Use positive emotions to relieve "qi"
Many long-lived elderly people talk about their own health secrets, and there is always one thing: don't get angry. The famous cartoonist Fangcheng can still write articles on computers when he was 100 years old. He said that he is a natural optimist and can always keep a cheerful mood. If he is busy with things, he will "have no time to think about unhappy things."
You will inevitably encounter unhappy things in life. You can try the following methods to regain your positive emotions.
1. Three-thinking method to control anger
Beijing Normal University former Department of Psychology Zheng Richang Professor published an article in the Health Times in 2019 that when you are angry about something, you can try the "three-thinking method to control anger", that is, if you think about whether it is reasonable, second-thinking the consequences of getting angry, and second-thinking the alternative method, give yourself time to think calmly, and negative emotions will not override.
2. Try rubbing for venting
When you can’t bear it anymore and want to vent, psychological counselor Wang Meili published a tip in the Health Times in 2019. You can find a ball-shaped object or dough or plasticine, imagine putting your unhappy things in it, rub it gently, and at the same time, hinting yourself: it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone, I’m getting more and more relaxed and happier. This is also a benign catharsis method.
3. Have a good mentality of "major things turn into small things, small things turn into small things"
This mentality can avoid irritability in many small things. Once you have a dispute with someone, you can take the initiative to leave this environment, find a cool place or wash your face, and calm yourself down. At the same time, you can also distract yourself and not think about this matter all the time. ②
Being angry means punishing yourself for other people’s mistakes, dispel unhappy emotions, and don’t “poison” your body.
