The Influence of Reading on Mental Health

Many people don't like reading and often complain that they can't get in. In fact, this is the reason for the lack of motivation. If you can truly appreciate the help of reading, then you can certainly cultivate and love reading. The following is to introduce the effect of reading on mental health, hoping to help you!

The Influence of Reading on Mental Health

Reading can not only increase people's knowledge and enrich themselves, but also be a therapeutic method, commonly known as "reading therapy". In recent years, "reading therapy" has been widely used abroad. For example, many hospitals in Germany and Britain have established "patient libraries" to encourage patients to read and accelerate the pace of health. Italy established "Poetry Medicine Co., Ltd." to publish poems with different attending functions for patients to choose according to their symptoms. Reading can not only increase people's knowledge and enrich themselves, but also be a therapeutic method, commonly known as "reading therapy".

For example, many hospitals in Germany and Britain have established "patient libraries" to encourage patients to read and accelerate the pace of health. Italy established "Poetry Medicine Co., Ltd." to publish poems with different attending functions for patients to choose according to their symptoms. In fact, reading can cure diseases, which was recorded in ancient China. Liu Xiang of the Han Dynasty clearly pointed out: "Books are still medicines. Good reading can cure fools. " This is both a metaphor and a real reference. To cure stupidity is to enlighten the mind. People with more knowledge will have a higher realm and a broad mind, and they will be able to resolve all kinds of troubles and worries by themselves, and their mentality will be naturally optimistic, so as to achieve the goal of getting rid of illness and abandoning illness and being healthy physically and mentally. People who have read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms may still remember a story about "going to the forefront of reading". It is said that Cao Cao has a "headache" and often "his head is tied to the city". The pain is unbearable and miserable. But when he read "Please Pay for Exercise" written by enemy Chen Lin, he broke out in a cold sweat and felt that the wind had recovered. A similar story is recorded in the Summary of Tang Poems, which tells the story of someone recovering after reading Du Fu's poems. Lu You, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, died at the age of 85. One of the secrets of his longevity is his love of books. He "thinks about the source when drinking water, and changes when he is poor", and seeks pleasure by reading comfortably. Examples of this kind are too numerous to mention.

Modern medical research also points out that good books, articles and poems are like psychological consultants and noble teachers. People often read it, which is obviously a kind of spiritual food, which can prevent emptiness, help people eliminate boredom, solve depression and forget pain. Reading therapy, as a kind of therapy or adjuvant therapy for treating diseases, has a certain effect on relieving boredom, relieving anxiety and dredging pleasure for almost all kinds of patients with chronic diseases and mental diseases. Scientists have proved that reading beautiful and elegant poems is conducive to the healing of collapse; Reading jokes, comedies, sketches and other books is conducive to the treatment of neurasthenia; Reading classic books with twists and turns and fascinating plots can cure anxiety; Reading novels with vivid and humorous stories can cure mental depression.

There are two main mechanisms for reading therapy to benefit physical and mental health: one is "use it and discard it". Reading more books and thinking hard can slow down the aging of brain cells, keep the blood flow in the head and accelerate the metabolism of brain cells. Therefore, experts warned that the characteristics of brain cells are "use in and waste out". Therefore, people should read more books, not only books that are easy to understand, but also books that require brains. Without reading and thinking, lack of information stimulation, brain function can not be exerted, and the level of special bioactive substances in the brain is just so! Will decrease. For a long time, the function of the brain will gradually deteriorate and the ability of analysis and judgment will decline. Studying hard and using the brain hard can promote the activities of brain nerves and sensory information motor central nerves, and can actively improve and enhance brain function.

Second, adjust the mood. British philosopher Bacon said, "Reading makes one wise, and reading poetry makes one witty." Tao Yuanming, a great poet in Jin Dynasty, once said that when reading, "every time you know something, you forget to eat happily". Gorky, a former Soviet writer, said: "Books will make your life easier;" It will kindly help you understand complex thoughts, emotions and events: it will teach you to respect others and yourself; It inspires wisdom and soul by loving the world and human emotions. "This shows that reading has the function of regulating emotions, relieving troubles and depression, and can cultivate thoughts and tap wisdom; It can purify the mind, eliminate all kinds of selfish distractions and broaden the mind.

Correct reading methods and examination skills

Correct reading method

Before discussing the correct learning method, we should remind everyone of the enlightenment from the previous' drifting experiment at sea': before each study, we must resolutely tell ourselves:' I am a good person and have done a lot of good things recently, so I will definitely study hard this time'. Whether the mood is good or bad, whether the mental and physical conditions are good or bad, this confident psychological construction will give people a strong hint of "certain success" in a preconceived way, and achieve a good sign that "a good beginning is half the battle".

From the previous discussion, we can sum up what is the correct reading method, which is introduced below.

1, keep healthy:

Normal work and rest, exercise and diet are all necessary, especially diet will affect our physical condition. A correct diet can not only clear the mind, but also prevent and treat all diseases. Many correct exercise and eating styles have been taught in textbooks, so I don't need to go into details here. What I want to emphasize here is that the diet should not be too rich and greasy. In the process of human development, before we entered civilization, we were hungry for a very long time (at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years). Even in civilization, only a few nobles can maintain food and clothing, and most of them are hungry serfs and soldiers. Therefore, our genetic structure has become a function, which can make our body and mind exert their greatest strength in a state of hunger. It will take at least several hundred thousand years to change this genetic structure naturally. Therefore, the correct food intake should be a' mild hunger state' that keeps the body alive. In other words, before the big exam, eating a little less is one of the secrets of not being nervous and getting high marks.

2. Keep your attention highly focused:

Going to a speed reading class and strengthening your concentration is the fastest way. I remember there is a kind of overspeed reading method invented by Koreans: trained people can also learn the reading method of an enlightened person praised by Buddhists. Is to completely turn off their consciousness, and don't let yourself notice only a few words when reading with your eyes. But like a camera that focuses at infinity, it instantly reads the whole page of text into the brain and leaves it to the subconscious to understand the contents of the book. The perfect goal is to read millions of words per second. Therefore, the browsing time of each page will be less than one second (note: the enlightened person's persistence is broken, his survival instinct is underestimated, and the rules of his judgment system become simple and clear, so the information processing in his brain becomes extremely efficient and he can make intelligent responses to most things in an instant). It should be one of my personal dreams to go to that kind of speed reading class if possible. In addition to helping classmates or others to stabilize their emotions, if they can meditate, pray, or any monotonous religious ceremony every day. They can also gradually reduce the number of times their consciousness plays a role, thus strengthening their concentration.

With high concentration, you can correctly capture all the information through the five senses such as eyes and ears at a very fast speed in any situation, and then send it to your brain before the subconscious makes a choice. Don't worry about your brain getting stuck. Emerging brain dynamics has long proved that our brain memory bank can store infinite things.

3. Train your consciousness not to interfere with your subconscious (to capture the feeling of genius):

Take the previous exam as an example. If you can't write a question, take a deep breath to relax yourself and keep a sensitive heart. Read the questions carefully again. If you can write it, you will know it sooner or later. If you can't write it, read it again. If you can't write yet, do something else. If this problem can't be solved, then check other problems and go back to do it when the news to be done appears. Never think about how to do this problem. Once you figure out how to do this problem, it is easy to be caught, constantly thinking about how to do it, causing interference from consciousness to subconscious, leading to regret having done this problem after the exam. When we have the opportunity to find ourselves in conscious overuse, we can take a deep breath, exhale slowly, and repeat it several times to suppress the effect of consciousness and return to the correct method.

The same is true in class. When listening to the teacher explaining the text, try not to think about it, let your heart be like a pool of clear water, and keep your mind flexible and agile. Although seemingly unconscious, I still concentrate on listening to the teacher. The so-called concentration is to make the body in a slightly comfortable and relaxed state (the practice method has been suggested above), and listen to the class if nothing happens. We should never try to understand the teacher's explanation, because we will know it in an instant or later. If you don't understand, the speed of understanding will not be fast, but the conscious action of wanting to understand will interfere with the later listening. As long as the mind remains flexible, the subconscious will begin to digest what the teacher says but we can't understand. When the teacher turns over to write on the blackboard or pauses, he can quickly recall what the teacher just said, so that he can quickly understand some places he didn't understand just now. A very basic concept is that whether I understand or not is a subconscious matter. If I understand, the subconscious will send a signal to the consciousness, and the consciousness can only know whether I understand or not-whether my subconscious knows or not. For example, how to use gauss elimination to solve a system of linear equations with four variables cannot be completely stored in our conscious memory. Therefore, when solving problems, it is a process in which the consciousness sends out several necessary instructions and asks the subconscious to eliminate and replace them step by step. The conscious behavior of' I can do it' is that the subconscious mind has been connected to the memory bank, waiting for the consciousness to give instructions at any time to start doing' I can start giving back instructions at once'. I won't do it' is a subconscious return instruction that is not fully prepared. Of course, there will be other factors that lead to the hump behavior that I think I will do, but I can't do it yet, but I can correct it from the continuous learning process.

Note that to' keep your mind in a sensitive state', its main function is to give instructions to the subconscious. What you have recently learned, touched or touched is very important. You should be able to understand or understand the situation, so the subconscious will constantly analyze them. If you are in an unconscious state, it will have an effect similar to that of Buddhist meditation, and you will be in a semi-conscious state, which does not correspond to the wisdom of the world. On the contrary, it will send an instruction to the subconscious not to analyze and deal with the things that have been touched recently, which is of course not conducive to reading good books. Because there are more than a million advanced computers in our brains, which can handle millions of things at the same time, we don't have to worry about the lack of subconscious.

Another significance of keeping a sensitive heart is to keep the heart in a more objective state, which can dilute the subjective recognition of' seeing things as yourself' mentioned above. Many cases of failing the exam are related to our subjective misunderstanding of the meaning of the text, especially the inaccurate pronunciation or memory of English words. This tragic situation can also be found in the case of high eyes and low hands. Because it is more objective, it is easier to reach the high standard that consciousness does not interfere with the subconscious.

Let me remind you again that you should always practice relaxation when you have nothing to do, and often go to' experience the key to concentration and relaxation'. In fact,' If you don't pay attention, are you relaxed? If you find that your body is not relaxed, don't tell yourself to relax, just calmly return to a state of inattention, but let your heart be like a pool of clear water and full of vitality at the same time. Over time, you can relax slowly and naturally at any time, and easily enter the best state of' consciousness does not interfere with the subconscious when it is unnecessary'. The word "brain domain" in the set sentence cartoon can also be continuously developed.

To sum up this passage, whether you are in class, doing homework, doing homework, taking exams, or treating others, you should relax your body and mind, keep a sensitive heart, and don't try to understand any signals collected by the five senses (that is, don't let your thinking consciousness interfere with your subconscious). If the external information is known or familiar to us, the mind will naturally send out information and instructions, so that the body and mind can make an incredible best response. Once we have the heart to try to understand those external information, our reaction will sink in a bad direction.

That's all for now. I hope everyone can get what they want through hard work! Everyone has his own way of learning.

Examination skills

Many details have been done in the exam, and you can get good grades when you combine them. The following instructions hope to help the students.

1, enter the examination room early

Many children come to the examination room before the exam, which can easily lead to their psychological discomfort and nervousness. It is suggested that they must arrive at the examination room half an hour in advance for the real exam, to publicize their self-confidence (I am ready), and to familiarize the children with the environment and keep moderate excitement before the exam.

2. Avoid careless loss of points

In order to reduce carelessness and contempt, each of the 22 papers has a score loss caused by carelessness, such as calculation errors and failure to understand the meaning of the questions, such as questions 2 and 3. Some students are absent-minded and don't check separately after finishing. These are all bad habits. If you don't stop ringing the bell, you should always calculate carefully.

3, do a good job of time allocation

In terms of examination time, there are 20 questions in 90 minutes, with an average of 4 minutes for each question. As a whole, there is 10 minute to check the learning method.

The following types were discarded in the time allocation:

(1)2 minutes without thinking.

(2) I have an idea, but my own method is very complicated, and I can't calculate it within 4 minutes or I can't guarantee it is correct.

For the problem of computing class

Observe before you act. Don't calculate questions without ideas, give up decisively.

4. Don't leave empty questions.

Make sure every question has an answer and write a reasonable one. Never leave a blank in the real exam, especially when it comes to 19. You have a 50% chance of scoring.
