Zhengzhou Chinese Medical Hall: Many people mentioned in private messages that the life of middle-aged couples is very monotonous, so they always feel anxious or even depressed. what to do? How to get rid of it?
You need to know that there is emotional contagion between partners. Emotional contagion is the phenomenon whereby people can acquire positive or negative emotions from others. And this infection-like phenomenon most often occurs at an apparently unconscious level.
Because emotional contagion operates on an unconscious level, people mistakenly believe that it is almost uncontrollable, but this is not the case. As mindfulness tools and strategies increase, so does our ability to tap into our subconscious, meaning that emotional contagion can be manipulated.
So, how to manipulate it? Here are some suggestions for you:
1. Be more positive.
When we complain about our choices to others, we unconsciously communicate their feelings about us. Then, let’s express more positive emotions.
2. Question negative emotions
You said you felt stressed. Does this have to be true? Of course, the answer is not necessarily. We are influenced by the stories we create in our minds. If you think it's pressure, it's pressure. Likewise, if you think it will be good, then it will be good.
3. Smile. Always smile when facing
. The endorphins and the hormone serotonin released when smiling make people feel happy.
Work hard with your partner to infect each other with positive emotions. I believe you will get better and better.
