According to psychological theory, human personality classification is not only divided into introversion and extroversion, but also into type A personality and type B personality. So what are type A personality and type B personality? Please read the story below:
Liu Wei has been a strong girl since she was a child. She is the monitor of her class. In the eyes of her teachers and classmates, she is also a good student with excellent academic performance. However, she always feels that she has not done enough. She not only requires herself to be the best in academics, but also needs to be better than others in the class in other aspects such as sports and music.
So, she was busy all day long. She got up early every day to run, had breakfast and went to school. After school in the afternoon, she went to the piano store to learn piano. Even in her spare time, she had to take out an extracurricular book to read. My brain cannot be idle for even a moment. When she was in the third grade of junior high school, her class teacher saw Liu Wei busy every day and advised Liu Wei's mother: "Liu Wei's homework is already very intense. At this time, can she take a break from piano lessons or running?" Liu's mother said helplessly: "She requested these activities herself, and her father and I also tried to persuade her, but this child is too stubborn and always says it's okay!"
In this way, over the years, relying on "just With the belief that "success is allowed, failure is not allowed", she relied on her best results to get into the best high school in the city and into the key universities that everyone shunned. After graduation, Liu Wei successfully entered a multinational company and continued her hurried life. Planning this event today, arranging that meeting tomorrow, my daily schedule is full, I always want to try my best to do everything well, but I always feel that there is not enough time.
Liu Wei, who has achieved satisfactory results at work, has never been able to find a boyfriend who can keep up with her. In college, a boy from the same major asked her out. Taking advantage of the break between activities, she went out to keep an appointment. However, from shopping, eating, to following him into the movie theater, she kept muttering in her heart: "Watching a vulgar romance movie in the movie theater and wasting 90 minutes in vain seems to be a meaningless thing. It's a waste of my time - I have more important things to do!" So, before the movie was over, she returned to the school activities without saying a word and continued to play the role of activity director. .
Liu Wei, who still remained true to herself, didn't really meet her opponent until she met Li Xiao, a newcomer in the department. Li Xiao is a girl with a calm personality and does things unhurriedly. She is one year younger than Liu Wei, but has two years more work experience than her. She seems to be particularly calm inside. She is not as fickle as Liu Wei in her work, but she has solved difficult customers one after another in a tepid manner.
Liu Wei met a strong opponent, and her competitive spirit was aroused again. She has always wanted to be strong and face-saving, and she doesn't want anyone to be better than her. So, she started working overtime every day, running around, either on business trips or attending meetings, focusing all her thoughts on surpassing Li Xiao. She thought: "At the end of the month, there will be a new round of personnel changes in the company. I must be promoted to department manager and let Li Xiao see my abilities." However, a week later, she was admitted to the hospital because of anemia caused by overwork. Hospital, need to stay at home to rest. All her work is handled by Li Xiao, and the appointment at the end of the month will naturally lead to Li Xiao being promoted to department manager...
Like Liu Wei, is overly competitive, wants to be strong and good-looking, and lives a busy life all day long. , people who are overly nervous are typical Type A personalities. People with this kind of personality are very fast-paced whether they are exercising, walking, or eating. They are impatient with the slow progress of many things, and they always try to do two things at the same time. They neither know how to stay healthy nor how to keep healthy. Don't know how to spend leisure time.
Just the opposite of Liu Wei, who has type A personality. Li Xiao, who has type B personality, has a tepid personality. He works in an orderly manner and has a systematic way of dealing with things. He is capable of important tasks, but is content with everything. Like to compete with others.
People with type A personality overemphasize the concept of time and often ignore the quality of life and work; people with type B personality are wise, alert, calm and creative.Because of this, it is often the stable Type B people who occupy top management positions; while the Type A people who work hard and always strive for advancement can only become the best salesmen, salesmen or sales managers.
In terms of health, type B people are more optimistic about their health than type A people, and they are also most likely to be associated with longevity. Survey data shows that more than 80% of long-lived people have Type B personality. The onset of migraine and coronary heart disease is often closely related to Type A personality. Among patients with coronary heart disease, 70.9% are people with type A personality. The probability of type A people suffering from coronary heart disease is even twice as high as that of type B people.
According to a psychological point of view, character not only determines destiny, but also affects health!
In other words, people who are impatient, impatient, and competitive are more likely to develop the disease. Even if no disease occurs, the number of type A people in a sub-healthy state far exceeds that of type B people.
So from a psychological point of view, how to adjust type A personality? , here are some simple and easy methods to see if they are useful to you:
1. Eliminate mental stress
(1) Reduce workload and increase Spend time with your family, learn to appreciate and express love, and value harmony.
(2) Take a walk at a fixed time every day, the time should be no less than 40 minutes, and the distance should be no less than 3,000 meters.
2. Improve interpersonal relationships. People with "Type A personality" have strong personalities, are impatient and impulsive. You have characteristics such as aggression and are prone to conflicts and quarrels with others, so you must work harder to improve interpersonal relationships and gain recognition from others. Otherwise, even if you have done a lot of work, you will not get support and it will be thankless.
3. Slow down your mood, actions, and slow down the pace of life and work. Many people now advocate "slow life" to relax their body and mind.
4. Pursue cooperation rather than competition. People with "Type A personality" have a strong sense of competition. They have to compete for superiority in everything and must do better than others. This can easily arouse the resentment of others.
5. Enjoy the process rather than strive to be first. In fact, there are many things we cannot change. For example, some people earn 10,000 yuan a month, and some people earn 2,000 yuan a month, but they have different educations, different jobs, and different pressures. Same, there is no comparison at all. Therefore, it is enough to enjoy the fun at work and the sense of fulfillment that work brings to you.
6. Learn to relax and don’t make yourself nervous all the time, or even harm your family. Relax when it's time to relax. Reading a book or listening to light music at night is a good choice. Going out to play during holidays or gathering with relatives and friends are all good choices.
7. Cultivate interests and hobbies outside of work. In fact, neither work nor family can be everything in our lives. No matter how busy you are, you should have your own interests and hobbies. If you like shopping, go shopping, and if you like calligraphy, practice it regularly. Only in this way will your heart be filled with joy instead of restlessness.
8. Cultivate a broad mind and a noble realm. People with "Type A personality" love to be provocative and have a tendency to care about everything. To improve this shortcoming, they need to cultivate a broad mind and a noble state of cultivation. For example, read more biographies of famous people, learn their magnanimity and magnanimity in dealing with others, and learn from them when encountering others. Take a long-term view and know how to give up.
Through the above methods, Type A personality can not only overcome some personality weaknesses, but also avoid some health risks.
