The confusion and anxiety in the trough period always make us lose energy and lose hope for the future.
If you want to quickly adjust your mentality, I suggest you read the following books to save yourself from the trough!
"The Biography of Su Dongpo" Lin Yutang recommends the reason: live in the present, be optimistic and open-minded.
The biography of Su Dongpo is highly recommended to everyone who is confused, hesitant and at a loss at the moment.
"The Biography of Su Dongpo" tells the story of a generation of literary giant Su Dongpo who had a bumpy career and experienced many hardships in his life.
From growing up in Meishan as a young boy, to becoming famous in the capital, being re-employed, and then being demoted to remote places many times.
But he never gave up his pursuit of life, nor complained about the unfairness of his fate. Instead, he used his open-minded attitude towards life to meet many like-minded friends and won high praise from people at that time and later generations.
After reading this book, I felt as if I was actually there. I was proud of Su Dongpo's fame at a young age, felt unjust that he was demoted to prison, felt relieved because he saw the reality of the world clearly, and felt moved by his joyful and self-satisfied mentality.
Impressed.
Su Dongpo is my favorite poet. Whenever I fall into a trough and feel confused, I will look at Su Dongpo's experience.
If you feel that there is a threshold for reading books, I recommend watching the documentary "Su Dongpo".
After reading the ups and downs of Su Dongpo's life, you will find that your confusion is nothing. I believe that Su Dongpo's open-minded and free philosophy of life can also illuminate you in the trough.
The Power of Anxiety by Tracey Dennis Tiwary Whoever learns to be anxious in the right way learns how to survive.
"Recommended reasons teach us to use the correct method to understand anxiety, understand the nature of anxiety, and get along with anxiety more comfortably. For a long time, I have always believed that anxiety is a negative emotion that will have a negative impact on me. However, "
"The Power of Anxiety" tells me that moderate anxiety is actually good for physical and mental health. It can stimulate our motivation to face challenges, pursue growth and change. This perspective gave me a new perspective and made me start to re-evaluate my anxiety.
, and try to turn it into a positive motivation. Anxiety is a kind of force, which is our body's instinct to protect itself. It is not the anxiety itself that makes us fall into internal friction, but the wrong attitude towards anxiety.
Here are three principles for dealing with anxiety: Anxiety is information about the future. Listen to useless anxiety and temporarily put it aside useful anxiety. Use it to achieve some goals. These three principles may seem simple, but if you want to master them, you need to
I continue to practice and understand these three principles. My practice process is as follows: I am about to graduate and feel anxious about the future (I need to think about the specific things that make me anxious, because this is what my future self is calling me and making me anxious).
More progress) Filter out the useless parts of anxiety: Are you worried that you will not be able to graduate successfully? Are you worried that the process of postgraduate entrance examination/educational examination is too difficult? There is no need to be anxious about difficulties that you have not experienced. Worry about non-existent failures and try to turn your anxiety into concreteness.
After setting the goal, find your weak points, attack them in a targeted manner, and let anxiety drive us forward. It is never laziness and lack of progress that hinders a person, but a backlog in the heart.
