减压的新方法

As the pace of life in big cities is getting faster, people are looking for more ways to relax. Let’s take a look at two ways people are reducing stress in Beijing. One is the game of "Room Escape", and the other is hypnosis.

"Room Escape" was originally a computer game. In recent years, it has been adapted to a real life game.

There are more than 10 locations in Beijing where people can play this game.

According to the rules, the players are first taken to a house with several iron doors. They then need to find a way out of the house within one hour. Many clues can be found in the house to help the players open the door or get out of the house through other means. Different houses have different ways of escaping, all of which require players’ bold action, careful thought, and teamwork.

The entire process is monitored to assure the safety of the players.

Many players are white-collar workers looking for a fun diversion on the weekend and a way to relieve stress.

"I come here every week. The game is a lot of fun. People can forget their unhappiness from work when playing the game."

Game Club Employee said, "People need to make reservations to play the game. Normally they need to book half a month in advance for the weekend slot."

Another relaxation technique that is gaining popularity is hypnosis from a trained psychologist.

Li Lei, Consulting Psychologist, said, "The brain is composed of consciousness and subconsciousness. Hypnosis is a way to communicate with your subconscious."

The psychologist asks the client questions when he or she is in a state of hypnosis. The aim is for the client to find out their real thoughts.

Li Lei says it is a good way for people suffering from insomnia or anxiety to reduce their stress.
