Ten must try psychology hacks

1. If you're always worried whether or not you lock the door or turned your iron off just say some absolutely absurd phrase. When you're doing these things, the phrase could be different every single day. For example, you say green rabbit and turn the iron off or oppressive crab and lock the door. The next time you start doubting whether or not you did something you'll remember saying this weird phrase and it'll calm you down.

2. If a person tries to pull you into an argument or some kind of drama, say something nice to them. The old kill them with kindness trick really does stop them in their tracks. Another technique is to keep your calm and remain silent. There's nothing more irritating than being ignored. However, if you're trying to avoid an argument with your friend or partner try to put yourself in their shoes. This can help you understand if there's some point in their objections that you are missing.

3. 13. If you have that one lazy person on your team that slows the whole work process down, don't give them tasks by saying do this. It's better to say “start with this”. Psychologically, it'll seem like there's less work because according to this phrase, they should start with something small after they've done the first task, use the words very good now continue with this until they end up finishing what you wanted them to do in the first place.

4. 14. If you have to speak in public, don't forget to take a bottle of water with you. First of all, you'll need it since your nurse will make your mouth feel like the Sahara Desert. Also, you can take a pause to sip some water in order to remember a part of your speech that slipped your mind. The audience will never know and if you feel too anxious to speak in front of a large crowd, admit this fact to the audience right away. It lightens the mood, calms your nerves and it makes your listeners feel more sympathetic since most of them can probably relate.

5. 15. If someone is staring at you in the subway, it happens all too often right. Just look at their shoes don't give up keep gazing it'll drive them crazy.

6. 16. If you seem really worried each time you see someone you know; in the end this person will also start feeling worried every time they see you. So do with that information what you will.

7. 17. If someone has done something wrong but you don't want to sound too accusing, change the way you construct your sentences. For example, instead of saying you didn't close a window before you left, you can say the window was left open all night. They'll learn from their mistake and you won't seem like a meanie pointing the finger.

8. 18. If you didn't get a good night's sleep tell yourself that you did. I know it sounds like nonsense but it does work 100 percent if you say it with meaning. Scientists from Colorado College published a study in the Journal of experimental psychology in which they found that if you genuinely believe that you're well rested even if you're not your brain does function better.

9. 19. People are better at remembering what happened at the beginning and at the end of the day. As for anything that went on in between, it gets blurry. This is a great tip when it comes to job interviews; agree to a time that's either at the start of the workday or at the end of it, this way the employer will remember you among all the other candidates.

10. If you want someone to remember what you are telling them, start with “ I should not be telling you this.”
