Recently, there was a controversy about the difference between sybarites and hedonists, so I had to turn to the press for information, are these concepts really similar? Moreover, hedonism is directly related to the concept of happiness. To be honest, I was embarrassed earlier if it occurred to someone to call me a hedonist. But!
Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin published the results of an interesting study about the fact that in order to achieve happiness, you need to be able, focusing on long-term goals, periodically "lose self-control" and allocate time for short-term pleasant activities. Scientists from the University of Zurich in Switzerland and Radbaud University in the Netherlands have shown that the same feeling of happiness as realized self-control brings enjoyment of short-term pleasurable activities when people do not think about long-term goals
“For example, while lying on the couch, you can keep thinking about a sport that you’re not doing at the time,” says co-author Daniela Becker of the Institute for Behavioral Sciences at Radbaud University. opportunity to relax. Hedonistic and long-term goals should not contradict each other, emphasizes Bernecker. “Our research shows that both are important and complementary in achieving well-being and health. It is important to find the right balance in everyday life. "
Hurray, friends, people who can rest without remorse and break their own rules from time to time have a higher sense of subjective well-being in the future👏🏻
