Soviet times are long gone, but why the past does not let us go. This is passed on from year to year, from generation to generation, and it seems that some habits cannot be eliminated at all. Stop, that's enough, it's time to change!
Here are the Soviet habits, which it is high time to get rid of, because they spoil your life!
Stock of products
Where did it come from? It's simple, before many products were in short supply, and if you don't buy them on Monday, Tuesday and the next week, or even a month, you won't get it. But why do people still continue to force the apartment with food for several months in advance?
I understand that if you sell good tasty potatoes, you can immediately grab a bag. Or, let's say, a month before the New Year holidays, there is a sale of red / black caviar - you can grab a couple of jars in reserve. But buying 5 packs of pasta, buckwheat, several packs of matches and toilet paper just like that is already too much. You can always go to the store and find what you need on the shelf. Please do not confuse it with last year (I don’t know how it is now), when the situation was complicated. If a person went into quarantine, he was forbidden to leave the house, in which case, food in stock is only for the benefit.
Hearty dinners
I remember how I was fed as a child - first, second, all with bread and then another tea or compote with a bun. So, by the way, they still feed in kindergartens. In Soviet times, they ate strictly according to the schedule, there were no snacks. Therefore, at lunchtime, people tried to eat their fill, because it was very far before dinner. Is it worth talking about the health and well-being of Soviet citizens? Now we can eat properly and balanced, without overloading the body with huge portions, and saturating it with useful substances.
Change clothes as you came home
It is clear that dirty clothes should be taken off at home and put on at home. Only in Soviet times, the home was one that was previously considered street, but simply lost its former appearance. It turns out that people went to the street, to work and somewhere else in the parade, and at home they dragged their worn, worn out, old clothes. But now you can buy yourself a couple of home sets of clothes, and not turn, sorry, into a scarecrow. If the clothes look bad, let them go on rags, and old things in general condition can be given to those in need.
Life-long renovation
Repairs in Soviet times could have lasted more than a year. And again, this was because there was not enough materials, and also there might not be enough time, money, etc. Now you can just save up money, go, buy everything you need, and make repairs!
Gratitude or bribe
In the USSR, it was customary to thank everyone. The doctor cured you - he needs to buy something, the lawyer helped - the same story, and the teachers were laid tables on the eve of exams. But think, is it right? Each of us receives a salary, doctors for their work, lawyers for theirs, teachers for theirs, so why else should we offer specialists gratitude in cash or a present? It may only seem to you that there is nothing wrong with this, in fact, by your actions, you generate corruption!
"Expert" advice
In the USSR, the life of every person was public, and everyone went in with their "expert" opinion and advice. Now is not the time, so you should not violate other people's personal boundaries. If a person needs your advice, he will ask you, and it is very ugly to impose your opinion.
"Freebie"
Another echo of scarcity. People constantly tried to take home from work everything that was “crooked”. Some products, some medicines, some office supplies, some bolts. Everyone loved and loves freebies. But why do modern people sin with this, because everything can now be bought?
Storing unnecessary items
Most of them still have balconies and garages full of all sorts of nonsense. Why throw out the old table, you can turn it into a new one? And why, throw out the slats, they will come in handy, then you will not need to buy. And a broken TV can be reanimated someday. It's time to get rid of old unnecessary junk, then your life will be transformed!
Barter relationship
If you did something good to me, then I have to repay something - another model of behavior from the past. People just got used to saving on everything, but now such behavior can play a cruel joke on you. People don't like to be used, so no barter!
Bright future
Of course, it's good to believe in a bright future and look forward optimistically. But in the USSR, people denied themselves everything, everyone put off something, not living in essence now, but preparing for this most wonderful future! It is better to be happy here and now, enjoying every moment of your life!
Modern people, keeping up with the times, do not understand the behavior of Soviet citizens. But all the same, they constantly stick to us: a bag with packages, a chocolate bar to a doctor and a desire to tell a friend how to live and how not. Get rid of it soon and your life will be happier!
Do you have such habits?
