0 1 boring productivity: an important source of human imagination

Boredom has always been an emotion that human beings try their best to avoid! A boring person will feel dissatisfied and uneasy. The present situation or current activities are meaningless, and time passes slowly. He wishes he were somewhere else.

Therefore, people who often say that "life is not just the present, but also poetry and distance" are usually people who are tired of life now!

Of course, apart from being short, tight and wet, it's always interesting.

David reinhard of the Department of Psychology at the University of Virginia (David? Reinhard) once designed such a psychological experiment: Before the experiment began, participants would experience a certain intensity of electric shock. The intensity of the electric shock made participants say that they would rather pay than be electrocuted. On this premise, the participants were locked in a small room again.

This time, in addition to thinking, they have at least one choice-electrocute themselves. Just thinking time, 27 of the 45 participants will voluntarily choose to hang themselves.

People would rather receive electric shock than endure boredom!

But is boredom really that terrible? Not really. In fact, the reason why our human civilization can continue endlessly is thanks to the "boring" mood!

Sandy Mann, a senior lecturer in psychology in university of central lancashire, England, told us the benefits of boredom. "If we don't look for external stimuli, we will see our hearts-look for another way in our minds", so "boredom will stimulate the leap of imagination, and in order to get rid of it, we begin to try to think in another way".

Indeed, because boredom often puts us in a wandering state of mind, we often start thinking when we are bored, so the human brain often has more powerful divergent thinking when we are bored. Many outstanding inventions and arts in history were born under the drive of boredom!

It turns out that boredom is also productive! Without boredom, human beings may not reach the present level of scientific and technological development at all. So, maybe we should thank boring, breathe a sigh of relief and say:

In fact, there are always many meaningful things in life waiting for us to do. At the end of the year, what we should do most is to give our messy house a thorough cleaning, that is:

Clean it up

At this moment, are you deeply thinking that those of us who are committed to psychological services should start to switch to domestic service!

Wait, don't catch us in a hurry!

Because, today, we are going to introduce you to a very interesting and boring psychological concept!

"the power of sweeping everything"

Sweep away negative energy+create positive magnetic field = brand-new self

Guang Lai Hiroshi, a Japanese spiritual growth tutor, is a representative of the Institute of Sweeping Power. He advocates sweeping the floor to improve personal magnetic field and mind, thus bringing good luck to himself. As an environmental consultant for small and medium-sized enterprises in Japan, he also brought sweeping power into enterprise management and was highly praised by many operators.

Mr. Yasuo Fukuda encourages us to "clean up" the working environment, recognize the nature of our work, and know our situation, advantages and disadvantages, so as to ignite our bodies and release our abilities!

Indeed, the so-called "cleaning" here advocates not only the thorough cleaning of rooms and corners, but also the process of self-examination, self-motivation and rehabilitation through this cleaning.

Perhaps, in this overcrowded era of information surplus, we need to clean not only our own rooms, but also our own hearts, in other words:

Your room is actually yourself.

Do you really know why you have to clean it up? The sentence "How can you sweep the world without sweeping the house" is by no means a slogan without connotation, it is pregnant with very rich psychological wisdom!

In fact, the environment and people's mental outlook are inextricably linked. Cleaning power not only changes the living environment around us, but more importantly, it creates a magnetic field space with positive chain effect through the energy generated by cleaning. In the era of material scarcity, the main way for people to get happiness is to add things, such as adding refrigerators, buying televisions, equipped with washing machines and buying cars ... Now, the way to get happiness is to subtract things and get rid of the shackles of things.

Less is more.

Cleaning, in fact, is to unload your mind.

04 dry time: "in fact, you don't know how to clean!" "

Next is dry goods time! I'll teach you how to clean up your personal image, personal information, personal body and mind, and let you unload your baggage and get a new life!

On behalf of the Cleaning Power Research Association, Dr. Fukuda introduced us to the specific methods of cleaning rooms, as follows:

The first step is to open the window for air, let the indoor air circulate and see the original appearance of the goods;

The second step is to discard unnecessary items, which greatly improves the quality of life;

The third step is decontamination, which gains power from the ease of completing local decontamination, and then can complete a slightly more complicated cleaning work;

The fourth step is sorting out. Clear and orderly work and life will also be manifested in clearly knowing the location of each item after cleaning.

Step 5: Sprinkle salt. Salt is an object with sacred energy in Japan and is regarded as a symbol of driving away disasters and cleaning unclean objects.

In addition, Putian Yang Guang also told us that toilets, kitchens and porches should be the top priority of cleaning!

This is because the toilet is dirty, people will become arrogant and lose their gratitude. The relationship with people is alienated, and good luck and wealth will leave; As a "love factory", the kitchen is an important place to determine the happiness and harmony of the family. Whether there is love at home can be seen from the kitchen. Don't smoke too much in the kitchen, and don't put anything useless on the countertop. The porch is the first scene we see when we open the door every day, which is equivalent to the smiling face at home. We should not only clean up, but also have bright lights to make the porch welcome you home like a family member.

?

? Your personal image, information, body and mind also need cleaning:

In terms of personal image, carry-on bags should be emptied in time, things that are not commonly used should be avoided being stored all the time, and clothes should be cleaned in time when they are dirty;

In terms of personal information, it is necessary to clean up and delete emails, apps, WeChat official accounts in time, and put limited energy on the information that you will really read to make your thinking clear.

Personally, mentally and physically, I wonder every night if I said something negative to others today. Small troubles should be solved in time and don't stay overnight. Language is related to personal expression and emotions. Clean up your heart before going to bed every night and treat others with a good mood, and your luck will get better.

Write at the end: it is better to sweep a room than to look forward to a snow.

In this impetuous society that always advocates getting, we are always greedy for something. Even a snow in Beijing is so desirable that it will make people feel bad if it doesn't snow.

However, have we ever thought that for us who are extremely rich in material life, what we need may no longer be tireless pursuit, but abandoning things we don't really need, including things around us, workflow, communication and so on. In order to quickly find what you should cherish, let yourself completely realize "not being tired of foreign things."

In this process, your time will become more abundant, your energy will be more abundant, your heart will be more peaceful, your body will be healthier, and finally you will really feel the long-lost happiness.

? Looking forward to a snow, it is better to sweep a room.

? May everyone,

? In a crowded world,

? Live a simple life.

? good night
