Back in 2020:One day,I was scheduling appintments in the ffice;the next,I brke my leg and had t stay in bed.Over time,I grew sick f vide cnferencing and TV marathns,and started searching fr smething new t fill the lng and restless days.
A headline n a website caught my eye:“This Weaving Lm(织布机) Saved Me When All My Previus Hbbies Disappeared”.This was the universe speaking t me.I immediately bught all the things recmmended—a small lm,a few clrs f threads(线) and a weaving bk.
My first weaving great.I skipped the bk and free-styled a pink-and-white clth t hang n my apartment dr.It started ff OK;I strung the lm successfully and figured ut hw t slide the threaded needle ver and under the backbne f the clth.
Then,mistake after mistake,I pulled the thread way t tight,making the sides curve in.There were lts f gaps,where I culd see the white threads underneath the clred nes.I culdn’t make the lng fringe(穗) at the bttm.In a fit f frustratin,I left it a mess.
Humbled by my pride,I pened the weaving bk.I learned hw t get my edges straight and my ends neat.I figured ut hw t sew backs nt clths,stuff them with cttn and make clrful pillws t display n my sfa.Sn I started making sme fr my families and friends.I even saved up mney t buy a 4-by-4-ft lm,where I wrked n bigger bjects.
I was fficially taken with it.Actually,I’ve never been gd at anything that requires hand-eye-brain cperatin.But weaving,smehw,feels different.It requires the same steps repeated ver again and encurages yu t lse yurself in the prcess.Every time I pick up my lm,my brain quiets dwn;as my needle slips between threads,I grund myself.I’ve never lved a hbby like this.

Have yu ever wished yu culd be better rganized r mre sciable?Or mre inventive and riginal?Perhaps yu’re a cnstant wrrier,and yu’d prefer t be a little mre carefree?If any f these thughts ring true,yu are nt alne.Many surveys shw that at least tw-thirds f peple wuld like t change their persnality.In the past,such desires appeared t be impssible.Our persnalities were thught t be frmed in childhd and t remain fixed thrughut lives.Recent research,hwever,suggests that with the right psychlgical strategies and enugh effrt,peple can successfully muld (塑造) their cre traits int the shape they desire.That is what psychlgy prfessr Nathan Hudsn and his clleagues have shwn with studies.
The research has centered n five traits (特点) that are thught t cntain ur mst fundamental characteristics.Knwn as the “big five”,they are:extraversin—hw utging and sciable yu are;cnscientiusness—hw rganized and disciplined yu are;agreeableness—hw cncerned yu are with scial harmny;neurticism—hw nervus and sensitive yu are;and penness t experience—hw imaginative and curius yu are.Peple’s scres fr the “big five” can predict imprtant utcmes.Peple wh scre highly n cnscientiusness,fr example,get better grades at schl and earn mre.Thse wh scre highly n neurticism,meanwhile,are mre sensitive t stress.
In the study,smene wh wished t be mre cnscientius might be asked t carefully read an email befre sending it,r t write a t-d list befre ging t bed.A neurtic persn might be given exercises t imprve emtinal regulatin,such as writing dwn feelings when they are hard t cntrl.The aim is fr the thinking patterns and behaviurs they make t becme habitual.And the evidence s far suggests it wrks well.Similar results culd be seen in a later experiment,which used a smartphne app t cach participants in their desired “big five” traits.
As Aristtle argued mre than 2,300 years ag,we becme what we repeatedly d.
