Philosophers have their own golden idea.The"golden mean"says moderation(自我节制) in all things is the best way to live one's life.It is an idea linked to the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle.Similar thoughts exist in Buddhism and Confucianism.(哲学思想)
Ancient Greek myths told of a time long ago when people lived in peace and happiness.Poets called it the"Golden Age".A golden age now describes a historical period of great artistic,scientific or economic progress.

Take one of my patients Kate,who often spoke of her shoe addiction,as an example.She said she had many more shoes than she could use or afford,and she found it nearly impossible to pass up a pair that caught her eye.When she was stressed out,she bought shoes.When she felt sad,she bought shoes.If Kate forced herself not to buy shoes for a week or two,she didn't get physically ill.But she was rarely able to resist shoe shopping for much longer than that.
Many different causes are behind the phenomena.First of all,we think there is a genetic component,since compulsive behaviors seem to happen again in families.An imbalance of chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters (神经介质) may also be to blame.In addition,compulsions often go hand in hand with anxiety and depression.
How do you know when it has crossed the line?Ask yourself these questions:Are you busy planning and doing the behavior?For example,are you having trouble concentrating on work because you're spending time shopping online?Is the behavior negatively affecting one or more areas of your life?Have you tried your best to stop the behavior but couldn't?If your answers are"yes",you may be struggling with a compulsive behavior and need some help.
When you find yourself having a compulsive behavior,you should start by admitting that you have a problem and thinking about what is driving the behavior.And then try to interrupt or at least postpone the behavior.Changing the way you do it is also a good idea.For example,if you can't stop eating sweets every day,try having an apple every time you want that candy bar.Finally,if you feel you need more help,consider seeing a therapist (治疗专家),who will give you tools to change the actual behavior.
