人与自我——自我管理
Do you know a large number of young people are influenced by all kinds of choices today? This can be a good thing or a bad thing,but it leads some young people to experience “mental internal friction(精神内耗)”.
Experts regard “mental internal friction” as the confusion(困惑)that happens when people have to change their thoughts in order to move from “old ideas” to “new ideas”. They have to ask themselves such questions as “Are the new ideas good?” “Do they fit me?” or “Will they make me feel happy?”. It is certainly not easy to discover the answers to these questions,especially when you are still too young to have enough life experience of making proper decisions. So there are some suggestions that can help you reduce your “mental internal friction”.
Be consistent with yourself. Always act and behave in a way that is true to your values and beliefs. To this end,you will always need to check yourself. As an old saying goes,“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom(智慧).” You have to honestly think about your own personal habits,and even fears
and worries.
Develop new interests. A friend of mine decided to learn about Beijing Opera. This may sound strange,but he said that learning about “old things” made it easier for him to deal with the “new things” of modern life and all of those changes.
Spend time with nature. Society and technology may change,but nature remains the same. Being with nature takes some time,but it will help you know yourself and forget the stress of “mental internal friction”.
All in all,we can do something to deal with “mental internal friction”. Hope everything can make you find your inner peace.
