As a premise, it is much easier to become miserable than to be happy. So, the way to maximize miserable feelings is from the following.


◆ 1: What to keep still


This method is that it keeps staying in the room as much as possible, if possible in one room. Let's organize all the tools needed for living such as refrigerators and PCs into one room.


It is also recommended to cling to the laundry.


Even if I want to take a walk outside on a sunny day ... ...


Never be tempted.


Do not do exercise or any other form that stimulates the reward system and releases endorphins.


This method efficiently produces a cycle in which you feel sick due to being still, and you still have to stay still if you become sick. "Standing still" can produce results very easily and effectively.


◆ 2: I mess up the sleep cycle


Insomnia is a very reliable presence when sailing the sea of ​​sorrow.


It confuses the productive part of the brain trying to guide you to a happy island in the sea of ​​sorrow.


The sleep cycle is very delicate and requires at least three days to create a healthy sleep cycle.


Have at least twice a week sleeping time and several hours off bedtime ... ....


People who want to make more effect, let's shift the wake-up time.


The more you increase the days with different sleeping hours, the more you can not sleep regularly ....


Furthermore, sleeping time will become diverse. The goal is to make sure that you will never "fall asleep at the same time as nature".


◆ 3: Maximize time watching the screen


People want to take action when they get bored, so let's enjoy using smartphones at such times. Also, the screen of the smartphone plays a role of waking a person when it gets tired and sleepy.


As possible, I gazed at the display and fell asleep while holding a smartphone in my hands.


And as soon as you wake up you touch the smartphone.


Raising your head will find a happy island ... ...


Always look at the screen and keep your head down.


Beyond the computer there are excellent people and clear bots trying to attract your attention so they move as they lead.


◆ 4: Use the screen to stimulate negative emotions


Let's create anger and sorrow for what you can not do with your power using screens such as TVs and smartphones.


While keeping a state of not doing anything, it takes in information securely.


What you like is to take you out of the room and try to make meaningful actions with people around you.


However, even "favorite things" it is possible to help make miserable. Please concentrate on "bad events" that despair yourself and produce a sense of resentment.


If it becomes a situation where you must make a donation, take a meaningless method as much as possible ...


Please do not be disappointed that "nothing changed".


These ways make miserable feel stronger but still the brain may try to help you, such as "set a goal".


The things I would like to remember here are that the goals for achieving the goals are "to be specific", "to be measurable" "to accompany action" "to be responsible" "to have a time limit "Must be met. So, let 's take the fifth method.


◆ 5: Set "VAPID goal"


The VAPID goal is the goal of being "ambiguous" "not shaped", "unlikely to be realized", "misplaced", "no time limit" goal.


Let not only the goal but also the way to the goal be vague.


If your motivation goes up, not a small step-by-step goal of "doing something with today's laundry", but please set a goal that is too high to fail, such as "clean the entire house today." .


It is also effective to concentrate on what you want to achieve, which is the end of the goal, such as "develop market application before learning coding".


These behaviors make the productive part of the brain dysfunctional.


Also do not forget to wait until motivation occurs, without setting a deadline.


By raising the VAPID goal, the productive part of the brain trying to improve myself as a reward for the stacking of small steps ......


It will always turn into an accused being about "not being able to achieve the set goal".


◆ 6: Go straight to happiness


At first sight, it sounds like a way to be happy, but this is also a way to make you feel miserable. Because the human brain tries to feel happiness, I will still try to fight even if I take the method from 1 to 5.


In such a case, please imagine a happy island where happy people always live. This action transforms the idea of ​​"happiness" into a feeling such as "there is no such people" or "joy that always felt does not exist".


Happiness is like a bird and I will not capture it while chasing to catch it.


Rather than trying to forcibly catch a bird, if you refine your ship to make bird's nest and put water and food, the birds are coming unnoticed by you.


...... In short, please do not do such behavior.


◆ 7: Follow instinct


This is very important thing. As there is a magnetic field of darkness in the sea of ​​sorrow, once you begin these actions, the "compulsion of impulse" inside you points to the right direction.


The correct direction means that you do not want to leave the room ......


I lost anything ......


I want to use knowledge as a material of sorrow.


In the long run, various compasses may appear, but please aim only to the true North Pole pointed to by the "impulse compass" you have.


In addition, this movie is written by Dr. Randy J. Paterson "How to Be Miserable: 40 Strategies You Already Use"It is made based on the book called, and certainly people become miserable in the way written in movies and books. Conversely, if you do the opposite of what is shown here, you will be able to spend your days happily.
