There are many superstitions and signs that bring additional prohibitions and restrictions into a person's life. Most superstitions prohibit something and portend unpleasant incidents. For example, it is believed that a student should not wash his hair before an exam.
Shampooing before the exam
It is worth noting that people tend to complicate their lives with thoughts, attitudes, stereotypes and other people's opinions. Oftentimes, unfounded beliefs prevent a person from doing something in a particular situation, such as washing their hair on the eve of an exam. It is known that the successful passing of the exam depends on a number of factors: the level of preparation for the test, the degree of the learned material, the student's learning process as a whole. Of course, personal qualities are also of great importance. Perseverance, good memory, concentration, attention, thinking help to prepare for the exam.
It is worth noting that impressionable and suggestible people tend to believe various predictions, omens and superstitions, due to the fact that their psyche is susceptible to extraneous influences: opinions, advice and warnings. Therefore, the decision about whether to wash your hair before the exam or not should be based on the person's susceptibility and suggestibility.
So, do not break the omen if the student's anxious thoughts that washing their hair will affect the result of surrender will distract attention and increase his anxiety. On the contrary, if a stale appearance, including unwashed hair, affects confidence, it is recommended to wash your hair. It is important to understand that superstitious beliefs and omens are not supported by scientific explanations.
The veracity of superstition and will accept
As a rule, beliefs and superstitions are based on illogical and often mystical ideas of people about the surrounding objects. Superstitious beliefs of people in the mysterious relationship of actions and phenomena came from ancient times. It is known that at that time the level of science and discoveries was significantly different from the knowledge that a person has now.
Psychologists explain situations in which superstition came true by the fact that a person programs his mind to attract certain events. He is tuned in to them, ready for them, and therefore unconsciously can become a participant in the expected event.
So, people have different attitudes towards the sign that a black cat that crosses the road will bring bad luck. In this case, some people are ready to cross to the other side of the street or bypass the "unfortunate place" side, while others calmly move on, not experiencing doubts and internal contradictions. A person who is convinced that trouble is about to happen, and a black cat is a harbinger of trouble, attracts failure with his thoughts, attitude and mood.
Orthodox Christianity opposes signs and superstitions, equating a person's faith in them with false teaching. It is believed that false beliefs get in the way of truth, spiritual knowledge and human growth. For example, a dubious belief has survived that a brownie lives under a broom in every family. The worship of family members to the spirit of the brownie in order to appease him, in this case, will be considered blasphemy and a violation of the commandments of God.
