Editor's note: After the busy work of one day, we are used to watching the video at home to brush the drama. This is not bad. People need to vent their emotions and relax. But sometimes when watching some garbage content at night will make our brain even more chaotic. As a result, the brain does not get the rest at night. In the evening, in addition to watching videos, there are many small things worthwhile to bring you positive energy the next day. This article comes from compilation, hoping to inspire you.

Data released by the United Kingdom in 2021 show that in the wake -up time, adults will spend an average of five hours and 40 minutes watching TV and online videos, accounting for one -third of the sober time. So if you worry that you spend too much time watching the video, it is normal, after all, many people are like this.

And if you want to live more fulfilling, you don't need to throw your TV and mobile phone out of the window, forcing yourself to do something complicated. What you need is to find your favorite activities to keep your life fresh, flexible and interesting. Choose something that can stimulate your interest to replace (part) to watch TV and watch videos. Over time, you will know what you can provide energy for your intelligence and interpersonal relationships, so that you can get rest when you sleep and keep your mood happy.

1. Prepare for the next night the next night

Rather than fighting interference during the day, it is better to control your impulse in advance. Take a few minutes before going to bed to eliminate things that may bring you interference tomorrow, such as cleaning the table, preparing work materials, and spending five minutes to plan for tomorrow's itinerary, and so on.

Eliminating interference the night before will make you more concentrated on the next morning.

2. Clean up the burden in the mind

Not all interference is external, we may remember the most distracted things in our heads. In this case, we can write a list of waiting items, arrange a trip on the calendar, or spend 5 minutes to clean up the brain in the evening.

Writing your thoughts can prevent things that are not resolved today to become a burden on tomorrow.

As Chris Bailey wrote in the book "Hyperfocus": "A blank brain is an efficient brain. The more things eliminated in the mind, the clearer thinking. "

3. Don't look at too much garbage content

Reality shows, talk shows, and celebrities gossip are like junk food for our brains. These are low -quality and highly processed content. Although we know that these things are a waste of time, they still can't help watching. One of the best decisions I made a few years ago was to stop watching the so -called "junk media content" of Paul Greenberg. Instead, I will watch a good movie or documentary and pay attention to some creators who make high -quality content on YouTube. If I decide to watch something at night, then this type of content will make my brain better, not the content of the junk media.

4. Let the brain rest well at night

In the evening, we rarely get a full rest. Often when we finish the hard work of the day, we will start to be busy with social networking, browsing news, and watching TV. We did not let the brain rest, but used more input and more information to disperse the energy of the brain.

I know that it is unrealistic to exclude all electronic equipment at night, and I don't think you should do this. Vowing the emotions, it is not bad to find some fun without brain. However, low -quality activity time should not exceed high -quality activity time.

5. Together with your family, board the board game night

If your family will habitually hide in your space after dinner and start online virtual life, you can try to take out one night to organize your family to play board games.

According to experts, playing chess games will allow you to enter a "heart flow state", a meditation state that can promote your brain recovery. In this case, your breathing and heart rate will slow down. In addition, your brain will produce beneficial chemicals under the state of "heart flow." This makes board games a pleasant experience, a happy way to pass the time at night.

6. Don't send a text message when you call

Studies have shown that although sending text messages will have an illusion of intimacy, it will actually reduce the stability and satisfaction of a relationship.

If it is for work and other purposes, you can use text messages, but if it is out of the purpose of emotional communication, it is better to call or face face -to -face communication.

7. Read some things that have nothing to do with work

Studies have shown that reading novels is one of the most effective ways to decompress. Studies have shown that after reading novels, human pressure levels will decrease by 68%, which is more effective than listening to music, walking or drinking tea.

Most of us regard reading as a tool that makes ourselves more effective, knowledgeable, and more interesting. But as the best -selling writer Matt Heiger once wrote: "The important thing about reading is not that it can help you find a job, but that it can give you a space beyond the reality." 8. There is no need to "have it." Called "

Platforms like WhatsApp and Messenger make communication free, simple and instantaneous. In this relaxed environment, we have formed an unhealthy expectation, thinking that others must always be there, can pick up mobile phones at any time, reply to SMS, reply to email, and update social media. We have to liberate ourselves from these unrealistic expectations for instant messaging. If your friend is a real friend, then they will understand what you need your time and space. If they can't do it, they may not be real friends.

9. Moving things that should not appear in the bedroom from the bedroom

The kitchen is used for cooking, the restaurant is used to eat, the office is used for work, the living room is used for entertainment, and the bedroom is used to sleep.

The better each room, the higher the efficiency of life. The bedroom can only be used for sleep and intimacy. Working supplies, laptops and television should not appear in the bedroom.

10. Write a line of diary every day

Last year's favorite birthday gift was "daily diary". Compared to writing a whole diary every day, it feels much easier to write a line every day, and it can be achieved.

I write a line before going to bed every night. Such writing will help me let go of my inner thoughts.

I hope that at least one of these ten activities can inspire you to spend less time on electronic devices, spend more time on interpersonal relationships, rest and focus.
