Before about Titus, first about the habits of words a few ...<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Researchers for many years tried to understand and describe the mechanism that is behind the formation of habits. Logically, the matter is simple: if we do the given activity, repeat it every day, then eventually a habit will develop, right? Well, it will not rise<\/strong>. After all, if every day I eat czernina, although I hate her heartily, after a year, I will still hate her and if I have the opportunity, I will eat something else. The habit of eating czernina will not be produced. At the very beginning, therefore, it was necessary to answer the question why the brain likes habits so much<\/strong> and what causes that habits are created at all<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our brain loves habits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The answer turned out to be extremely simple. The brain, accounting for 2% of the human body mass, has a demand for about 20% of the energy that the body has. The more the brain thinks consciously, the more energy it needs.<\/strong> All processes occurring in the subconscious are processes with low energy demand, because the subconscious operates about ten thousand times faster than consciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we compare our brain to a large, modern computer, then our consciousness will be the ongoing tasks we see on the screen, and the subconscious will be processes that run in the background - which we do not see and yet do their job. There is still the topic of code performance. And here our evolution is unmatched. Well the brain employs incredibly talented "programmers"<\/strong>who create a super efficient code called a habit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Habits must lead the shortest way to the destination<\/strong>. Providing minimal energy consumption with a brain-friendly effect. Although the goal is not always beneficial for us, it is fixed in habit. For example: if we feel hungry to reach for a bar, our brain programmers will code the habit: hunger = eat a bar = satiety and contentment (endorphins). And we have a ready code \/ scheme that is not the healthiest for us and yet it is fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's how a habit arises<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Many people believe that for a habit to arise it must be repeated many times<\/strong>. Truth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing could be more wrong<\/strong>. The habit can be fixed immediately, it must only fulfill one condition: he must engage all the senses of man<\/strong>. Przyk\u0142ad? Prosz\u0119 bardzo. Kto z nas, b\u0119d\u0105c po swoim pierwszym, fantastycznym seksie, zako\u0144czonym orgazmem, nie by\u0142 od razu pewien, \u017ce b\u0119dzie chcia\u0142 to robi\u0107 jeszcze raz i jeszcze raz? \ud83d\ude42 W\u0142a\u015bnie powsta\u0142 nawyk “od pierwszego zdarzenia”. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so the answer came to the scientists, which governs the mechanism of habit formation. It is involving as many senses as possible that are responsible for our emotions<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Why are computers and smartphones so addictive?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because, they strictly use the pattern of habits in the human brain. They engage so many senses from the first contact and generate so many emotions that our brain is actually without a chance<\/strong>. A habit is created right away! In addition, there is also a whole array of Mendeleev, various chemical afterburners in the form of: serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, which do not make it easy to defend against harmful habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

How to win with a habitual "machine of doom"?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Further research by scientists proved that once developed habits, one can not simply get rid of, e.g., delete. Old habits can only be replaced with new ones<\/strong>, using previously sawn pathways of habit formation. The stronger the involvement of the senses, the easier it will be to replace the old habit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here it appears our chance of winning!<\/strong> We just have to come up with something that is even more interesting for our children's brains and ready! Simple? Only seemingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Field games - our chance to win<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Wielkanocna<\/a>
Easter field game 2018 - a set of materials<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By snorting different ideas on how to log my two birds into real life (sometimes I feel they have logged out and forgotten the PIN), I refreshed the idea of field games that I was leading as a team in scouting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The times of scouts, as everyone knows, have come somewhere immediately after the era of "licking stone"<\/strong>. Therefore, everyone who lives in them is a decrepit old for children, who chews bread with his fingers and is about 30-40 years old (sometimes a bit more;)). Each, even the simplest terrain game, has a new character for children. As usual, no one has the right to remember anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the above rule there are exceptions from what I have remembered, as an aged old man, every terrain game it aroused enormous emotions<\/strong> in the scouts I led. She was the subject of endless conversations over the next camp days. There were hundreds of ideas<\/strong>how to solve a given puzzle and epic stories were born, what dangers were overcome to complete the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to check if this educational method is still applicable in our modern times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The habit of Easter field games<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There is probably no better time to "run" the game than the period of the awakening nature. Unfortunately, this is something that also begins to wake up in our kids and it's hard to endure them at home.<\/strong> After the whole winter, they are "rusty" and simply squeak when getting up from the couch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought Easter was the perfect moment. The beginning of spring, and waiting for some small gifts for the Easter bunny. well then we have two necessary conditions<\/strong> a fairly successful off-road game is provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
