Yesterday, I went to my brother’s pastry store and helped him. I will do it until the middle of March. Since I am still feeling yesterday’s fatigue, let’s talk about it briefly today.
The cake factory is cold!
There was one thing I had underestimated: the cake factory is cold in winter!
Since cake is better at a low temperature, there was no strong heating.
However, wearing a down jacket is unsuitable for baking. I had no choice but to wear multiple layers of thin winter clothes and use a sticky hot pack.
Since last December was not so cold, and I didn’t prepare them last week, my skin’s condition suddenly worsened after last week’s help. My weak liver caused it. The liver regulates body temperature, so I was vulnerable to the cold.
I am learning through my experiences.
The psychology of neglecting
By the way, I recently found it pleasant to create something while moving my body. An example was making cookie dough yesterday. Although it was physically demanding, it excited me.
It may be a similar task to organizing and cleaning up. They require physical exercise and logical thinking simultaneously.
That would be why I recently felt that giving our all is more enjoyable than being lazy when helping someone in need.
Laziness seems to have a certain psychological naturalness. Its cause is a situation where one cannot manage oneself. In that situation, the need and want to make our own decisions urge us to conserve our physical strength.
For example, when we follow someone else’s orders without our desire to do so, we often wish we could choose a different path if given the chance. In that case, if we don’t have enough mental and physical energy, we will miss the chance.
That may be why we tend to become less motivated as employees.
On the other hand, helping someone requires being outside of the client’s management. Those in need means those who cannot manage their situations on their own.
That may be why helping someone without a salary will allow us to give our best.
Conclusion
Anyway, yesterday’s helping at my brother’s pastry store was physically challenging, but it was exciting.
Before Valentine’s Day, there might be more days when I help him.
I am enjoying moving my body and creating things.
Thank you for reading this article. I hope to see you in the next one.
