Have you ever heard how psychology can help reduce anxiety and stress? These short and easy psychology hacks can make your day stress free, if done properly. Psychology offers powerful insights into how we think, feel, and act, allowing us to hack our brains for greater productivity, confidence, and happiness. Whether it’s feeling less anxious, rewiring your habits, or managing emotions more effectively, these quick and easy tricks will transform the way you approach life.
Dopamine anchoring: Dopamine anchoring is when you pair something you enjoy doing with a task you hate. This helps associate the task with pleasure, making it easier to accomplish.
Expectation effect hack: Telling yourself that “this will be fun” before a social event can make your brain actively filter for things that make it true. Due to selective attention bias, you start seeing what you believe.
The peak end rule: Ending your days on a good note, like a gratitude list or your favorite song, your brain will remember the day better than it actually was.
The 90 second rule: When you’re angry or upset, have 90 seconds to feel and then let the feeling pass. Most emotions only last 90 seconds unless you keep fueling them with your thoughts.
