Why do you still feel tired after 11 hours of sleep? Why do you spend tens of thousands of dollars to go to the island vacation does not increase the enthusiasm of life? They say to go to KTV, nightclubs, and amusement parks to forget the unhappiness and start a new day with more energy, but when you return from the fun, there is only emptiness in your heart? Do we really understand the meaning of rest? Are we resting right? What do you understand by rest? A full night’s sleep? A bout of crazy fun? A burp after a meal at a karaoke bar? What is the real meaning of rest? It’s about recovering from fatigue, relaxing your nerves, and feeling like a new, energetic person when you get back to work and school. If your break doesn’t do that for you, then it’s a mistake, no matter how relaxing the name of the activity sounds or how high it looks. Ditch them and have a break revolution! First, let’s see what misconceptions we have about rest: 1. Brainiacs, catching up on sleep is of little use to you. You have written a day of copywriting, chaired a day of meetings, and when it’s all over, you sigh to: too tired, this day I want to sleep well. Our common sense makes our first reaction to fatigue is to “go lie down. But this is a trap. Sleep is indeed an effective form of rest, but it applies mainly to sleep-deprived or manual workers. For manual workers, “fatigue” is mainly caused by the production of large amounts of acid in the body, so if you are very tired, you should take a quiet rest. By sleeping, the lost energy can be replenished and the accumulated wastes can be eliminated. If you are not very tired, you can also lie down in bed first, close your eyes and rest, so that the whole body muscles and nerves completely relaxed, and then get up and move around. But if you are sitting in the office, the cerebral cortex is extremely excited, while the body is in a state of low excitement, treat this fatigue, sleep can play a small role, (unless you are working late, even the normal sleep time can not reach) because you need not through the “rest” to restore physical fitness, but to find something to relax the nerves down. So you can understand why you do not go out for two days on the weekend is still lethargic, and only after work to swim for half an hour to look good. 2, do not have to stop, just change. Since sleep does not help us rest our brains, what can be done? The answer is not to stop the activity, but only to change the activity. More than 10 billion nerve cells in the cerebral cortex, all different functions, they are arranged and combined in different ways to form different joint functional areas, this area of activity, another area to rest. So, by changing the content of the activity, you can make different areas of the brain to get rest. Psychophysiologist Shechenov did an experiment, in order to eliminate the fatigue of the right hand, he took two ways – one is to let both hands rest at rest, and the other is to let the left hand move properly while the right hand is at rest, and then test the grip strength of the right hand on a fatigue measuring device. The results showed that the fatigue of the right hand was eliminated more quickly with the left hand active. This proves that changing the content of one’s activities is indeed a positive way to rest. For example, if you write a five-hour project on Friday, it is better to cut your potted plants the next day instead of sleeping until the sun is up. Another point is that when you can’t choose to switch from mental to physical work, you might as well switch within mental work. Rousseau, the outstanding French Enlightenment thinker, told his insights: “I was not born a man fit to study, because I felt tired after working a little longer, and I couldn’t even concentrate on a problem for half an hour in a row. However, I studied several different problems in succession, even without interruption, and I was able to pursue them one by one with ease and pleasure, and this one problem could eliminate the fatigue caused by the other, without resting my brain. So, I made full use of this feature I had discovered in my study, and alternated the study of some problems. In this way, I do not feel tired even if I use my work all day.” So, if you have several problems to deal with, it is best to alternate, rather than deal with one and then start the second, which will be quickly exhausted. 3, the best rest is for you to rekindle your passion for life. Our tiredness mainly comes from the existing boredom of the same old life. So the best rest programs are those activities that allow us to rediscover our passion for life and work. If you can finish something and happily exclaim, “Tomorrow is a new day.” Then this is the best way for you to restore enthusiasm and regulate your emotions. But unfortunately, we lack the imagination to “rest”. The rest we can think of is either sleeping or playing silly. We have given you the following list of activities, the basic idea is to “do” to solve the “tired”, with positive rest instead of negative indulgence. Of course, the most suitable method for you to explore yourself. In fact if you think cleaning is a better way to relax than riding a roller coaster, then go for it, never mind what the rest of the world is playing. Maybe you can: 1, read two hours of comics or novels that make you happy instead of going to KTV and singing the same old catchy songs. 2, try to give up going to the bar on Saturday night, go to bed at 10 o’clock, and then get up at 7 o’clock, go for a walk on the street without people, or see the morning theater you never had the opportunity to see, you will find that this day can be different from the past thousand weekends are different. 3, stop going to the resort you’ve been to countless times to find fun. Find a street you’ve never been to and walk it through. You will find that the city you feel bored with, you really did not fully appreciate the beauty of it as a result. 4, travel, rather than a new place to spend time. Go to a place to be curious about the place itself, to be beautiful about their trip, to feel their own experience outside the scope of life. Not a 5-hour plane ride, just a different place to play mahjong, a different place to swim, a different place to play ball …… 5, from this weekend to learn a new skill, such as playing the electronic piano, playing the drums …… every weekend to practice more than 1 hour. 6.Go social. Don’t think it’s always exhausting. Although it is slightly nerve-wracking compared to reading a book, it can also make you more excited and more identified. You must have two or three days a week is and work circle and relatives outside the deal. It keeps you from losing your lively nature in the mechanical running of the 9 to 5. Women especially need to go out and meet with friends, these moments you are no longer full of “efficiency” written on the face of the neutral, but a skirt flying glamorous focus. 7, do something difficult, if you are super nervous people. Psychologists have found that the way to release nervousness is to deal with the problem that requires nervousness to solve. Once a general manager who was about to have a nervous breakdown found a physician to give treatment advice, and he ended up getting a prescription to go to the zoo as a lion tamer. He made a full recovery a month later. So you can find yourself another job when you are particularly stressed, but not one that is similar to your profession. For example, volunteer at an orphanage, or start an apprenticeship at a complex mechanical plant, or do a super complex math problem. Often people who value life will go for a break at any cost. Take a break for ten days, half a month, and they come back. And look again, what an amazing change! They are simply a newborn person now. Vibrant, full of energy, with new hopes, new plans, new visions of life, they have eliminated fatigue, gaining the power to sail from the new – fuel. Taking some time to rest can give you a lot of energy and strength, so that you can get the strength to do any work and cope with any problems, so that you can have a pleasant and correct understanding of life. When you hear someone say that he is too busy to rest, you think that this person is a bit abnormal. Either he is not competent enough to cope with his business, his work lacks systematization; or he is not good at dominating his staff so that his business cannot run when he leaves; or he is too stingy by nature and has no subordinates or team. Of course, if he works without a plan, without a system, I left the post, all matters will not be able to run, then he naturally can not rest. But if he is a person with the ability to organize and coordinate, if his work has a system, a plan, a moderate rest, which is a favorable investment in business, because rest back, his energy will be more focused, more full of spirit. As a result, his life will last longer. The value of life can be more fully reflected and played. Each person should abandon the idea of working without regard to rest. The concept of “life is more than a struggle” is wrong and should be eliminated from your mind immediately. Otherwise, you have not finished the journey of life you should take and you will be sleeping in the ground. By then your ideal, future, career will not be a bubble? Therefore, a person who can’t spare time to rest is definitely not a smart person. From the standpoint of human nature, the matter of rest, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. As the old saying goes, “When you are sick, anyone is a bad person.” Even the kindest person at heart can become unreasonable and grumpy when his body is exhausted and his spirit is weak. Therefore, when it is time to rest, you should rest. Otherwise, you are behaving as Lenin pointed out, “If you will not rest, you will not work.”
