Why not do anything, but it will be more tired?

More and more people have such an experience. They feel that they have nothing to do, but they feel very tired and tired. In fact, the problem lies in "nothing to do". Doing psychological counseling and lectures, I know where I went today, but it is difficult for me to have a certain sense of meaning in the office. Feeling solid, let us immerse ourselves in work. Not afraid of fatigue, afraid of "nothing to do."

I found that most of the work in the office is a file report, which is not very troublesome, but I don't want to do anything when I get home. When doing consultations and lectures, the brain strength should be greater. In fact, after the end, it is full of energy. When you go home at night, you can write something. Doing psychological counseling and lectures, I know where I went today, but it is difficult for me to have a certain sense of meaning in the office. It is not that the work itself has no value, but that it is difficult to feel that it is connected with the future, with others, and with the larger world. It is difficult to feel that it is part of a more grand and orderly whole - and this is meaning. The essence of feeling.

Psychologist Robert Kagan said: Life as an activity itself is an activity that creates meaning. Constructing a sense of meaning is not only our biological instinct, but can even be equated with all of life activities. In this sense, "nothing is done" is the most tiring. Sitting in the reinforced concrete office, dealing with archives, stamps, and leaders all day long. It seems to be idle, in fact, it takes a lot of effort to constantly confirm its existence in this world.

In addition to salary, it is difficult for today's people to intuitively feel the fruits of their labor. Sometimes we are even depressed and guilty about our work. This hidden frustration will create a barrier between me and the world. It is difficult for us to draw a definite and meaningful map for our lives. We feel that we are just a small screw in a huge world, but we can't see how this screw is part of the world's operation.

What we need is not objective value, but meaning to others. May ask yourself, even if the work is trivial, but can it have a positive impact on others? Once we have confirmed this, we have established contact with the world, resulting in "as long as we are honestly staying here, do It’s just a matter of doing things right now. This sense of practicality allows us to immerse ourselves in work without any doubt, without having to look for it. Not afraid of fatigue, afraid of "nothing to do."
