When you lie in bed after a hard day’s work, the last thing you want to think about is which of the sleeping positions may be harmful to your health. The main thing is to quickly get into a comfortable position and fall asleep, and the rest is not important. However, some of the most comfortable and familiar positions are much more dangerous than they seem at first glance.

Sleeping on your stomach

Most often girls sleep on their stomachs, but it is this position that can harm the body. The fact is that in this position there is pressure on the spine and cervical spine. In addition, in some cases, sleeping on the stomach can lead to the development of destructive changes in the spine.

Sleeping on your back

And although sleeping on the stomach – the safest position for sleep, it is not recommended to sleep in it for all those who have problems with breathing. And also in this position increases snoring. And so there are no restrictions, only sheer benefit. Our favourite consequences are no wrinkles and a healthy back.

The first thing that catches our eye when we look at successful actors and businessmen is their posture. Indeed, non-verbal communication will tell your interlocutor much more than you can imagine. Take a close look at the postures of presidents and entrepreneurs. They often use gestures of authority. In doing so, they appear completely relaxed. In reality, it may not be like that at all, but nothing will give away their anxiety.

A great practice is to pick a celebrity you like and practise in front of a mirror how they move and speak. Focus on how you feel and see yourself. Chances are, visually, your height will be taller. It also does not hurt to update your wardrobe: in old things feel cosy, but a new bright dress and shoes oblige you to keep your posture. Remember, all the films and TV shows in which the heroine transformed, this is how the principle of dress for success works.

Blaming failure on your boss, the government, bad weather, a stranger on the bus or your partner is much easier than admitting defeat. Contrary to perception, successful people are not those who never make mistakes, but those who draw conclusions and move on. The main thing is to look at yourself not from below, as a passive creature, obedient to the will of fate, but a person who creates and changes reality for himself.

Yes, objectively there are things that do not depend on our will. For example, wars or natural disasters, but this does not mean that one should give up. Even in unfavourable conditions you can find opportunities. To be effective, we need to limit ourselves in time: not to be sad and passively indulge in dreams, but to act and make progress. The latter in any case is converted into experience, making closer to the goal.

Octopuses
Octopuses are skilful masters of escape, with some even escaping from their enclosures and swimming back into the wild. But their escapes aren’t all that surprising, given their higher brain-to-body ratio than any other known invertebrate species.

African grey parrots
African grey parrots are considered one of the most intelligent species of living creatures on the planet, rivalling even monkeys. In some areas, they surpass the abilities of five-year-old children.
African grey parrots can use deductive reasoning to solve problems, such as determining which of two cups contains a food reward. More advanced versions of the same test have revealed the parrots’ ability to think logically. In one such experiment, Griffin, the test subject, outperformed five-year-olds when it came to understanding the concepts of certainty and possibility.

Dog owners often notice that their pets watch television with curiosity. Until now, it was unknown whether they really enjoy watching or are just imitating human behaviour. It turns out that ponytails are even more selective in their choice of content! We found out what TV shows your dog would switch on if he had the remote control in his paws.

Thanks to scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who have revealed another secret about our pets’ lives! Researchers surveyed more than 1,246 pet owners from the US, UK, Canada and Australia. They took into account the gender, age, breed and environmental conditions of the pets.

Judging by the data, four-legged friends just love stories involving dogs (of course they do!), cats, horses, as well as livestock and wild animals. Now you know what to include if you have to leave the house for a while. Yes, your dog will love to watch a nature TV programme or, for example, the dog shows “Krafts” and “The Dog Box” about the shelter staff.

Work, and the team in particular, is a separate little world where you spend most of your adult life. And yes, unlike family, it is chosen, but sometimes the first impression turns out to be wrong. And to avoid making mistakes, let’s understand how to distinguish toxicity in work relationships.

Overtime is the norm. We realise that sometimes there are more projects than there are hours in a day, but regular delays at work should not be a habit and certainly not encouraged by management and other colleagues.

Gossip, gossip and more gossip. Let’s not lie, we too sometimes feel like gathering in one big granny on the bench to discuss anything and everything. But when gossip is out of the norm and you realise that any word you say can be used against you – it’s a surefire call that the collective is clearly not so easy and friendly.

Everything looks great on paper, but not so much in practice. We’re sure you’ve come across job descriptions that talk about corporate culture, a friendly (and family-like) team, coffee and biscuits. And at first it’s true, except that it turns out that you can hammer nails with biscuits for a long time, and the corporate culture turns to collecting money for a birthday party.
