I am used to listening to audios while doing yoga and mopping the floor. One day I went from listening to "The Action" to "People's Daily Night Reading" to "Jiang Xun Talks about the Dream of Red Mansions". Coincidentally, they were there that day. The content is full of curiosity.
When I heard about this word, I was also very curious. When did my curiosity start to weaken? When did I start to lose the freshness of many things around me?
Suddenly I remembered the children at my sister’s house. They always like to ask questions and are always full of curiosity about the world. Many things are new to them, and they are always particularly excited by these novel things.
Children are always so happy because they have a lot of new ideas about the world. Because they have seen few things, they can always find new things around them, while we adults have seen too many things and have no sense of freshness about the things around us, so our sense of happiness is relatively weak.
If we have strong curiosity, we will continue to discover new continents, go to places we have never been to, and do things we have never done but want to do. In this way, our lives will be more interesting. It will not remain unchanged, so it will be full of expectations. If days are repeated every day, we will feel that our life is very boring and we will look listless every day.
And how to improve curiosity? It means going out, constantly being exposed to new things, and doing things you have never done before, so that fresh blood can be injected into our lives.
Although the process of reading can spiritually feel the rich and colorful world, when we go out, feel it in the real world, and breathe the fresh air after the rain, the freshness we get is not The feeling that reading can bring.
In the process of reading, you will indeed discover many interesting things, but reading cannot feel the fragrance of earth mixed with the fresh air after the rain, and you cannot see the green of nature with the naked eye. It's so green that people have the urge to eat grass and trees, but if it were a book, we would definitely not think about eating paper.
A few days ago, I saw that my sister had taken many photos of the lotus pond in June in our village. There was also a green rice field, blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green water in front of me, and I was standing there. As far as you can see from the balcony, there are reinforced concrete buildings. Although I have lived in the village for more than ten years, the scenery is still the same, but soon I see a scenery that is different from what I see every day. That kind of fun is what I think is fresh!
I like an interesting life, and an interesting life requires freshness, and reading and traveling are the easiest ways to get freshness. Traveling doesn’t have to go far away. You can go to places you’ve never been before, or you can go to places you’ve already been to, but that place isn’t where you work every day or where you live at home.
I used to like to read alone with music in my rented house on weekends, but recently I changed this way of reading. On weekends, I go to a coffee shop to order a cup of coffee and then read a book. The external noise has nothing to do with me. I often hear my favorite English songs being played in the shop while I’m reading. It’s so touching. It’s another freshness of life!
Recently, I always go to the same cafe to read. Sometimes I know that the seat is uncomfortable, but I am just used to that seat, and then I don’t want to change seats. Last week, after listening to the audio about curiosity, I changed my position and found that position to be very comfortable. Just changing the position gave me a different feeling. In fact, to have a fresh feeling is to stand up, walk a few steps and then change seats.
I was unhappy before because I lacked the motivation to find freshness. In the past, I always wanted to live a different life and live a decent life, but I didn't change it, and I was always unable to cope with my unchanged life.
To make your life fresh, you think that the world has endless scenery and you have an immortal state of mind. Give yourself more good feelings while you are young, and add more fresh things to your memory.
Of course, it injects freshness into life, and you also have to meet your friends. Sometimes, although reading can calm you down and hear your true inner voice, sometimes you have been struggling with something for a long time. But there are always some external obstacles.
If you go to meet your friends and exchange thoughts and feelings with each other, you will inadvertently find the answers you want. It turns out that things you have been struggling with for a long time will suddenly feel like your muscles have been opened up. , you have the choice you want in your mind.
In the past, I had always wanted to find an opportunity to go to an English training institution to learn English, but I was afraid of spending too much money. But one day, I agreed to have dinner with my classmates. I usually make dinner appointments with my classmates and friends. I usually don’t want to go, first because I’m afraid of spending money, and secondly, I feel tired. But that day after I had dinner with my classmates, I saw an English training institution in the mall, and I signed up and paid on the spot.
Now, I have been studying in the institution for 4 months. I am happy every weekend. I no longer only have my own memories in my life, but I also have the life stories of new classmates. memory.
This means that my life also has a fresh feeling!
There is a mother of a 7-year-old daughter in our training class. She accompanies her daughter to learn English every weekend. She learns English by herself, and so does her daughter. Every week before class, the teacher would ask us to talk about how we felt last week in English. She would always share details about herself and her daughter, and my memory would have a story about the happy life of a mother and her daughter.
Another one is Chinese and very beautiful. After finishing her English class, she goes to the gym to exercise, so she has a very good figure. She is also quite smart in class, loves to laugh, and can always share a lot of interesting things. I always wanted to apply for a fitness card before, but never took action. Now because of her actions, I was inspired to apply for a fitness card yesterday.
I have been worried that it will take 40 minutes to go to the gym and back to get a fitness card, which will leave me less time to read. But the gym staff said that you can bring books in and sit on the sofa to read. When you are tired from reading, you can go exercise. There are sofas to sit on, free drinks, and a group of people who are working hard to become healthier themselves. Such an environment is not suitable. Is this what I want?
Yesterday I applied for a one-year fitness card, and I just found out that it was paid in installments, which saved me from having to spend a lot of money all at once. This kind of life is full of passion. Isn't this the freshness I want to pursue? It used to be that besides home I could also read in cafes. Now besides cafes I can also go to the gym to read.
Before, I didn’t study English or go to a cafe to read. My daily life was to live between the two points and the first line, which is only one kilometer, between the company and my residence. This happens over and over again every day, although reading has made me fall in love with the current time. But to make your current time happier is to have the ability to pursue freshness!
From learning English to reading in cafes to applying for fitness cards, these things I have never done have brought a lot of freshness to my life, and have also made me change from a person who doesn’t have many friends. People have made more friends. I can actually have a good conversation with friends I don’t know very well. I can actually speak a lot of English even though I am not fluent in English in English class. Grammatical errors are not a problem anymore. The most important thing is my Life is no longer lifeless.
Hey, if your current life makes you unhappy, it’s because you lack the motivation to pursue freshness.
Take action and find your own freshness. I hope you will continue to encounter your own happiness in the process of searching. I wish you good luck!
