42、nd model of car everywhere?Has that type of car just become popular in your city?Were they there before?Or are you just going crazy?Youre not going crazy.The reason you are now just noticing them is what psychologists call“priming”Basically,the cars were always there.You just didnt recognize them co
43、nsciously.However,when that certain model of car becomes part of your conscious thinking,you start“automatically”recognizing all of the other cars that are the same,because you are already“primed”to do so.The priming effect takes many forms.In one study,students were asked to walk around a room for
44、5 minutes at a rate of 30 steps per minute,which was about one-third their normal pace.After this brief experience,the participants were much quicker to recognize words related to old age,such as forgetful,old,and lonely.Reciprocal priming effects tend to produce a coherent reaction:if you are prime
45、d to think of old age,you would tend to act old,and acting old would reinforce the thought of old age.This research shows that the way we think influences the way we act,and the way we act influences the way we think.A similar conclusion was reached by the American psychologist William James a centu
46、ry ago,but he emphasized the effect on feeling.“Actions seem to follow feeling,but really actions and feeling go together;and by regulating the action,which is under the more direct control of the will,we can indirectly regulate the feeling,which is not.Thus the path to cheerfulness,should our cheer
47、fulness be lost,is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there.”So,thats it.If you want to be happy,just sit up and act happy.Based on these scientific findings,we can adopt certain priming effects to help make ourselves consistently happier.One thing we have in c
48、ommon is our ability to think,and thus feel.Pleasant thoughts have been proven to produce the chemicals that make us feel happy,particularly thoughts and feelings of gratitude.When we purposefully go through and think about the things were grateful for and deliberately feel as much gratitude as we c
49、an,we are flooding our mind with the“happy chemicals”.Furthermore,by consciously thinking,feeling and expressing gratitude,we will not only be happier in the moment,we will be primed”to recognize the things in our life to appreciate.Each time this happens,the“happy chemicals”will be produced.Do this
50、 every day and we will become consistently happier.This makes up for the momentary happiness we gain from eating chocolate or buying new clothes.More than that,combining thoughts of gratitude with happy acts like smiling and laughing will have a supplementary positive effect on our state of mind.46.
