26、r guess is that you are tired from visiting the store and buying gifts.It is easy to get stuck，both spiritually and physically by having too much.

31、 special meaning or adds no value to your lifegive it away. Have only what youneed and what you can see. Test Those Limits:See how long you can go without shopping.

32、ll to the test. After your allowed time，chances are you will realize all those extrablouses werent worth it and you will set yourself up for future spending control. Cut the Cord:This sometimes means giving up your modern technology:TV，cell phone，computer，etc. Limit yourself to only a few hours of T

33、V per week，or only 30 minutes of socialmedia per day. Youll make more time for the things and people that you love and clear outsome unnecessary noise from your life.

34、out that which doesnt lead to your happiness andsuccess and add more of what does.Remember，a pared down lifestyle doesnt mean less success or less happiness.

38、 when listening to your favorite music?That exciting feelingwhen you hear your favorite songs?According to a recent study，it seems the same thing can happenwhile you are reading，but not with every kind of text. This opens up interesting questions aroundhow music，reading and emotions are connected in

39、 the brain.The study“ We decided we would do a comparison between four or five different kinds of texts to see howthe brain reacted，”explains Adam Zeman，a scientist. “ The participants (参 与 者 )lay in an MRIscanner reading the texts，and then we compared brain activity for those five texts.”The texts

40、ranged(涉 及 )from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones，including the Highway Code，parts fromnovels，and poems.So what happened in the participants brains while they were reading?Emotional reactionAs the researchers observed，participants found some texts more emotional than others.

42、matter whether you are listening or reading if you get a thrill. That wasone quite strong finding.”Introspection(内 省 )There were more interesting findings.

44、 future，about other people，and that network seems to be more strongly related to poetrythan with other texts，”explains Zeman. This connection between poetry and introspection could bethe subject of further research.ConclusionsThe study shows that the different texts activate different areas of our b

45、rains when we read.Zeman says，“ the study did support what we thought:reaction to literature was going to be a bit likethe one to music in terms of emotion.
