3.Daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time.Or it was considered an unhealthy escape from real life and its duties.Daydreaming has always had a bad reputation,but now scientific research has showed that daydreaming may actually improve your mental health and creativity.It can even help you achieve your desired goals.Now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming.Some think it may be a very healthy thing to do.Researchers are finding daydreaming,they tell us,is a good means of relaxation.But its benefits go beyond this.A number of psychologists have conducted experiments and have reached some surprising conclusions.
Dr.Joan T.Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth.It also improves concentration,attention span,and the ability to get along with others,she says.In an experiment with school children?the same researcher found that daydreaming led the children to pay more attention to details.They had more happy feelings.They worked together better.Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved self-control and creative abilities.
But that's only part of the story.The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives as we want them to be.Industrialist Henry J.Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming.He maintained that"you can imagine your future."Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse.The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor.For these famous achievers,it appears that their daydreams came true.
Of course daydreaming is no substitute(代替者)for hard work.You have to work hard to develop skills.Daydreaming alone can't turn you into your heart's desire.But in,combination with the more usual methods of self-development,it might make a critical difference.And who knows:You might see your own daydreams come true.
