美国一位社会活动家曾说：“生活就是习以为常；而习以为常，就是拒绝求知。”
当我们处理一系列有关心理健康的问题时，我们常常陷入惯常的反应中，不可自拔。当我们遇上挑战，也常常不由自主地告诉自己，“管他呢，反正我不可能成功。”我们对自己的反应习以为常。然而，一旦我们意识到这个问题，我们便可以重新开始。 那么，你生活中有哪些习以为常的习惯？
Abraham Joshua Heschel was one of the leading American Rabbis, theologians（神学者）, and social activists of the 20th century. He said something that I’ll never forget and that has stayed with me since the moment I heard it. In his book God in Search of Man, he wrote, “Life is routine and routine is resistance to（对……的阻力） wonder.”
There's a true story of a man I have worked with who has spent his entire life believing that his ears were not symmetrical（对称的） and therefore sunglasses always looked crooked（弯曲的，歪的） on his face. He came to accept this over time, until he came in touch with mindfulness practice.
One day as he was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom he chose to take a moment to come down from his busy mind, become present, and really look at himself. What he noticed was astonishing.
He suddenly realized that he had not been standing straight and that one shoulder was slightly lower than the other. In that moment, he chose to stand up straight and low and behold his eyeglasses were no longer crooked on his face. All this time he thought his face was lopsided（不平衡的） in some way when in effect, it was his posture.
This story is just a
When dealing with a myriad of（无数） mental health conditions (e.g., stress, anxiety, depression, or addiction), we get stuck in routine ways of reacting to things. A challenge may arise and the automatic reaction is “who cares, I’ll never succeed anyway.” As we become accustomed to this, it can be likened to unknowingly walking around with crooked posture. Once we become aware of it, we can begin the process of straightening ourselves out.
It's a worthy question to explore: What do you notice in your life that's routine?
Do you watch TV every night? Do you take the same route to work every day? If you are in a relationship, do you sleep on the same side of the bed night after night or does only one of you cook the meals or clean? Do you often shoot down new ideas? Do you react to stress or pain with routine avoidance? Is this routine taking away the wonder in everyday life?”
To do: Pick one thing from your “routine list” and choose to begin becoming aware of it and switching it up.
