Recently I watched Happy People, a documentary about how a group of people living in Siberia live throughout the year, cutting down trees, building fishing boats, fishing, receiving food and so on. Although the title of this documentary is called "Happy Life", the conditions are really difficult, and I can't feel happy at all. In winter, there is a lot of snow, and the cold force, the snow on the roof will crush the roof. In summer, mosquitoes are everywhere, whether it is people or dogs, they are surrounded by mosquitoes, and it is only slightly better at the air outlet. The hunters use the soil method to boil the tar by themselves, apply a thick layer of tar to themselves, the children, and the hunting dogs at home, take a bath at night to wash it off, and go back and forth the next day. However, under such difficult living conditions, one can still be very happy, because it can give full play to the autonomy of human beings. Just like an old hunter said, in the former Soviet Union, he liked being assigned the job of a hunter the most, because no one urged or directed him, he could decide when to start and when to rest, and he had full freedom. Although the conditions are very difficult, they can use their hands to make tools and use them to overcome various difficulties. Although this kind of life is very difficult, it is very enjoyable. In modern life, we often suffer from procrastination or something. On the one hand, we have been spoiled by modern technology, and we are accustomed to the rhythm of immediate pleasure and immediate response; on the other hand, it may be because we want to A lot of things are done by arrangement. What a person does on his own initiative, and what he is arranged to do, even if it is the same thing, but the feeling is completely different. Have you ever found that you enjoy doing things you like to do, even if they are not arranged, even if it is difficult? So, to prescribe the right medicine, if you want to overcome procrastination, on the one hand, you should delay the enjoyment. When you take out your phone and play, count to 120. On the other hand, when facing work and life sincerely, you should refuse the things you don’t like first. If you can’t refuse, you can do it again. You are also worthy of yourself. For the things you like to do, stick to it unremittingly, even if there is no output, enjoying the process itself is a victory. If you don’t find something you are particularly interested in, then you might as well try it out, explore it, and give yourself more opportunities. Especially if you are like me, you were addicted to learning when you were young and didn't have the opportunity to develop your hobbies. You might as well make up for this homework when you grow up and explore your own unknowns more. In fact, think about it, we have been eager to understand others and build relationships, why don't we calm down first, understand ourselves, explore ourselves, pamper ourselves, and be our best friend?
