" The Fantasy Journey of the Shepherd Boy ": Anxiety is born at the same time as humans. And because we can never grasp it, we will have to learn to live with it—just like we have learned to storm.
From this we can see that anxiety is the norm in life.
When studying, we are anxious about our studies and grades; after graduation, we are anxious about our work and salary; when we reach the age of marriage, we are anxious about our partner choice...
We don’t have to exaggerate the harm of anxiety, nor do we have to fear it, and learn to live in peace with it.
Since anxiety cannot be avoided, how should I do it? Below are 6 small methods I have summarized. If you think it is useful, remember to save it and learn it!
Adjusting the mindset
The first thing we need to do is to adjust our mindset. We must realize that anxiety is nothing scary, just like happiness and sadness, it is just a common emotion.
When you feel anxious, don’t think too much, just like facing eating and sleeping, face it with a normal mind, don’t deliberately avoid it, and don’t emphasize it, let it come and go naturally.
Read more when you have time
I find that many times the reason for anxiety is that we read too little and the knowledge in our minds is too poor, so we are easily "kidnapped" by messy information on the Internet.
So, put down your phone, watch less short videos, and use your spare time to read more books after get off work every day.
Diderot said that those who do not read will stop their thoughts. If you read the book
, you will find that the things you once anxious will be solved.
Writing a diary
Musician Zhou Zhiping once said: We vent our emotions in the diary, hone our writing skills in the diary, and also begin to make progress and grow slowly in the diary.
When you don’t know how to resolve anxiety, try to write a diary, talk to your real self, and write down all the unhappy things. After you persist for a while, you will find that you have become more steady than before and can always perceive the real needs deep in your heart.
For friends who want to write, writing a diary is a good way to get started. We must first learn to observe and record ourselves in order to write more in-depth articles.
to do outdoor exercise
Goethe said that only exercise can eliminate all kinds of doubts.
I agree deeply. I once read a book "When I talk about running, what do I talk about" written by the famous novelist Murakami Haruki . It is written that since he started writing novels, he has insisted on running long distances every day, not only because he needs a strong and physical life, but also because running can bring him more thinking, which is very helpful for writing.
So, on weekends, don’t always stay at home, go out for a walk more often, you can run, climb mountains, or even take a walk in the park.
Organize the room
A long time ago, I read this sentence: Organize the room is to organize your life.
Until now, I like this sentence very much, it is simple but contains philosophy.
Every time I have troubles, I will start tidying up the house, tidying up the desk, and watching the unwanted items be packed out, just like watching those negative emotions flow out from the body. Looking at the clean and tidy house, my body and mind will be unexpectedly refreshed.
When you don’t know what to do, go and organize the room first!
Practice writing
Recently, I have also been practicing calligraphy and found that when I am in a particularly impetuous mood, it is difficult to write even simple strokes well.
On the surface, practicing calligraphy is about writing, but in fact, it will train our mind and emotions more. If you are anxious and impetuous, the words you write must have no concentration.
When you are in a bad mood, go and practice calligraphy. Play a soothing pure music to start cleaning your soul.
or above is my summary! I hope we can all live in peace with anxiety and grow in anxiety!
—— END—
Thank you for seeing this. If you think it is good, don’t forget to spend 0.01 seconds to like it and support it. With your support, I will be more motivated to continue writing! ❤️
