Biorhythms
Are there periods in your life when everything goes wrong? Are there other periods when you can move the mountains? How can you explain this?
Sometimes we feel good, sometimes — bad without a definite reason. Some people believe that there are cycles in our lives. These cycles are called biorhythms. They control our lives. There are three biorhythms cycles: the physical cycle which has 23 days, the emotional cycle which has 28 days and the intellectual cycle which has 33 days. Each cycle has a positive and negative phase.
When you are in a positive physical phase, you feel very healthy and fit, full of energy, and you can't get ill. When you are in a negative physical phase, you feel lazy, you get tired easily and you can become ill.
In the positive emotional phase, you feel happy and cheerful, friendly and optimistic. In the negative emotional phase, you feel moody, you get depressed easily and you can get angry or cry.
The intellectual phase is very important for school. In the positive phase, you are able to learn things easily and you can think clearly. This is a good time for exams and tests. The negative intellectual phase is the worst time for exams. In this phase, you are not able to concentrate easily.
The most dangerous days are when the cycle moves from one phase to the other. They are known as critical days. Some research in Switzerland showed that 60% of all accidents happen on critical days. Some airlines use biorhythms charts. Pilots are not allowed to fly on critical days.
