it begins to rush around old ideas, but with new pictures, creating something amazing and creative.

Simply put, a change of scenery is a good way to get our imaginations and best solution to get out of the creative crisis.

How to change the situation?

The fact that a change of scenery is useful to any person is now clear. But what to do when such "diversity" as - the way to work, walking to shops, visiting and other "exciting" activities do not help to shake off blinders, everyday routine and take a fresh look at the world?

It is best to take a vacation for a few weeks to go on a trip abroad, to visit a country with a different culture, other customs and traditions, a different climate and nature. If you prefer a passive pastime, go to the sea, soak up the beach, breathe sea ​​air, bask in the sun. Outdoor enthusiasts can, for example, go on a safari to Africa or arrange a tour of Europe, visiting several states at once, where they will learn a lot of new things and get a lot of positive impressions.

Abroad is good, but if there is no way to go there, you can have a great rest at home. Unity with nature, fresh air and the absence of city noise is great way change the situation, understand how to understand yourself, restore calmness and peace of mind, charge positive energy to get back to work with renewed vigor. Where you go - to the sea (river or lake), to the village or decide to visit the ancient Russian cities - you decide.

« Travel teaches more than anything else. Sometimes one day spent in other places gives more than ten years of life at home.» France A.

If it is needed change of scenery, get distracted from routine affairs and sort yourself out, and they don’t give you a vacation, go on weekends to nature (to the forest for mushrooms, fishing, to the country, just to the forest for a picnic) or somewhere else. Have not been to a restaurant for a long time - invite your wife (husband) and taste some exotic dish together, have never played paintball - go with friends and let all your friends go out negative emotions... you can always think of something to do, if there is a desire. It is important to remember that even in one day with proper planning rest, you can get a lot of new experiences, returning home a completely different person.

In moments when the holidays are still far away and there is so much work that you have to work even on weekends, and you need to change the situation, you can just walk around the city. Visit places you have not been to for a long time, but which bring back fond memories.

The evil influence of the prison and other correctional institutions on their inhabitants lies precisely in the monotony of the surrounding reality and the impossibility of changing the situation. A free person always has the opportunity to leave the room and take a walk. Then why do we, having the opportunity, spend so little time walking in the fresh air, contemplating the world around us? Instead of making good use of our time outside of work and taking a little break from dull everyday life, we often spend time monotonously - at the computer or with the TV remote control ...

let yourself at least occasionally relax, change the situation and relax. Spend time with family, loved ones, and friends who you don't see very often. Get out of your normal state! Live not only by setting goals, planning and scheduling, change something in own life, bring novelty into it, then it will sparkle for you with a variety of colors and give you inspiration!

Speaking of a change of scenery, we do not always mean only vacation with rest. In fact, you can change anything on the different stages and for some definite (or vice versa indefinite) time. You can change jobs, change environment, or even change your place of residence. A change of residence can also be different - from moving to another apartment or another city, to moving to another country. Of course, this does not always happen because of the desire to change the situation, but also because of it too. For measures such as changing permanent residence or searching for new job people often go from the desire to drastically change their lives. And I think in most cases it is not in vain, because with a radical change in the situation, our attitude to our activities, to ourselves and other people changes. This is how we feel responsible for our lives. We build new relationships and learn to prioritize correctly.

A change of scenery in an apartment or room, in an office or workplace is also part of the escape from everyday life and in a good way refresh the perception. Change visual images will benefit you and color your gray everyday life. Rearrange furniture or less bulky items, tidy up and get rid of unnecessary items. Make repairs, repaint the walls, put new wallpaper, etc.

Many talk and talk about the benefits of a change of scenery, including such funny guys as Stas Davydov. Videos from project "Goat":

Before all mankind is the most important task- Preservation of the diversity of all organisms living on Earth. All species (vegetation, animals) are closely interconnected. The destruction of even one of them leads to the disappearance of other species interconnected with it.

From the very moment when man invented tools and became more or less intelligent, his comprehensive influence on the nature of the planet began. The more a person develops, the more greater influence it has had an effect on the earth's environment. How does man influence nature? What is positive and what is negative?

Negative points

There are pluses and minuses of human influence on nature. To begin, consider negative examples pernicious:

1. Deforestation associated with the construction of highways, etc.
2. Soil pollution occurs due to the use of fertilizers and chemicals.
3. Reducing the number of populations due to the expansion of areas for fields with the help of deforestation (animals, losing their normal habitat, die).
4. The destruction of plants and animals due to the difficulties of their adaptation to a new life, greatly changed by man, or simply their extermination by people.
5. and water by diverse and by people themselves. For example, in pacific ocean there is a "dead zone" where a huge amount of garbage floats.

Examples of human influence on the nature of the ocean and mountains, on the state of fresh water

The change in nature under the influence of man is very significant. The flora and fauna of the Earth suffer greatly, water resources are polluted.

As a rule, light debris remains on the surface of the ocean. In this regard, the access of air (oxygen) and light to the inhabitants of these territories is hindered. Numerous species of living creatures are trying to look for new places for their habitat, which, unfortunately, not everyone succeeds.

Every year, ocean currents bring millions of tons of garbage. This is the real disaster.

Deforestation on mountain slopes also has a negative impact. They become bare, which contributes to the occurrence of erosion, as a result, loosening of the soil occurs. And this leads to destructive collapses.

Pollution occurs not only in the waters of the oceans, but also fresh water. Every day, thousands of cubic meters of sewage or industrial waste enter the rivers.
And contaminated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers.

The terrible consequences of oil spills, mining

Just one drop of oil renders approximately 25 liters of water unfit for drinking. But this is not the worst. A fairly thin film of oil covers the surface of a huge area of ​​water - about 20 m 2 of water. It is detrimental to all living things. All organisms under such a film are doomed to slow death because it prevents the access of oxygen to the water. It is too direct influence man on the nature of the earth.

People extract minerals from the bowels of the Earth, formed over several million years - oil, coal, and so on. Such industrial production, together with cars, is emitted into the atmosphere carbon dioxide in huge quantities, which leads to a catastrophic decrease in the ozone layer of the atmosphere - the protector of the Earth's surface from bringing death ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

Over the past 50 years, the air temperature on Earth has increased by only 0.6 degrees. But this is a lot.

Such warming will lead to an increase in the temperature of the World Ocean, which will contribute to the melting of polar glaciers in the Arctic. Thus, the most global problem- the ecosystem of the Earth's poles is disturbed. Glaciers are the most important and voluminous sources of clean fresh water.

benefit of people

It should be noted that people bring some benefit, and considerable.

From this point of view, it is also necessary to note the influence of man on nature. The positive lies in the activities carried out by people to improve the environment environment.

In many vast areas of the earth, different countries protected areas, reserves and parks are organized - places where everything is preserved in its original form. This is the most reasonable influence of man on nature, positive. In such protected areas, people contribute to the conservation of flora and fauna.

Thanks to their creation, many species of animals and plants have survived on Earth. Rare and already endangered species are necessarily listed in the Red Book created by man, according to which fishing and collection are prohibited.

Also, people create artificial water channels and irrigation systems that help maintain and increase

On a large scale, activities are also carried out for the planting of diverse vegetation.

Ways to solve emerging problems in nature

To solve problems, it is necessary and important, first of all, the active influence of man on nature (positive).

What about biological resources(animals and plants), then they should be used (extracted) in such a way that individuals always remain in nature in quantities that contribute to the restoration of the previous population size.

It is also necessary to continue work on the organization of reserves and planting forests.

Carrying out all these activities to restore and improve the environment is a positive impact of man on nature. All this is necessary for the good of oneself.

After all, the well-being of human life, like all biological organisms depends on the state of nature. Now all mankind faces the most the main problem- creation of a favorable state and stability of the living environment.

An interesting trip, a seaside vacation, and even just a change of scenery treat stress for a reason - new experiences trigger active neurogenesis which helps to hide old memories behind new impressions.

hippocampus The subcortical region of the brain is shaped like a seahorse (from which it got its name). Has extremely importance for memory formation and spatial learning.

When scientists discovered certain area hippocampal stem cells dividing to form new neurons, they thus proved that nerve cells are restored. Then it was possible to show that neurogenesis occurs not only in the children's brain, but also in the adult brain (both in animals and in humans). It remains only to prove that it affects the growth of neurons. For example, there is now an active hypothesis that there is a link between neurogenesis, the ability to survive stress and environmental influences. This time it was experimentally confirmed by American specialists Michael Lehmann and Robert Schloesser from National Institute brain health (National Institute of Mental Health) and the National Institutes of Health (National Institutes of Health) in Bethesda, USA.

Neurogenesis occurs in the so-called subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Here the stem cells nervous tissue differentiate into new nerve cells, which are incorporated into nerve connections hippocampus, and also migrate to other parts of the brain.

To find out if this process affects the behavior of animals in stressful situation, scientists used transgenic laboratory mice, in which, with the help of genetic manipulation, the formation of new nerve cells. The control group consisted of ordinary laboratory mice.

How Mice Received the Prey Complex

The mice were subjected to severe social stress. To do this, they were placed in a strange cage, in which an unfamiliar male lived, controlling his territory. At the first stage, the owner and the stranger were separated by a perforated partition, so that the animals saw each other and smelled someone else's smell, but did not physically touch.

At the second stage, the partition was opened for five minutes, and the owner attacked the stranger. The planted mice defended themselves from the aggressor as best they could: they took a fighting stance, tried to repel attacks and hit the floor hard with their tails. But the owner, defending his territory, always won, and from time to time the behavior of the placed mice changed. They fought back less and less, more and more often huddled in a corner and assumed a pose of submission. For two weeks of fights on foreign territory, they developed a victim complex - a severe depressive state.

New experiences save you from depression

After the end of the mouse fights, the groups of both transgenic and control animals were divided in half. The first half of the groups were housed in their home cages, and the other half in cages with enriched media. They contained the most interesting objects for mice: soft material for the nest, wheels for running, ladders, as well as different size plastic tubes in which mice could hide.

After a three-week rest in normal or improved conditions, the mice were again raised conflict situation to compare whether their behavior has changed in the meantime. Mice resting from fights normal conditions, during new collisions with the aggressor behaved in the same way as after the first experience of defeats. They hid in a corner, took a subordinate posture and froze. Everything indicated that their depressed, depressed state - the victim complex - had not disappeared anywhere.

The same behavior was demonstrated by transgenic mice (which did not produce new neurons). And everyone, even vacationers in enriched conditions.

But the mice control group, who had been in improved cells, showed much greater activity: they resisted the aggressor and behaved as if they had forgotten about their negative experience defeats.

Biologists spent with mice additional tests to assess their condition. Control mice, after being in an enriched environment, differed in all tests from other animals in depression. They did not lose their exploratory interest in unfamiliar surroundings, they did not lose their desire for pleasure - they preferred water sweetened with saccharin to ordinary water, they showed less fear when spending time in a lighted cell. Depressed mice from the rest of the groups did not show curiosity, did not want to drink sweet water and sat in the dark.

But it needs new neurons

The experiment showed that exposure to an enriched environment cured mice of depression caused by defeat in conflicts. But in order for such a treatment to work, there must be neurogenesis in the brain - the formation of new neurons. If you block it, the enriched environment does not work.

Discussing the mechanisms of action of an enriched environment, the authors suggest that it reduces the emotional reactivity of animals and enhances emotional stability. This conclusion is confirmed by a decrease in the production of stress hormones under these conditions. And apparently, the formation of new neurons - necessary condition for the ability to cope with stress. And besides, new neurons are included in the formation of new memory, which is necessary for the development of an enriched environment.

According to the authors of the article in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, The symptoms and manifestations of murine depression are similar to post-traumatic depression in humans. And, therefore, in the treatment of the latter, the same methods can be used.

Under cellular conditions under the influence psychological factors and with improper feeding, the resistance of the body of animals to diseases is greatly reduced, so proteins, like other animals, are susceptible to various diseases. When keeping animals at home, you must strictly follow the basic rules of sanitary regime and personal hygiene in order to protect your pets from disease. In addition, during childbirth and during the period of raising offspring, there are often unexplained cases the death of young animals and females, which occur in connection with the new conditions of their habitat, which differ from the conditions in nature.

First of all, so that your animals feel good and never get sick, need to take proper care of them.. In addition, it is necessary to keep the newly acquired squirrel in quarantine for one month and only then transplant the new animal into common cell with your other pets.

Change of scenery, as a rule, also strongly affects general condition animal. He may feel sad, his appetite decreases and lethargy appears. special attention and care requires animals in the first month of stay in your apartment. During this time, they wean from the old conditions and get used to the new home environment and to people. During this period, try to give them especially a lot of time so that the animals get used to you and consider you theirs.

At keeping animals in quarantine you need to carefully monitor his health for a month and measure his body temperature. If you know your pet's normal body temperature, then any deviation from the norm will indicate that the animal does not feel well.
If there are several animals in quarantine, for example, a male and a female, the sick animal must be transferred to another cage.

Very often, young females refuse or are reluctant to feed their young with milk. In such cases, the mammary glands are examined, and if the female turns out to be healthy and she has milk, then it is recommended to leave her at the brood, and so that the babies do not die of hunger, they should be fed with milk through a pipette for several days. If the female begins to feed the cubs normally during this time, artificial feeding can be stopped.

If the mammary gland does not secrete milk or the female stubbornly refuses to feed the offspring, then she is rejected, and the cubs are placed with another female (it can be of a different species, for example, with a rat that has cubs), and she feeds the foundlings until they are independent.

If there is no female suitable for these purposes, then the cubs are artificially fed with boiled milk, first through a pipette, and then with the help of a nipple. The following accessories are required for this purpose. A heat emitter, which can be used as a heating pad used in medicine. This device is used to heat orphans and sick animals.

1. Plastic syringes without needles for feeding newborn orphans and cubs who, for some reason, do not have enough female milk.

2. Lots of soft and absorbent paper towels.

Goat's or cow's milk can be used as a milk substitute for squirrels ( feed warm), and also at the age of several days, you can feed gruel, to which a little glucose or condensed milk is added ( for one part of baby food 50 ml of condensed milk with a fat content of 12%). Later, a small amount of calcium powder (such as calcium gluconate) is added to this mixture, as well as a small amount of sugar at the tip of a teaspoon. When feeding orphaned cubs, substitutes for cat and dog milk have proven themselves well.

Cases of the birth of dead cubs in healthy females are extremely rare. They occur with malnutrition or malnutrition, due to a lack of vitamins and trace elements, as well as some infections, such as listeriosis or brucellosis. Females during childbirth, if they are fed a balanced diet, die very rarely. Their death can occur as a result of a spasm of the unpaired uterus, caused, for example, by a strong fright. To prevent stress, you should always approach the nesting house with a pregnant female carefully and without much noise. Real pathological births occur mainly for two reasons - in violation of the asynchrony of labor from the right and left sections of the uterus or the wrong position of the embryos. There are also cases of death of pregnant females from sepsis due to the decomposition of dead embryos, as well as as a result of ectopic pregnancy.

It is easy to confuse with stillborn cubs that were born normal, but died already on the nest litter for some reason, for example, because their mother did not accept them, which happens not only during the first birth in a cage, but also in wild females who were caught already pregnant. In the first case, the cause is insufficient development maternal instinct, in the second - the lack of milk as a result of strong, prolonged stress. In addition, the female may accidentally trample the newly born cub. It often happens that a young female, who killed the first brood due to inexperience, successfully raises the next ones.

Animals forced to live in a cramped cage are often at enmity with each other. At the same time, the behavior of animals of different sexes and temperaments sometimes differs quite strongly: the male, as a rule, guards the area of ​​the entire cage. Females act differently: one cannot calm down until " alien"is in a cage, which ultimately leads her to death from hunger and persecution, the other is limited to the fact that, having driven her rival into a corner, she goes to the house and rests there. The female guards only the nest and can be aggressive even to the male.

Hello, friends! Our life is a closed wheel: home-work-home. This routine and routine in life can sometimes lead to very serious consequences, starting with neurosis and ending with depression. There is a feeling of deep dissatisfaction with one's life and. It seems that life is meaningless. And the only way to get out of this vicious circle is a change of scenery.

Why do we feel dissatisfied with our way of life?

• A heavy and monotonous style of work, when instead of the prescribed 8 hours we stay at work for a considerable time and come home only to spend the night.
• Monotonous type of work, when the same work is mechanically performed for quite a long time.

• Frequent failures, prolonged experiences of difficult life situations.
• A lot of things that management requires to be done quickly and efficiently.
• External stimuli (temporary - repairs in a neighboring apartment or permanent - low salary with seemingly high employment).
• Increased family troubles, conflicts and inattention of people close to you.
• Fears, doubts, contradictions, non-fulfillment of desires.

How does it appear outwardly?

• You are in a bad mood all day, you get tired quickly and there is no feeling of rest even after sleep.
• There is irritability towards relatives and colleagues, without causal anxiety.
• There are "mistakes" in the performance of some cases.
• Focusing on a problem.
• Low or high self-esteem.
• Anxiety, insomnia or other sleep disorders.
• Recurrent headaches, dizziness, dizziness blood pressure, pain in the heart or abdomen.

Psychologists say that the best remedy The solution to these problems is a change of scenery. Take a vacation for a few weeks, even if it doesn't work out, weekends will be enough if you plan your vacation correctly.

A change of scenery will help

A change of scenery can be a tourist trip

Here are some options . A trip abroad, on the sea will provide an opportunity not only to relax, but also to meet with new culture. And lovers of passive recreation will find the opportunity to soak up the sun and swim in the warm sea, go diving or take a walk on the sea.

Other impressions, other people, cuisine contribute to a quick change in mood. Usually such trips always bring a lot of impressions, meeting new people, the history of the country or region where you are. You inadvertently switch to another “wave of communication”. There is only positive and friendly communication here. But do not forget that you should also be the same. That is, everything that was there, at home, must be forgotten.

If it is not possible to go somewhere, such there are tourist routes in our country, and inexpensive and very interesting. It may be along our great rivers with stops at big cities. It can be rafting (I have one acquaintance with friends who rafted along one of the rivers of the Urals and received indelible impressions from this trip).

If there is no such possibility, then why not organize small picnic with friends on the bank of a river or just in nature, light a fire, cook fish soup from freshly caught fish, sing songs with a guitar ...

Or organize a hen party (bachelor party) and dance until you drop. also add mood and create a lot of positive emotions.

And you have not forgotten that for relaxation and at least a temporary change of scenery, it can be going to the theatre, cinema, water park or restaurant?

A trip to the country or to the village to visit relatives will also leave you with pleasant emotions. Working with the land (weeding beds, harvesting, harvesting) all this will give a pleasant feeling of need to others. And unity with nature, when you go to the forest for mushrooms or berries, fishing at dawn...

Try to lie down on a warm green grass and don't think about anything, look into the passing clouds... Look at your problems from a different angle... Of course, if it happens in the summer. What's worse in winter? Go skiing or just on foot, but in the company of your friends or children! Imagine this, and you will already feel good and your mood will rise!

Whatever form of recreation you choose, for a few days or maybe even for a few hours - all this will be a change of scenery for you. Sometimes you yourself need to take the initiative, not to wait for someone to come and arrange some kind of entertainment for you.

Phytotherapy

And if there is no opportunity yet to actively relax, try drinking herbal infusions that have a calming effect. These are herbal infusions of valerian, motherwort, lemon balm, oregano. When prone to depression bad mood, dark thoughts, pessimism) it is recommended to take herbal infusions that awaken optimism (hawthorn fruits, borage grass, oregano grass, tartar grass). All herbs are brewed with boiling water at the rate of 1 tablespoon per 200 grams of water. Infuse overnight and take 100 ml (half a glass) 2 times a day in the morning and evening. And the juices of these plants are even more active.

Can be taken after a course of treatment: tincture of lure, or tincture of ginseng, or tincture of radiola rosea. They are taken 20 drops 2 times a day.

Physical education

Don't neglect physical activity. This type of treatment and maintenance of health has a very large importance, since the work of the muscles leads to the release into the blood of substances that regulate the work nervous system and normalizing the ratio of excitation and inhibition. In addition, classes bring satisfaction due to the production of serotonin - the hormone of happiness.

Balanced diet

And still very important point is a balanced diet. It is recommended to add various spices and bitterness to food to activate metabolism. Try to eat foods with enough vitamins, trace elements, minerals that are necessary to increase mental and physical activity. Include in your diet, they also cheer you up.

Do not forget to love your parents, children and loved ones, communicate with them more often. After all pleasant conversation- this is positive emotions, which will not let you become discouraged and will be a variety in your life. And together with your loved ones, you can change the situation together and have a pleasant rest in any of the ways described above.
