"Please, let's start school!" This is the voice of thousands of parents who accompany their children to online classes.
A mother complained: "If you ask how bitter the world is, you will know how blocked the online class is; I would rather be empty at the same time as the virus than empty at the same time as the children in the online class." ”
Whenever the mother sees the book, the book, the eraser, it is the unlucky child who does not give you a study, and a nameless fire will come up.
During the online class, the mother's requirements for the child are falling again and again, before it was hoped that the child can become a talent, and then as long as the child grows up healthy, now it becomes as long as you don't make yourself angry.
Now many smart mothers have looked away, and it is useless to be angry, after all, the body is their own, otherwise the child will finally go to school, but he will go to the hospital.
There are many ways to regulate emotions and enhance happiness, And Charles Spence, a professor of experimental psychology at Oxford University, tells us a lot of simple and easy-to-operate methods from the perspective of "senses" in the book "This Feels Awesome".
Charles Spence is a world-class expert in multi-sensory perception and experience design, having advised unilever, PepsiCo, Johnson & Johnson, Nestlé and other prestigious companies on strategic advice on multi-sensory design.
"Color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, law", people's senses can not only be used for product marketing, but also by changing the surrounding environment, regulating emotions, and enhancing happiness.
1. Adjust the smell at home
The French poet Baudelaire once said, "Smell is the soul of a house." ”
Each house has its own taste, it's just that we've been used to it for a long time.
This smell contains the smell of objects such as buildings and furniture, as well as the smell of people, and may also contain some airborne mold and other unknown substances.
Ambient odors can affect our physical and mental health, and different smells can make us feel alert or relaxed. Have you ever found that shopping malls or some relaxing places will have a pleasant aromatherapy smell?
In the small supermarket near my house, the hostess often places various flowers at the cash register, the flowers are not large, but have a faint fragrance.
Let the home be filled with the smell you like, usually you can be more relaxed, if you feel nervous or angry, take a deep breath, let the comfortable taste fill the whole body, and the sense of happiness will increase immediately.
2. Simulate the environment of nature
Both adults and children love to be exposed to nature, and it is best to be able to relax outdoors with their children every day.
If real-world conditions don't allow us to go out, we can simulate the natural environment and let the brain receive similar signals.
When you are tired from studying, working, or in a bad mood, look out the window and look at the trees and flowers in nature, green is more helpful to calm your emotions.
You can also raise some green plants, or use pictures instead.
Decorative paintings on the wall, cushions on the floor, screensavers on the computer, mouse pads on the table, etc., these planes can be replaced by green nature-themed pictures.
This method is also particularly suitable for office workers, because there are not many desks by the window, but it is easy to change the computer screensaver and raise two small green plants with slight aroma on the desk.
3. Play the ambient sound
Auditorily we seem to be a little farther away from nature than visually.
We live indoors for too long, contrary to the long evolution of our ancestors. Even outside, the noise of city life drowns out a lot of birds and insects.
Experiments have shown that the richer the perceived biodiversity (such as bird calls), the more resilient people are, the book says.
We can search for natural environment sounds on some apps, forest birdsong, bamboo forest wind sounds, rain sounds, etc., when we need to focus on doing one thing, as a background sound, can help us concentrate and relax our minds.
There are already some airports, clubs, aroma baths, etc., which set the background music as the sound of nature, and we may as well try it at home.
4. Get a good night's sleep
Last week, a mother told me that because the child is too energetic and does not sleep at night, she stays up late, and the child can take a nap during the day, but she does not have time to take a lunch break, and the lack of sleep causes her body to become worse and worse, and her mood is getting more and more irritable.
In this case, the mother needs to take the child with her and adjust the work and rest, otherwise excessive pressure and bad mood will lead to insomnia, and it will be easier to be irritable the next day after insomnia, which is simply a vicious circle.
The two methods of playing the natural ambient sound and changing the ambient odor mentioned earlier also have a sleep-aiding effect.
In addition, raising the body temperature before going to bed also helps to fall asleep, if you have the condition, take a comfortable hot bath, shower for a while, let the body warm up, or soak your feet.
Combine these methods, starting from the time of bathing or soaking feet, use a fragrance, or a scented bath liquid, let the body lie hot on the bed, and then play the natural background sound, take a few deep breaths, and gradually fall asleep.
Get a good night's sleep and recharge your body to meet the challenges of the next day.
The above four methods are to improve happiness through sensory adjustments such as smell, vision, hearing, and touch.
The book "This Feels Awesome" starts from how the senses affect our cognition and emotions, brings us to re-understand the power of the senses, we can not only improve the quality of life and happiness, but also make work easier and more efficient, assist in disease treatment and so on.
There are some cold knowledge in the book that also subverts our previous cognition, such as insomnia time sheep, but will make sleep time delayed; as soon as you go to work, you feel uncomfortable, "going to work like a grave", may be because of "sensory imbalance"...
Open this book and you will find that just a small change in feeling can change the state of life, which is really wonderful!
