To be a misery: daydreaming fills half our waking hours
Daydreaming, sitting at the table quietly and doing nothing but thinking over the past or contemplating the future fills almost half of our waking hours with misery, say some psychologists. Harvard University psychologists have found that people are happiest when they are “living in the moment” and not dwelling on their position in the world.。
They declare that for 46.9 percent of the time people’s minds wander and it is these moments which make people most unhappy, reports the Telegraph.
People’s lives are most enjoyable and content when they pay complete attention to what they have been doing. It is believed that a complete focus on the job in hand can endow people with the happiest emotion- even happier than when people are indulging in the pleasant thoughts, said a report made in the Harvard. Meanwhile, people are easiest to fancy about what had happened in the past or what will happen in the future when they are resting, working or using our home computer. Daniel Gilbert and Matthew Killingsworth, study co-authors from Harvard University, said that it is a mixed blessing that humans have the unique ability to review their past and think about their future. On the one hand, to daydream makes life colorful and can help to compensate some regrets in life; on the other hand, daydreaming takes too much of people’s time which can otherwise be spent on more meaningful work and thus bringing more joy to people. “A human’s mind has always been wandering, and a wandering mind is an unhappy mind,” their study concluded.
