flames
If you were the first to see fire in the picture, this speaks of your stormy and explosive nature. Most likely, by temperament you are choleric and prone to sudden mood swings. You can rejoice in the little things and be delighted with simple and ordinary things. But at the same time, any minor trouble can upset you to the core and unbalance. Your internal sense of happiness is too dependent on external factors, and therefore it is usually very shaky and unstable.
Most likely you are missing self-confidence and in your own strength (although at first glance you give the impression of a very whole and determined person). To remedy the situation, try to listen to yourself more often and pay less attention to the comments of strangers. Allow yourself to be different from what others expect of you. The tactic of "a flower under a cap" is very useful. If you feel that you are hurt or offended, or events are out of your control, imagine that your inner harmony is a rose under the protection of a glass cap, which does not care about trouble.
Dancing people
If dancing people in a round dance caught your eye, this indicates your positive thinking. By temperament, you are a sanguine person (less often a phlegmatic person): your character is dominated by calmness, poise and self-confidence. You know that your happiness depends only on you, and therefore you try not to waste your valuable internal resources. Troubles are easy to accept, and treat them as life lessons that provide an opportunity to make yourself better.
You are one of those people who are called optimists, and this is true: your mood is stable, and the glass is always half full. This is what helps you be happy. Do not lose your positive attitude, and to achieve even greater inner harmony, practice the “thanksgiving” tactic more often. To do this, take bedtime habit name three events for which you are grateful for the passing day. This will teach you to shift your focus away from negative events.
Flower
If you saw a scarlet flower first in the picture, this indicates your subtle mental organization. You are a sensitive and emotionally fragile person who is directly "tuned" to perceive negativity. By temperament, you are most likely a melancholic (less often a choleric), therefore you are very acutely experiencing troubles. At the same time, you try to hide your worries from prying eyes - so usually often even close people do not realize that something hurt you.
You have a difficult relationship with happiness: often you are afraid to allow yourself to be happy. As soon as the first glimpses of happiness arise inside you, a whole heap of doubts immediately overwhelms you. You think that it will end quickly and quickly, that then you will become even more unhappy, or even at all - that you did not deserve it and are not worthy of experiencing this feeling. To fix the situation, you need to learn to see the good around you and, most importantly, give it a place in your life. The tactic “fortunately - unfortunately” helps well: take any event and try to alternately look for pluses and minuses in it.
