三和一善 3 大流行習慣將在2022 年減少

 

3 Pandemic habits will decrease in 2022

It is not too late to make some New Year's resolutions.

As many of us continue to work from home, we naturally form new habits and ways of thinking to adapt to new ways of working. Although some of these actions may be helpful in the moment, they may not serve you well when we consider life after a pandemic.

 

"Research found that about 40% of daily life is shaped by habits," author of "Four Trends: An Indispensable Personality Profile that Reveals How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People's Lives Better)" Talk to creator Gretchen Colin about the Happier app, which helps users track and stick to habits by using personalized motivational technology. "If you have habits that suit you, you are more likely to become happier, healthier, more efficient, and more creative. If you have habits that don’t suit you, it’s even harder. Habits are part of daily life Intangible buildings. They shape our entire existence, and they are very important."

 

As we look ahead to what will happen in 2022, please consider whether you stick to these three habits.

 

Spend mental energy on things you can't control

With the introduction of the vaccine, a light at the end of the tunnel seemed to be getting closer. Then there is the delta variant, and now it is omicron. Ethan Ross (Ethan Ross) said that one habit you may need to break is to recognize that you can’t control what happens to a pandemic, the author of Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and how to navigate it.

 

"Even in the current climate, there are many things we can do to be safer and live a productive and satisfying life, but there are some things that we cannot control," he said. "Once we recognize this, we can minimize the chatter surrounding the pandemic and move on."

 

Cross defines chatter as our negative inner voice, which makes us feel sleepy and helpless. "The chattering is a dark manifestation of our inner voice, and it is a huge problem," he said. "This makes it difficult for us to complete our work and hinders our relationships and health. Uncertainty and lack of control fuel the experience of chattering. During the pandemic, the rate of anxiety and depression soared by more than 30%. Obviously, chattering is now happening. Era."

Fortunately, you can use some techniques to control chatter, such as time distancing or mental time travel.

 

 

"Instead of focusing on this moment, think about how you will feel at some point in the future?" Cross asked. "For example, my child is receiving the second dose of vaccine. Two weeks later, I will feel much better about the current situation than now because they will be fully protected. You can imagine traveling to the far future. Two years later. How will you feel when more people get vaccinated and we have more treatments?"

 

Ross added that looking backwards also helps. "Think about the last pandemic," he suggested. "The situation was much worse at the time. No Zoom, no takeaway, no mRNA vaccine. You can go back to a longer time, back to the era of bubonic plague that destroyed society for a longer period of time. Broadening your horizons will be very helpful. ."

 

Measure success with old standards

Choose your story, change your life: Silence your inner critics and rewrite your life from the inside out, Jindra Hall, author of the book said that another mentality you may adopt during a pandemic is to accept the possibility Restrictive beliefs that hinder your progress.

 

"A statement like this, ‘oh, I just can’t do this, or ‘what’s the point?’" she said. "It is the stories that linger in the background that prevent us from taking action."

 

Limiting beliefs may be due to past success metrics. "I have been struggling with my own concept of success, and I told myself, ‘I can’t achieve it. I can’t succeed,’” Hall said. "When I started to cleverly capture this belief in the background, I analyzed it and realized that in 2019, I measured my success in terms of flight miles, hotel nights, and time zone fatigue. Suddenly that Disappeared, my inner voice said that I could not succeed because it had already completed the mathematical calculations and I did not fly everywhere."

 

Instead, Hall recommends redefining what success looks like. For her, a better way is to give a virtual keynote speech in her bedroom, and then go out and build Lego blocks with her children. "I have to work hard to change that show and replace negative stories with stories related to the future," she said.

 

Not planning for the next normal

Just when you are used to working remotely, many employers are recalling teams to their offices or mixed arrangements. This can severely disrupt the habits you adopt, good or bad.

 

"During the pandemic, many habits are disrupted, but what's interesting is that some people develop positive habits, such as eating healthier because they cook more, or doing morning meditation because they don't commute," Colin said .

 

Some habits may be worse, such as watching more TV or not going to the gym anymore. Colin recommends being honest with yourself and asking yourself: "How can I stick to things that are more effective for me? How can I challenge these things? How can I find habits that may have been lost or disrupted?"

 

"Consider your next normality by reflecting on the past year and carefully choosing what is left and what is going forward," she said.

 

Habits are often formed before you realize it, as a response to our surroundings. Colin said it's important to take a step back, give yourself some space and time, and think about what kind of life you want. "Ask yourself,'What works and what does not work?'" she said. "Then determine how you will move toward the next normal by consciously shaping new habits.”
