Life is a bit boring, but also fun: an abnormal decompression book that heals countless anxious stars

During the National Day holiday, there are three things that I should say are very depressing and troublesome.

One is that today I got up early to cook with my wife and had a fight. Of course, I wrote it down and resolved it peacefully. I am delighted that it has the effect of concession and the effect of understanding Adejin's psychology.

The second thing, friends Xiao A and Xiao C respectively called me and told me mysteriously, one said that was anxious and was seeing a psychologist; the other said that he was depressed and was taking medicine to control it. The reason why they trust me is related to the fact that I just passed the professional skills test for psychological counseling.

The third thing is, when walking around the neighborhood, I found that there are 3 counseling rooms, and I can’t help but say that my mental problems are right by my side.

According to data from major media and authoritative departments, the prevalence of depression in my country in 2019 reached 2.1%, the prevalence of anxiety disorders was 4.98%, and the prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders Close to 7%.

It can be seen that out of 100 people, 5 people suffer from anxiety, and if depression is added, there are 7 people.

Although the data is scary, we still have to live healthy and optimistic. Human nature is fragile, but also very malleable. If you watch the blockbuster " Changjin Lake" during the National Day, the volunteers must be short of clothing and food, and without logistical support, relying on more gas, heroism, unity, and strategic tactics to defeat the United States in one fell swoop. Military education of the army.

From this point, we can proudly say that anxiety is not terrible. If it is like the book "Life is a bit annoying, but also fun" , then anxiety is not a problem! Next, let's talk about this strange book, the book of the healing department.

01 This is an imaginative and naughty book-it can take you to play!

If you are an anxious star,One of the reasons why you tend to fall into anxiety may be that you are not good at playing, especially when you are upset, even less. Follow this book, explore some interesting ideas, and do some fun games, which will definitely make you open-minded and relaxed.

Look at the title of the book "Life is a bit annoying, but it's also fun", are you cheerful from the bottom of your heart, or a knowing smile?

Yes. First author Jordan Reid, Ms. She used to study psychology and cognitive neuroscience at Harvard University . She was a professional psychology woman, but after various failed career transitions, she finally successfully transformed into a lifestyle blogger.

Her secret is that despite suffering from chronic anxiety for more than 10 years, Rhett never hides this, and insists on sharing her feelings and experiences about anxiety with readers in her blog. She thinks all about mental health issues The stigma is incorrect.

Therefore, she has published many best-selling books including "Life is a bit boring, but also fun".

Can we understand it like this:

First, although Reid is studying psychology and cognitive neuroscience at a prestigious school, he is also plagued by chronic anxiety. It can be seen that anxiety is common regardless of education, gender, and race.

Second, Reid bravely faced the fact that he had anxiety disorder, shared his feelings and experiences through his blog, and rectified all kinds of stigma imposed on anxiety disorders. Not only did he have courage, he also used Personal experience and professional knowledge sharing.

Third, face your own problems optimistically, because life itself is really annoying. According to Adjin's psychology, the biggest worries of people come from interpersonal relationships, but the same happiness also comes from interpersonal relationships. Therefore, Reid uses ridicule and brainstorming methods to allow people who are troubled by anxiety to face it correctly, and to inspire and happy ordinary people.

So, from this point, Reid has stood at the highest level of the six levels of human growth: creator, the meaning of life is for altruism and benefiting society and mankind. We have no reason not to believe in her and her works.

The above two paragraphs are the mantra of the author Reid.

For example, on the road, on the way to and from get off work, before going to bed, when gathering with friends...anytime, anywhere, you can start from any page!

In fact, it is to simplify the complicated life. The root of anxiety is to complicate simple problems. Once in your life, do you want to be simple or complex?

For example, the probability of an airplane crash is 0.18 per million flights, and airplanes are the safest way to travel. But for an anxiety sufferer, if he hears or sees the least-probable mode of travel, he is afraid of a plane crash and avoids flying. This is anxiety: thinking about things that are almost impossible and setting limits for yourself.

Normal people will not be due to a flying accident,Instead of flying. Therefore, from an optimistic point of view, flying is the most normal thing.

There are a few points listed in the book. Let us take a look at the wisdom of the author Reid:

  • The probability of death by airplane is one in 30 million. You are more likely to die from food poisoning or choking to death on the plane than on the plane itself.
  • When an airplane accident happened, 96% of people survived.
  • In fact, civil aviation is the safest form of transportation in the world.

03 Anxiety is that you can’t control your own brain. There is always a villain commanding you. In fact, you should try meditation!

The book says that in theory, meditation is particularly useful.

But in fact, it is just another thing that makes you feel guilty, that you should not do or did not do enough.

  • Close your eyes and focus on your breath.Take a deep breath into your abdomen, then exhale slowly through your mouth. Remember that you have a meeting tomorrow? Don't think about that. Inhale, exhale; inhale, exhale; inhale, exhale.
  • Go to download a software that costs 35 yuan a month. Commit to meditate for 10 minutes a day. Do four days of meditation with devotion. Buy a meditation master book.
  • hire a meditation coach and give him a lot of money to guide you to imagine what your sanctuary of joy is like-that is the beach in San Juan, Puerto Rico that you visited when you were a kid. Don't forget Puerto Rico has been destroyed by the hurricane. My goodness, I blame global climate change!

In short, this book "Life is a bit boring, but also fun" is full of pictures and texts. I just want to laugh when I look at it. I can also participate deeply. I can use my imagination and the amusing scenes that can be seen everywhere. .
