提起“心理治療”這個詞,很多人的腦海中會浮現出倚在長沙發上,花一小時來挖掘童年悲慘記憶的畫面。而一種與之不同的治療方法暗示,如果將關注的焦點轉向現在和將來,會讓人更快樂,更健康,建立更好的人際關系。 Robert Neubecker 這種方法被稱為“時間觀療法”(Time Perspective Therapy),其中一項內容是判斷一個人擁有以下六種不同觀念中的哪一些,這六種觀念分別是:過去積極時間觀(你喜愛自己的過去);過去消極時間觀 (你有遺憾或過去發生過不幸的事──或者你有現在被你夸大為不幸的事情);現在享受時間觀(你享受當下,喜歡犒賞自己);現在宿命時間觀(你感覺命運不受自己控制,那何必費心去控制呢?);目標導向未來時間觀(你會事先計劃,做任何決定都會權衡利弊);超驗未來時間觀(你過得很好,因為你相信獎賞是死後進天堂)。 http://cn.wsj.com/big5/20130912/hea075648.asp?source=rss People who are more authentic on social media have high levels of well-being - https://www.zmescience.com[..]ocial-media-authentic-well-being-952354/ Can positive thinking prolong your life?

When you ingest grapefruit, those furanocoumarins permanently take your cytochrome P450 enzymes offline. There’s no coming back. Grapefruit is powerful, and those cytochromes are donezo. So the body, when it encounters grapefruit, basically sighs, throws up its hands, and starts producing entirely new sets of cytochrome P450s. This can take over 12 hours. - https://www.atlasobscura.com[..]grapefruit-history-and-drug-interactions Medlar - https://www.bbc.com[..]-strange-medieval-fruit-the-world-forgot Cherries - https://www.webmd.com/diet/ss/slideshow-health-benefits-cherries Fruit and Veggie Skins You Can Eat - https://www.webmd.com/diet/ss/slideshow-skins-you-can-eat Slideshow: Fun Facts About Fruits and Vegetables - https://www.webmd.com[..]ss/slideshow-fun-facts-fruits-vegetables 10 Ways to Serve a Tomato - https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/ss/slideshow-tomato-ways It’s possible to divide the world in two: the part that venerates the humble-seeming fruit known as the date, and the part that does not. The part that does is home to hundreds of millions of people, from the Atlantic coast of Morocco across North Africa and Egypt to Mesopotamia and east to India. In this part of the world there aren’t really “dates,” because only a philistine would speak in such generalizations. There’s the plump sugar-bomb medjool, the chewy khalas beloved of Emirati connoisseurs, sweet and sticky Saudi sukkary, tart yellow barhi peeled and eaten fresh, the varieties picked early, called rutab, and served frozen with coffee at the upscale cafés of Riyadh or Abu Dhabi. There’s ajwa from Medina, said to be the favorite of the Prophet, the dark Persian kimia, the translucent deglet noor, and many others with evocative names like halawi or Sagai VIP. - https://www.smithsonianmag.com[..]sweet-sticky-history-the-date-180980983/ https://list25.com/25-deadly-fruits-you-might-not-know/ Cranberries can bounce, float, and pollinate themselves: the science behind a Thanksgiving classic - https://www.fastcompany.com[..]he-science-behind-a-thanksgiving-classic We’re told to ‘eat a rainbow’ of fruit and vegetables.
