Most of us recognize that our emotional state influence our behavior. When we are highly excited, we tend to challenge difficult goals. When we feel sad or mentally depleted, we may prefer to do nothing and even experience emotional pain. As a result, we often strive to maintain a positive state of mind. However, when I have free time, such as Sundays, I sometimes find myself uncertain about what I should do. I am aware that this may be considered a non-question, yet the dilemma persists: How should I use my free time?
I think most of us are poisoned deeply by work. One of key reasons is that we have become distracted and addicted to stimuli. I am the example. I am always in a hurry and overwhelmed by worry about tasks that have tight deadlines. I feel exhausted every day when I get home yet I still want to watch short-video on Bilibili or Rednote to relax. And I find my colleagues have the same habit. But on Saturdays when I am free, I do not feel the urge to engage in this behavior. Because I encountered this kind of situation many times, I already know how to handle it. However, I still believe that work is toxic.
