Mel Robbins:我们可能会因为习惯了日常的例行公事而感到生活无聊,缺乏乐趣。我们需要刻意打破常规,让生活充满新鲜感,而不是彻底改变。 通过一个小小的改变,例如在后院露营,就能让生活重燃激情,感觉像是在重新约会一样。我们需要有意识地打破常规,让生活变得更有趣。 研究表明,习惯化会影响我们对生活的方方面面,导致我们对原本喜爱的事物失去兴趣。我们需要找到方法来应对习惯化,让生活再次充满活力。 Tali Sharot:习惯化是大脑的基本运作规律,我们会对持续的或逐渐变化的事物反应越来越少。这会影响我们对生活中美好事物的感受,导致快乐感下降。 研究表明,度假期间人们最快乐的时刻是体验“第一次”的时刻,例如第一次看到大海。快乐感在度假43小时后开始下降。对美好事物的期待本身就能带来快乐。 习惯化也会影响亲密关系,导致对伴侣的吸引力下降。短暂的分别或在新的环境中体验伴侣,可以帮助我们摆脱习惯化,重新感受彼此的吸引力。 为了摆脱习惯化,可以尝试短暂的休息或想象没有这些事物的生活。改变环境可以提升创造力,即使只是短暂的改变。 中年危机可能源于生活变化减少,导致习惯化。尝试新鲜事物可以带来快乐,并可能养成尝试新鲜事物的习惯。 鼓励人们进行生活实验,尝试新的事物或改变生活方式,以找到最适合自己的生活方式。
