The sun lazily spills over me, the light listlessly weaves through the cold air, completely losing the mightiness of summer. I bathe in this somewhat gentle sunlight, enjoying the books, music, and fragrant tea, as well as my comfortable recliner, bringing me leisure and tranquility.
Left hand with a book, right hand with tea, and then listening to soothing music, occasionally daydreaming, the afternoon time, leisure is stretched so long, and irritability disappears without a trace. A week of irregular but very busy life, on the afternoon of the weekend, completely liberates myself.
Looking up at the window, the busy crowd on the street is still busy. In an era where steps are counted in seconds, not many people will sit idly for an entire afternoon like me.
A friend suddenly called, saying that he didn't know how to pass this long afternoon. He originally planned to invite two or three classmates to sing for an afternoon and have a big meal in the evening, but unfortunately, everyone was free, leaving him idle. He turned around and asked me what I was doing in the afternoon, and I blurted out a sentence: "I'm giving my mind a vacation."
Giving the mind a vacation, although it was an unintentional sentence, think about it carefully, isn't it?
People at work are整天running around for money, students are always working hard for grades. Occasionally, there is a little free time, either directly sleeping, or just inviting a few friends to sing and eat, saying it's to vent and relax the body and mind. We seem to be getting more and more used to this model.
But when the song ends and people disperse, why do we feel more and more lonely? At night, are the tears in the eyes all deceiving ourselves? Why do we still feel that the heart is so tired?
Our mind needs a vacation. Mental relaxation is only a temporary relief of the pressure at that time. Only when the mind is truly relaxed can we have real happiness and truly be liberated.
Why not sit quietly, read a book, listen to a song, and then seriously think about the problems that have troubled you for a long time, and sort out your thoughts in an orderly manner? At this moment, it should be your quietest but most rational time.
Music and books should be in sympathy with the mind. The notes and words quietly soothe your tired heart. They know it really needs rest. Have you ever thought that what you need most may just be to make a cup of tea, sit quietly, and let music and words guide you to relax the body and mind? Maybe many troubles, when you really face them, you will find that they are so vulnerable.
But we usually just blindly complain about life and society, but don't face or solve them correctly. We are painful, we escape, and the heart is getting more and more tired. Stealing a half-day leisure from the busy life, in fact, what we need to do is very simple.
When you feel that the heart is very tired, please also try to accompany yourself with music and words, listen to music quietly, read books, and thinking is really a good habit worth cultivating.
Left hand with a book, right hand with tea, please remember to give your mind a vacation.
