The more I watch short videos, the more anxious I become and the less patience I have to watch them to the end. Why?

Hello, I'm Xia Fan, the listening therapist, and I'm happy to answer your question. Watching short videos is supposed to be a way to have fun and relieve stress in your spare time, but I also feel that it's only a temporary pleasure for me that will soon disappear. It seems that I can't calm down enough to think deeply and work.

We get it—you're losing patience and feeling more anxious. Let's look at two areas where we can make improvements:

On the one hand, watching videos of funny bloggers is meant to relax and relieve work-related stress by distracting you. But you'll probably find that the happiness is short-lived, and it will become more and more difficult for you to concentrate on your studies and work.

Most of the content in videos is fragmented information, which makes it hard for people to focus and think. This can affect how well the brain processes information. Plus, watching a lot of short videos can make it harder for the brain to perceive and respond to the outside world. This can lead to problems like anxiety and social phobia.

On the other hand, we can try some healthier ways to relax and relieve stress instead of watching short videos all the time. In your daily life, doing some sports that you enjoy will make you produce dopamine and endorphins, which will make you feel better and help you deal with negative emotions.

Or, if you prefer, you can read a few of your favorite books. When you are absorbed in the content of a complete book, it can effectively help the brain to process and think deeply, and improve your concentration. If you still like to watch funny short videos in your spare time, you can also reduce the number of videos you watch appropriately and keep this habit within a reasonable range every day.

I'd like to suggest a book for you to read: Psychology and Life. I hope you find it useful. All the best!

Hello, I have received your question. I am ZQ, a heart exploration coach from the Yixinli platform. I can see that you are getting more and more anxious after habitually watching short videos. You are also less and less patient to watch such short videos. At the same time, you cannot calm down to do some learning and work that requires deep thinking.

We must understand these so-called short videos or games. They are called "nipple pleasures" by people and use some very cheap, easily accessible

These activities meet some people's happiness needs by secreting dopamine.

This week, our brains will secrete a lot of dopamine, which will numb us to some of the pain of reality.

It is impossible to make people aware of impending dangers. As the saying goes, "He who fails to plan, plans to fail." When I numb some of my judgment and indulge in the present, I am happy, but I am also ignoring the fact that there are still important things to do. For example, we go to work every day from 9 to 5, or even longer.

We don't think about whether our work has meaning, whether it is sustainable, or whether it will keep us safe until we can no longer do it or until we retire. We spend a lot of time on these fun activities, which means our patience and energy are divided.

People's energy is limited. If you spend time and energy on these things, you will definitely be unable to do other things. And it is precisely because of the brevity of these short videos that they are full of breaking news and their suspense is linked one after the other.

We tend to think our current life or work is full of boring things. Boredom prevents us from concentrating. When we return from trivial matters to things that require concentration or a slower pace,

You will find it very difficult. It's like a person who is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea, then going back to eating some coarse food and some chaff. It's something that's hard to achieve.

It's simple: you can go from frugality to luxury, but it's tough to go from luxury to frugality. When you're used to getting happiness fast, it's hard to wait to get some satisfaction.

I can watch short videos anytime, anywhere. I don't need to work overtime to do complicated tasks. I can just watch some short videos before doing these tasks. This way, I can get what I want and the happiness I want directly.

Don't waste your time and energy on something so important and complicated. This may be what we subconsciously think, but we need to know that there are very urgent and important things in this world, and our world may not just exist for entertainment.

We also have some future plans that we need to deal with ourselves. These are some of the necessary conditions for settling down in life. If these conditions are not in place, those short videos you're used to watching will not be able to last forever. We need to make some plans for the Titty Titty videos to prevent ourselves from becoming too immersed in them.

Don't spend so long on it every day. Start by spending one three-hour session a day and slowly reduce it to two hours. Then, control it to about an hour and a half. These short-lived pleasures are more important, and we can't lose them completely, but we can't indulge in them.

We can and should better allocate our time. Set up a delayed gratification routine. Read a book for 20 minutes or meditate for 10 minutes and exercise for 30 minutes before watching an hour of short videos.

This is possible. You will find that after you have done these things, you will watch short videos. This way, you can be sure that your patience will not be depleted as quickly, because you have already engaged in some appearance-satisfying behaviors beforehand, so that you will not be led away by dopamine.

Take the Life Foundation Color Psychological Test to identify your potential weaknesses and make the necessary adjustments.

ZQ?

I get it.

The time after work is for relaxing and recharging. You chose to watch short videos to relax, which was a good choice. However, you're becoming more anxious and impatient, which is a troubling problem.

I want to be clear that you are not alone, and that many people have had similar experiences. In our fast-paced lives, it is easy to get caught up in all kinds of fragmented information and lose focus on and reflection on in-depth content.

It's not your fault. It's a reflection of the modern lifestyle.

I have an opinion regarding the short-lived happiness and declining patience you mentioned. It is this: true happiness often comes from inner satisfaction and growth, rather than short-lived stimulation and excitement. When we immerse ourselves in the world of short videos, we temporarily forget our troubles, but that kind of happiness is superficial and short-lived. It does not nourish our hearts.

Overreliance on short videos also makes it difficult to focus on tasks that require deep thinking. This is because your brain has become accustomed to receiving and processing information quickly, and it feels overwhelmed and uncomfortable when it is required to focus for a long time on a task.

I have some specific suggestions for you on how to change this situation.

Set a fixed time to watch short videos, such as only half an hour a day, and gradually reduce this time. This will help you break free from your dependence on short videos and regain control of your life.

Second, you need to find some healthier ways to relax. For example, listen to some soothing music or do some simple yoga and meditation.

These activities will help you relax and improve your concentration and patience.

You should also get involved in activities that require deep thinking and commitment. For example, you could read a good book or learn a new skill.

These activities will help you exercise your brain and improve your thinking and concentration skills.

Finally, remember that change is a gradual process. Don't rush it. Give yourself time and patience to adapt and adjust.

And you must believe in your own ability and wisdom to face and solve problems in life.

My dear, life is always full of challenges and opportunities. You will face these challenges and find your own happiness and satisfaction because you have enough courage and wisdom.

You will have more patience and focus in the days to come. You will enjoy the things that truly bring you happiness and satisfaction.

Hello, host.

I'm a middle-aged guy who's eager to help and would love to get your feedback.

From reading the question description, I can see how the poster is feeling anxious and helpless. I want to give them a warm hug.

Before we get to the original poster's question, we need to talk about two concepts: fact judgment and value judgment. Fact judgment is like taking an exam. There's a standard answer. If you ask how tall you are, you can measure it and give an answer.

But when it comes to value judgments, there's no one right answer. Take this example: If I say you're too tall, that's a value judgment.

This is a matter of opinion, because everyone has a different idea of what makes someone tall.

First, I want to explain these two concepts so that the poster can understand that our answers are based on our own understanding, experiences, and values. So, the perspective, direction, and train of thought of the answers are just for the poster to consider. I hope the poster won't regard our answers as the standard ones.

The issue the original poster brought up is actually pretty representative. What we think of as relaxation actually brings us a deep sense of emptiness, and we get anxious. This is similar to the addictive mechanism of drugs or other things, in which the dopamine effect is most obvious.

When you watch a short video, your brain releases dopamine, which makes you feel happy. However, this happiness doesn't last long. When you switch to the next video, your brain expects new stimuli to continue releasing dopamine, which causes your interest in the current video to decrease rapidly and you seek more new stimuli.

This makes it hard to concentrate. Short videos are usually fast-paced, which means your attention is constantly interrupted and distracted. After a long time in this state, your brain may have difficulty adapting to tasks that require long periods of concentration, such as learning or deep thinking.

The pleasure we get from watching short videos is instant, so when we look back, we can't find anything more meaningful to look forward to, which will make us more anxious. This anxiety makes us seek higher dopamine levels, which creates a vicious cycle.

So, how do we solve this problem? We may have to try new things, and even these things may be uncomfortable at first.

For instance, we need to set aside some longer periods of time to read and think. This can be tough, as many of us have lost sight of what it means to think. Before diving into thinking, we should read books that can help us in our personal and professional lives. These books can help us reflect on issues that matter to us.

For instance, the original poster didn't have to ask this question here. They could have found the answer by searching on their own. But the fact that they asked it here makes you wonder if they don't want to think or act.

It's reasonable to limit the time spent watching short videos, given the vast number of users. We can't really avoid using these apps, but we should try to control the time we spend on them. It's best to start watching after you've finished reading and thinking, or after you've finished important work.

At the same time, we have to accept that our brains are wired to avoid thinking and conserve energy. We all know that sometimes we can't read everything carefully. Take your time. Change is a process.

I hope this helps. We all want our efforts to be seen and to get feedback from the host and other interested parties. Attention and praise are always useful.

People seek happiness and satisfaction. They look for ways to feel happy, and short videos give them instant happiness and relaxation.

The "Instant Gratification Trap" is a psychological concept that may explain why watching short videos makes you happy for a short time. Instant gratification means seeking immediate happiness, while delayed gratification requires patience.

In today's world, it's easy to fall into the instant gratification trap because of how entertainment and information are shared.

We often choose short-term pleasure over long-term benefits and a sense of achievement. This can affect our self-control and the achievement of long-term goals.

To break the instant gratification trap, you need to be able to wait and set long-term goals.

Watching a short video is an instant pleasure. Each video is a little story that can make you laugh.

This pleasure stimulus causes the brain to release dopamine, which makes people happy. However, as the videos keep switching, the brain releases dopamine frequently, making the response to pleasure numb and tolerance increase. A stronger stimulus is needed to produce the same pleasure.

Watching short videos gives you an instant gratification. Learning and work that require patience and deep thinking are a process of delayed gratification.

The human brain seeks instant pleasure and gratification, but delayed gratification requires more self-control and patience. Frequent instant gratification over a long period of time may weaken patience and concentration, making it difficult to think deeply.

Social media and short video platforms often have tempting content and infinite scrolling, which can make people addicted and cause them to ignore time. This can also affect concentration and depth of thinking, making people more likely to pursue simple, quick ways of obtaining pleasure.

We can change this situation by spending less time watching short videos and more time reading, thinking, and learning.

Set aside time to study and work without your phone and social media. This gives you more time to focus on a task and enjoy finishing it. Also, find other activities that make you happy, such as sports, art, or socializing. These can improve your life and happiness.

You can also try seeking the help of a counselor to understand your behavior and find solutions.

The happiness brought about by watching short videos and the problem of being unable to concentrate reflect the instant gratification and information overload in contemporary society. To change this, cultivate patience, self-control, and the ability to think deeply.

You can also try new things to make life more fun and happy. We hope this helps you think more about this topic.

Greetings.

Moreover, it is not only individuals who consume short videos after work; it is also a common practice. I, too, find humor in videos, which can effectively alleviate fatigue and mitigate the stressors associated with work.

Although the video is relatively brief, it will have concluded by the time one is fully aware of it. By the time one awakes, an hour will have elapsed. The effect of the video is to adjust one's emotional state to a state of happiness, which then allows one to proceed to the next stage of work.

It is evident that brief videos offer only transient alleviation from stress, and the joy they evoke is similarly ephemeral. This is the fundamental purpose of such videos.

However, this is not a fundamental, deeply ingrained need. Rather, it is a desire to utilize one's time away from work for continued growth and enhancement, for relaxation and engagement in activities that necessitate profound reflection. The aspiration to enhance one's personal capabilities is a driving force, and your influence is a testament to this.

Therefore, one will eventually become impatient with similar brief videos, perceiving them as inadequate for facilitating profound personal growth.

Indeed, if the desired outcome is not the short-term emotional regulation of the self, then it is not the satisfaction of a momentary need for happiness. It is possible that anxiety will increase with the viewing of short videos.

Ultimately, one may conclude that the time spent on such activities is not aligned with one's long-term goals and necessitates a significant investment of energy, which may ultimately lead to feelings of discomfort and fatigue. It is evident that the outcomes of such activities do not align with one's deeper needs and aspirations.

If we are certain of our deep inner needs, it is to engage in deep learning and work to promote our long-term progress. Consequently, we should allocate approximately half of our leisure time to reviewing videos or pausing them and engaging in projects that align with our preferences regarding work and learning.

It is important to note that long-term improvement is a gradual process. Despite our efforts to learn and work, it may take time to observe tangible changes in ourselves. During this period, it is natural to experience a certain level of restlessness.

The contemporary phenomenon of anxiety can be attributed to two primary factors: the inclination to pursue multiple tasks simultaneously and the desire for immediate gratification.

The impact of short videos is readily apparent and can be achieved relatively quickly, which contributes to their popularity. They have the capacity to alter our state from one of tension to one of relaxation in a matter of minutes. Some forms of inner growth necessitate prolonged periods of learning and may not yield immediate results. This is exemplified by abilities such as writing and communicating effectively.

It can take years of dedicated effort to observe any tangible improvement. It is not uncommon for individuals to become discouraged when they do not witness immediate outcomes.

Indeed, this is the fundamental distinction between the impact of short videos and the process of long-term learning and growth.

Identifying our own needs enables us to take prompt action. We can commence by placing our mobile phones aside, utilizing the time we have available in a more productive manner, and persisting towards our long-term objectives.

Subsequently, we learn incrementally, enhance our abilities gradually, and assert our individuality and autonomy in pursuing our interests. Rather than prioritizing immediate outcomes, we focus on sustained effort to advance our goals. This approach already fosters personal growth and achievement.

Affirm your own achievements and commend yourself for your continued growth and dedication to the task at hand.

Hello, question asker!

You say that you relieve the fatigue and stress of work by watching videos of funny bloggers, which is indeed a way for you to gain happiness. But you are also troubled by this. I can see that watching short videos one after the other doesn't give you the happiness you're looking for. It's natural to want to gain new happiness, but when you're in a hurry, it can make you feel impatient and anxious. Sometimes you don't have the patience to watch a complete video to the end, which prevents you from thinking and learning in depth. I can see the anxiety and unease in your heart, my friend. Hugs!

I just think that because you always want to think deeply and learn, and maybe you are very attentive and dedicated at work, it will make you more tired and stressed at work. I totally get it! In this way, I can really understand that you will feel happy and relaxed after work by watching short videos. All of this is totally reasonable and normal for you. I don't think there is anything wrong with seeking happiness in this way, but we should probably find a balance. This is so important!

For instance, when we're watching short videos, it's a great idea to set a time limit. Try to stop after 15 minutes. If we have a rule like this, we'll find that we don't seek happiness for the sake of it. We'll understand that happiness is really unlimited. If you feel happy from watching one short video, you'll probably need to watch the next one four times to feel a deeper happiness. If you keep seeking happiness, you'll fall into an infinite vicious circle. So I think that at this time, if you have a rule for the time you spend watching videos and make it a habit, then I think this way of reducing work pressure and fatigue is very good.

I know it can be tough, but I'm here to support you! If you don't try, you'll never know if it's right for you. So, let's start with setting aside half an hour a day to watch videos. If you can't do it one day, that's okay! We all have days where we just can't do it all. Who doesn't want to have fun and be happy all the time?

Let this happen and embrace this way of thinking.

If you can really understand and allow yourself to do this, I really don't think you will be overly consumed or anxious. In this case, you can also insert some other activities as appropriate, such as finding some outdoor sports that interest you, going to the movies, concerts, and pastimes with friends. This is also a great way to relieve stress and fatigue. Especially now that it is the season of spring blossoms, go to nature and absorb the essence of heaven and earth. The physical and mental pleasure this brings is really different from the short-lived happiness of short videos.

It's only when our body and mind are truly relaxed that we can regain our energy and strength. But playing short videos all the time will drain our energy and strength, and there's also a chance we might become addicted. You can easily see this about yourself, come here to ask questions, and seek help to change. This is your chance to change. As long as you decide to change, stick with it, and persevere, you'll surely emerge as a vibrant, wonderful person. Believe in yourself, you can do it! The world and I love you!

The issue you have raised is one that many people face. While watching short videos can provide a sense of temporary happiness, this feeling is often fleeting and lacks longevity.

Frequent switching of video content can also lead to focus-how-to-resist-distractions-9461.html" target="_blank">distraction and make it difficult to maintain focus on a single task for an extended period.

Furthermore, prolonged exposure to brief videos may result in the brain becoming accustomed to this straightforward and immediate form of stimulation. This can potentially lead to a reduction in patience and interest in complex tasks and deep thinking. Consequently, individuals may find themselves increasingly impatient to finish watching a video and unable to focus on tasks that require deep thinking.

To enhance the situation, we recommend the following methods:

Set a time limit for viewing brief videos. For example, allot half an hour or an hour per day. When the allotted time is up, transition to another task, such as reading, studying, or engaging in other activities that are beneficial for the mind and body.

It is beneficial to develop the habit of reading deeply. Select a suitable book and set aside time each day to read. Reading can help you develop concentration and thinking skills, and also bring more lasting and profound happiness.

It is advisable to create a study and work plan. This should include clear goals for study and work, as well as a detailed plan. This will help you to structure your time more effectively and reduce the amount of time spent on unproductive activities.

It is recommended that you increase the amount of time you spend exercising. There is a proven correlation between exercise and stress relief, as well as improved physical fitness and cognitive performance.

Should you encounter difficulties in modifying this habit, you may wish to consider seeking assistance from friends or family. They can provide helpful reminders, encouragement, and guidance in making gradual changes to your routine.

In summary, modifying habits requires time and patience. Those willing to exert the necessary effort will eventually overcome their reliance on short videos and regain the ability to concentrate and think deeply.

The happiness that comes from watching short videos is often short-lived and superficial. It relies mainly on quick stimulation and instant reactions, which trigger the reward mechanism in the brain and release neurotransmitters such as dopamine, which in turn brings a sense of pleasure.

However, this pleasure is short-lived. The brain quickly adapts to this kind of stimulation, so you need more stimulation to maintain the same level of pleasure.

If you rely too heavily on the fleeting happiness brought about by short videos, you will lose interest in other activities that require long-term commitment and deep thinking. This is because the brain has become accustomed to quick, instant stimulation and will not tolerate activities that take longer to reap rewards, such as learning or working.

Furthermore, short videos are designed to grab your attention, and their content is often fragmented, which makes it harder to concentrate. If you get used to this fragmented way of inputting information, you'll find it difficult to calm down and focus on one thing, especially those that require in-depth thinking and learning.

Here's what you need to do to change this:

You need to limit the time you spend on short videos. Set a reasonable time limit, such as only 30 minutes a day, and then focus on other more worthwhile things.

There are many ways to relax besides watching short videos. Try reading, walking, or listening to music. These activities not only help you relax, but also improve your thinking and concentration skills.

Develop patience and concentration. Improve your patience and concentration through exercises such as meditation, yoga, or concentration training. These exercises will help you better control your attention, allowing you to devote yourself to in-depth thinking and learning.

Set clear goals. Set yourself long-term and short-term goals to give yourself a clear direction and motivation to focus on things that will help you achieve your goals.

In short, you need to understand that short video clips are only a source of fleeting pleasure. They will not help you to grow and develop in the long term. You need to be more patient and focused. By adjusting your lifestyle and thinking habits, you can gradually get rid of your over-reliance on short video clips and regain inner peace and focus.

What you're describing is pretty common. It's about how the brain responds to neurotransmitters like dopamine and how we allocate our attention. Short videos are often designed to be compact and stimulating, quickly capturing our attention and triggering pleasure. This usually comes from the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine in the brain.

However, this pleasure doesn't last long because the brain slowly gets used to higher-intensity stimulation, so you need to keep refreshing content to keep the pleasure going.

Watching lots of short videos can make it harder to concentrate. Once you're used to this kind of quick, intense stimulation, you may find it difficult to stay focused on tasks that require long periods of concentration or deep thinking.

The brain has become used to switching quickly and getting instant feedback, so it can get impatient or find it hard to concentrate on things that require a long-term commitment.

Also, all that short video browsing might be affecting your emotional state. When you realize that the happiness you feel is only temporary and you have to keep refreshing the content to keep it going, you might feel frustrated or dissatisfied.

This emotional state might also affect your interest in and patience for other activities.

To improve the situation, you can try the following:

Set a daily limit on how long you spend watching short videos. Use this time for relaxation and entertainment, but don't let it take up most of your free time.

There are lots of other ways to relax and unwind besides watching short videos. Try reading, exercising or meditation, for example. Find activities that really help you to relax and feel at ease.

Make a habit of deep thinking. Set aside some time for learning or work tasks that require deep thinking. It might be tough at first, but you'll get used to it and enjoy it over time.

Keep an eye on how you're feeling. Notice when your moods change and try to figure out why. If you're feeling down or unsatisfied because you've been watching too many videos, you might want to make some changes.

In a nutshell, watching short videos to unwind is fine, but you need to be mindful of balance and moderation. At the same time, you should also pay attention to changes in your attention span, emotions, interests, etc., so that you can adjust your lifestyle in time.

Good morning, my name is Coach Yu, and I am a heart explorer. I would like to discuss this topic with you today.

The modern urban environment is characterised by a fast pace and high levels of stress and anxiety.

Our brains have a reward system that induces and reinforces specific behaviors such as exercise, food, socializing, and entertainment by producing pleasant emotions. These behaviors cause the body to secrete dopamine and maintain a relatively stable normal value. When we experience a lot of stress during the day and don't do these value-aligned things, we tend to compensate at night with some entertainment, such as browsing social media and watching short videos to find content that generates positive feedback and provides a source of dopamine from the internet. As the questioner noted, watching videos of funny bloggers after work can help to relax the mental pressure and reduce fatigue.

Furthermore, it is unclear when our society began to prioritize speed over patience. As a result, impatience has become a prevalent mindset. As the questioner noted, I have noticed a decline in my ability to focus on video content and to engage in tasks that require deep thinking.

Indeed, impatience can also contribute to feelings of anxiety, with every emotion potentially stemming from an unmet need within us. For instance, we may experience feelings of sadness when we miss an opportunity for a promotion or raise, or feelings of anger when we lose a treasured possession after years of ownership.

It would be beneficial to consider what thoughts and emotions are evoked when we scroll through short videos.

Additionally, it would be beneficial to consider the thoughts and emotions associated with moving to the next video.

Additionally, we can inquire of ourselves what our genuine desires may be. To ascertain our desires?

This is the first step in gaining self-awareness and understanding one's own emotions and motivations.

When anxiety is identified, it may be helpful to inquire about the specific concerns and associations that arise.

By accepting our emotions and allowing them to flow, we can avoid acting out due to emotional repression. Additionally, it is beneficial to record our feelings in the moment.

As the author of this writing, you are in a unique position to provide honest and open insights about your feelings. This approach can help us identify the underlying causes and effects of our emotions, as well as the root of the problem.

One strategy for improving our learning outcomes is to break down larger learning goals into smaller, more manageable ones. This approach can enhance our sense of control and efficacy, which in turn can improve our concentration and motivation. It can also facilitate the formation of a virtuous cycle, whereby positive reinforcement reinforces positive behaviors. One way to reinforce positive behaviors is to provide rewards, such as a nice meal or a small gift, to reinforce the connection between learning and happiness.

It is possible to identify work and study methods that align with one's personal characteristics, given that the distribution of energy throughout the day varies from person to person. It is also important to recognize that everyone's energy is limited each day. Pursuing the extreme in everything is often counterproductive and may contribute to the frustration experienced by many perfectionists.

It is also possible to transform our thinking and adjust our state of mind. Feeling impatient, fearing abandonment, fantasizing about a "straight rise" or even "leapfrogging" can result in a loss of emotional control and trigger a series of negative emotions such as anxiety. This is obviously a consequence that goes against the laws of nature. In fact, the process of growing up is a long and challenging road, a cyclical development and a spiral of improvement.

It is also advisable to seek assistance, as overcoming this issue may require time and support. It is recommended to identify a trusted family member or friend who can provide positive guidance and support. If necessary, professional counseling may be beneficial in releasing emotions and overcoming emotional blockages.

It is also important to empower ourselves and maintain an ordinary heart to connect with nature and achieve a sense of happiness. One can engage in activities such as smelling the fragrance of rice plants and frogs, listening to the sound of spring water, and feeling the breeze in the mountains. This can help in facing challenges with ease.

We recommend the following publication: "Life is Worth It."

I hope my answer can be of some help to you.

I believe you are aware of this, and I can sense your desire to learn and work on deeper thinking. It seems that you don't want to keep indulging in the fleeting happiness of short videos, but rather you hope to enjoy the joy and sense of accomplishment that comes from deeper thinking.

I would like to share some of my thoughts on this matter.

From the perspective of the brain's physiological mechanisms, it could be argued that the temporary pleasure gained from watching short videos is an unhealthy reward stimulus.

Many experiments in psychology have indicated that any behavior that stimulates the reward system to produce "dopamine" and other happy hormones may potentially lead to addiction. However, it's important to note that the brain does not distinguish between these things. As long as it can make us happy, the brain may encourage us to repeat the behavior.

The happiness derived from watching short videos is a transient form of happiness that arises from a fleeting stimulus. It does not necessarily lead to the creation of value. When we watch such videos, we experience happiness because we are receiving a stimulus of happiness. However, once the stimulus stops, so does the happiness. This lack of sustained value creation can lead to feelings of emptiness and anxiety, as we may feel that our time has been wasted. It would be more beneficial to focus on creating value and engaging in deeper thought. However, our brains are highly active when we watch short videos, making it challenging to immediately calm down and engage in activities that require significant energy. If our brains become accustomed to this pattern of short-term stimuli over time, we may develop a tendency to seek out more stimuli. This could potentially lead to a form of addiction.

It could be argued that the temporary happiness gained from watching short videos is a kind of unhealthy reward.

2. It is important to recognize that we all need rewards, and that it is beneficial to fill our reward buckets every day. However, if we do not fill our reward buckets in healthy ways, we may unconsciously turn to unhealthy ways to get pleasure.

It is important to recognize that we do need rewards and a sufficient daily dose of pleasure. This means that we need to fill our reward buckets every day. If we don't fill our reward buckets in healthy ways, we may unconsciously turn to unhealthy ways to get pleasure.

So, what might be considered healthy ways to fill our reward buckets? For example, we could consider having good relationships, doing work that matches our values, exercising, accomplishing things, reading and learning, and so on.

It would be beneficial to consider some unhealthy ways of coping. For example, overeating, gaming addiction, smoking and drinking, sex addiction, and even drug use.

It would be beneficial for us to consider using methods that are good for our bodies and minds to achieve happiness, rather than methods that may not be as beneficial to our health.

3. It might be worth considering that watching short videos is not necessarily the most effective form of relaxation. There are other ways of relaxing that are more conducive to our body and mind, and which can really help us unwind.

It's not uncommon to think that watching short videos is a way to relax. However, as you've experienced, it can actually be a form of consumption. When we're not aware of it, we can become deeply involved, which can significantly drain our willpower resources. It can also affect our rest and sleep, which can impact our overall well-being and performance. It's important to recognize that we do have a choice. There are more relaxing methods that can benefit our bodies and minds, and they can help reduce our stress.

For example, you might consider going for a workout, especially one you enjoy. This can be a great way to enjoy yourself, get fit, and feel good. You could also chat with a trusted friend, as confiding in someone is also a good way to relieve stress. You might also like to try going for a walk in nature. When you walk into nature, look at the vast blue sky, the green grass, the pink flowers, and the green trees. This can help to naturally relax you, as it activates your parasympathetic nervous system and relaxes your tense brain. When you watch short videos, your brain remains tense and you don't feel relaxed.

You might also find it helpful to try breathing exercises and muscle relaxation.

Ultimately, the objective is to achieve true relaxation and relieve fatigue. Given that the chosen method does not facilitate genuine relaxation but rather causes anxiety, it serves as a reminder that we may need to alter our approach. It might be beneficial to give the above methods a try and to have faith that they can bring about lasting happiness and help you achieve the goal of relaxation.

We hope you find this information helpful. Best wishes!
