Psychology is fun when you know the tricks.

There are psychological activities we could use to get what we want, Usually these are supposed to be normal activities but they could also be tricks due to we don't really pay attention to these activities and they really work so well. Here are some psychological tricks we could use on a daily basis.

1. never start your request using these words; could you it can cause the other person to subconsciously assume that this is a theoretical question for example avoid questions like could you you help me with the cup, because the answer could be yes I could do it theoretically but I'm not going to do it because I don't want to. So using the word code is very polite but it's better to rephrase your statement to please help me with the cup. This way your statement could be fulfilled.

2. If you want to make someone feel uncomfortable in the middle of a conversation you can just look at the middle of the forehead this makes them feel uncomfortable some people say is that this makes them feel on the scrutiny but actually it just doesn't make a person feel so relaxed.

3. Another psychological trick that you may like is that if you are in a new environment and you want someone's attention to be drawn to you, you could just ask the person to explain something to you and this may make the person have an overall attitude towards you. For example if you have a new job or you're in a new class you could just ask a person to explain something to you it could be anything even if its something you already knew, this can make the person have an overall attitude towards you.

4. If you want an affirmative answer when asking a question just subtly nod your head while asking, this is pretty effective.

5. When a person concentrate his or her whole mind on something. You can stretch your hand to get anything they are holding at that moment, at this moment the persons attention is not on you and this could make the person not to remember. This trick also works vise vasa, you can also give the person something at this very period and the person would also not remember. But one thing is don't forget that you make sure that the persons attention is caught up in what he or she is doing.

6. People will try to prove someone wrong when it comes to doubting that capability, and this is something you can use when you want someone to do something for you casually. All you need to do is just say how they probably will not even do it. This would make the person to feel challenged and would want to prove you wrong and through this, you may have a connection between you and the that's the person may not have the heart to turn you down anymore.

7. Just like in having an affirmative answer just like I mentioned earlier you need to nod your head subtly while asking, so as to draw a person's attention when you're talking, you can also nod softly as you talk, this draws the persons attention closely to what you're saying.

8. If you are at the market for example and you have a commodity to buy and it's quite off the price, and you would like to get Alyssa price the best thing for you is to prepare your mind to be a little bit disappointed. This helps a lot especially when u don't have enough money to aquire a thing.

9. As soon as your alarm clock goes off sit up make two fists and go like yeah as if you're a ready to do something really challenging, it sounds weird but this can help you easily get out of bed feeling refreshed, especially if u always get up late all the time.

10. If you are always worried whether or not you did something necessary for example if you locked the door or turned off the cooker, just say some weird phrase when you're doing these things. These phrases could be different every time but just say them. For example you may say read bush and switch off the cooker or oily cloud and lock the door the next time you start doubting whether or not you did something you'll remember saying this weird phrases and it will make you calm, knowing fully well if you did it or not.

11. If a person tries to include you in an argument to put up a drama or put up a fight with you and you are trying to avoid it. Say something really nice to them or just keep quiet and keep calm.

And also, another trick is that you could also try to put yourself in their shoes, this can help you understand if there's a point in the reason for their argument that you may be missing especially if the person is your partner or a really close relation.

12. 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.
