Let the life be fun again

Life always requires a variety of things. A recent study said that relating past issues is the best way to bring a feeling of enjoyment to things that we have now found so tedious.

One common problem is that people often get bored with a lot of things that they really liked before, whether it's food, or sex, or music, television shows, art forms. and cars. Researchers say no matter how much we enjoy those experiences, that emotion will gradually fade over time and it will affect our long-term happiness.

In particular, we have 'forgotten' - we forget what we have really gained and really experienced, forgetting that we have ever enjoyed other great songs, Have calls, eat delicious food, and meet lots of people. Instead, we only focus on a certain choice that doesn't satisfy us anymore. This can be understood through the process of forming people's habits, they become too familiar, attached to what they are no longer interested in.

But according to researcher Jeff Galak, a marketing lecturer at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, think only about the things that are relevant to a certain extent in life (for example, the lunches we often eat). deemed boredom) will lose our inherent habits and may make everything as attractive as before.

Galak and his colleagues explained this problem in a scientific way with the application of experiments on students. In the Consumer Research article (Journal of Consumer Research), published in an online magazine last month, he wrote:

'We can prove that people simply think about interesting experiences before they will quickly get rid of boredom with the same things in the present.'

This study is expected to be released in December.

For example, if someone feels that their favorite song has become boring, they should think of all the other songs they have heard since the last time they heard that favorite song.

This stimulus acts as a 'virtual' variety in life, it makes people feel less boredom, more satisfied about what they have or experience. And this is clearly a good sign.

Galak, along with Joseph Redden of the University of Minnesota and Justin Kruger of New York University, conducted three different studies to explore this psychological phenomenon.

In the first study, 91 subjects were randomly surveyed (most were female), so that everyone was willing to talk to a close friend after they had thought. to all other relationships.

Next, another study was conducted with 50 students at New York University (34 women, 16 men). These people heard a song up to 20 times. Three weeks later they felt like the song more if they thought of all the other songs they had heard before.

The results were similar in the third study. 50 New York students including 30 females and 25 males were studied with the theme of bean sauce. In all cases, these people can regain a sense of excitement with the food faster when they think of similar things (of course, not including irrelevant topics, such as famous people).

The author asserts, 'If consumers don't want to feel bored with the products they are using, they simply need to think of other similar products they used during that time.'

'For example, if at any time you feel you encounter a common case that you don't want to repeat your lunch meals, remember all the food you ate from your meal. yesterday's lunch. Our research shows that with doing so, your lunch will be less boring. '

The final goal of this story is not about the tasteless meals but the message: people can get rid of the current feeling of boredom with everything around them, from friends to pleasure They can really and should 'live a happier, happier life.'
