We cannot even imagine what tomorrow is preparing for us. Life itself provides us with situations that we call hopeless. And we take a step backward, involuntarily, because we have to retreat not to previously prepared positions, but to nowhere. In his misfortune, a person becomes vulnerable, trouble literally sticks to him, and he falls into a vicious circle. So, in today's publication, we look at what a “vicious circle” means.
Where did this term come from
For the first time this concept was used in pharmacology. But he also has a second name - the logical circle. So, a vicious circle is a logical mistake or a deliberate ploy, in which any statement is deduced from itself.
It is worth noting that the term "vicious circle" is used in psychology, in fiction and, of course, in life. As for the latter, it can be a different kind of dependence: drug, alcohol, from gambling, meaningless purchases. But the list of what a vicious circle is united under one concept does not end there either. What does it mean? Most often, the meaning of this term is used in politics, advertising and propaganda in order to persuade the masses to their side, resorting to a number of methods and means based on logical errors. But is there a way to break out of the vicious circle?
Do not look for the guilty
Do not forget about the obvious, rather you need to forgive everyone and everything, and first of all yourself, because you need forces to fight, to search, to get out of the vicious circle. This is the most important moment in order to first pull yourself together. Call for help from friends and relatives, do not be alone with your misfortune. Do not think that your problems are indifferent to them. Ask not only people, ask God, read prayers, ask for help, intercession, patronage. In other words, begin to control your thoughts. And learn to relax both emotionally and physically. Bathe in the river, in the pool, walk a lot in the fresh air. Very good effect on your mental state is the care of your own garden.
The main thing is attitude to life
One of the main ways to avoid falling into a vicious circle is to engage in communities and healthy relationships. In order to feel happy, sometimes it’s enough that there are people nearby who are ready to help. In order to take a step towards happiness, you need not indulge in self-abasement, but look at the problem from the other side. Moreover, you need to remember that the value of the vicious circle can be greatly exaggerated, and this does not at all reflect your strengths. You need to learn not from the mistakes of others, but from your own reactions, since your choice, and therefore your happiness and development, may depend on how you react to the problem.
Sometimes, in order to break out of a vicious circle, one should take the position of an observer. And if you can observe, then you can go beyond the current situation, discard unnecessary emotions and follow your own reaction.
How hard it is to be young
It should be noted that the vicious circle is also a vicious circle, and almost every young specialist who has just graduated from a higher educational institution faces such a problem. In order to get a job, you need to have experience. But how to get it if one of the very first requirements of an employer is experience? It turns out some kind of vicious circle. Or, more precisely, vicious. Indeed, the lack of work experience for many companies is a repulsive factor, despite the fact that among university graduates there are actually more who will work more efficiently than their older colleagues.
In order to break out of the vicious circle, in this situation you should temporarily put aside your ambitions and start small. And after one year or a year and a half later, a young specialist with little experience has more opportunities to find a job and even to advance through the ranks. Or find a new and well-paid job. Since in the conditions of austerity, not all companies can afford professionals with work experience and strive to replace with cheaper labor. And for a young specialist this is good news. And perhaps the chains of the vicious circle will not be so strong?
