Enjoyment makes life worth living. It
helps us feel better about ourselves, and it enables us to learn more from our
experiences. According to a study, people from various fields like artists,
athletes, chess players, musicians, engineers and doctors were interviewed
about how they feel when they are doing what they enjoy. Their descriptions of
enjoyment were similar in spite of the fact that their activities were varied.
During the state of enjoyment you
often cease to be aware of anything outside the activity in which you are engaged.
Self- consciousness and self-doubt disappear and you are likely to lose all
awareness of time.
It is important to create rewarding
experiences for yourself, to have an enjoyable atmosphere in which to engage in
mental activities.
Any mental activity that “feel good”
to you is a reward and will induce positive changes in the brain, ranging from
the release of natural opiates to the consumption of more brain enhancing
oxygen and nutrients. The memory created by these neural changes make it easier
for you to engage in the mental activity the next you attempt it.
