? Life philosophers put forward the concept of vitality: besides the strength and energy of the body, there is also the strength or energy of life. It is believed that vitality has its particularity.
? Henri bergson (1859-1941) thinks that vitality is an upward impulse, while matter is the reversal of life impulse and the result of its downward fall. Life is an extension, and the characteristics of this period of life can not be understood by sensory observation and rational analysis, but only by intuitive reflection on one's own life.
? Generally speaking, vitality is the ability to maintain life activities, the ability to survive and develop, and also refers to a state of prosperity and vigorous development. Plants need soil, sunlight and water to grow. It seems that environmental factors affect the vitality of plants, but the most important factor-the plant itself has been ignored. If this is a diseased plant, no matter how good the soil is and no matter how nutritious the fertilizer is, it will still not grow or even die. So are people. No matter how good the external conditions are, no matter how much you can give yourself, whether you can enjoy these depends on whether you have tenacious vitality, and the most direct thing is whether you have a healthy body and mind.
Second, the wisdom of life-diet
? Eating is the most common thing in life. But will you really eat it? Now the health books on the market are telling people what to eat and what not to eat, and become healthier and more nutritious. But more people ignore one thing-how to eat. Maybe someone will refute me. Who can't eat yet? Let me describe how most people eat now: when it's time to eat, they come to places where they often eat and are still thinking about work, study, relationships between men and women, family affairs and so on; Order ordinary dishes, then chat with friends or play mobile phones; When the meal comes, you start to eat habitually, and your mind is still at work, chatting with friends or on your mobile phone; You finish your meal quickly or slowly, and you don't care whether you are full or not, because your goal is to finish your meal. As for whether the food is delicious or not, it doesn't matter how much you eat Did you find the problem? When eating, my mind is not at all on the meal.
? Some people may think that eating is just a tool to maintain daily work and life. However, if you don't concentrate on eating, you can't taste food well, and you don't have enough nutrition to support your busy daily life. What you eat is not food, but mood. What governs your behavior is the sense of security, satisfaction, habits and desires brought by food, not your reason. If you want to lose weight and keep fit, please start with every meal. Learn how to eat first, then consider what to eat.
Remember the "mindfulness" we mentioned before? This concept can also be applied to eating. There is a data, on average, the average weight of people who are distracted by eating is heavier than that of people who eat seriously 18%. The source of the data may need to be verified, but for dieters and people with eating disorders, the importance of mindfulness diet is beyond doubt. Thich nhat hanh ate oranges with such mindfulness: "Concentrate on peeling oranges, feel the juice it instantly emits, and smell its fragrance in the air. Then take out a piece of orange meat, chew it slowly in your mouth, and experience every movement with rapt attention, such as biting it with front teeth, grinding it with molars, and stirring it with your tongue until it is almost liquefied and swallowed through the esophagus ... "Only when oranges are eaten in this way can they fully experience its elegant fragrance, which is also the great respect that nature gives oranges. Eat oranges and practice yourself. ?
? How can I concentrate on "eating" in my daily life?
1. Don't look at your mobile phone while eating. For individuals, mobile phones are the most distracting thing. When watching mobile phones, they will unconsciously eat a big bowl. The whole person is immersed in the world of mobile phones and can't remember what the food in his mouth tastes like. Therefore, first of all, we should reduce our psychological dependence on mobile phones, and then put them away to prevent them from contacting you easily. For a group of people, China people's food culture pays attention to gathering, looking at their mobile phones one by one, but pulling away from each other. I remember a news that the old man went to his children's house as a guest. As a result, because his son and grandson were watching their mobile phones, no one paid attention to him and left home. Although the old man's approach is a bit extreme, it also reflects that mobile phones sometimes alienate people's feelings when they are face to face.
? 2. Focus on food. No matter what you are chatting or thinking, please pay attention to food, feel your hunger and thirst for food with your heart, and be very clear about what you can eat, what you can't eat, what you should eat more, what you should eat less, what is healthy and what is unhealthy, and activate all the sensory organs of your body, including vision, touch, hearing, smell and taste, to seriously feel the food you are tasting.
? 3. Pay attention to your eating speed. The speed of eating will directly affect the speed of insulin secretion. Eating too fast for a long time will lead to insulin secretion too fast for a long time, and the body will have insulin resistance, because insulin is the only hormone in the body that lowers blood sugar. Once you have insulin resistance, the carbohydrates in the food you eat will be easily converted into fat, which is the main reason why eating too fast is easy to get fat.
? Not to finish eating, but to eat well. Clearly full, left and wasted, left and supported, how to do? If you don't eat food, you don't cherish yourself ... The best solution is to accurately estimate your food intake according to healthy dietary standards before ordering, such as "not enough" and "eat less and eat more".
Third, the wisdom of life-sleep
? A good sleep is the beginning of a good day. It will make you full of energy when you wake up every morning, and the whole person will look better. It will also improve the efficiency of work and study and make you have a healthy life. It is more and more common for modern people to stay up late. Simply put, staying up late or having poor sleep quality will make you more likely to get fat, ugly, stupid, poor memory, forgetfulness, illness and cancer than others.
? Here, I can't tell you how to stay up as healthy as possible, which is a free behavior here; I can't tell you how to control yourself from staying up late, because whether you can go to bed early depends on your own self-discipline except in special circumstances. But I can quote the BBC documentary "Ten Laws of Sleep" and give you some suggestions to improve the quality of sleep.
? 1. Hypothermia helps to cause drowsiness. When the temperature in the environment becomes lower, the body consumes more calories and people will feel tired. Therefore, you can take a hot bath one hour before going to bed. Hot water can raise people's body temperature by about 1 degree. After taking a bath, people's body temperature will drop, and when they return to normal body temperature, they will feel sleepy. If it is inconvenient to take a bath, you can choose to soak your feet until your back sweats slightly, which can also achieve this effect.
? 2. Improve insomnia through sleep restriction A. Strictly limit sleep time, such as 1 1 until 7: 00 in the morning, and only then can you sleep. B. Wake yourself up when it's time to get up. Don't procrastinate or catch up on sleep. C. Don't doze off at other times, and force yourself to keep a clear head.
? 3. Light inhibits melatonin, which will make people more awake. If you want to sleep till dawn, you can tighten the curtains, reduce the light source in the sleeping environment, and the most important thing is to have less contact with electronic products before going to bed. Because the blue light produced by electronic products will stimulate your body and inhibit the secretion of melatonin.
? 4. Does food affect wakefulness or drowsiness? Experiments show that high protein helps to wake up and carbohydrates help to sleep. Therefore, we should eat more high-protein foods such as eggs and meat for breakfast and lunch. And eat more carbohydrates for dinner, such as grains and fruits. You shouldn't eat any food before going to bed.
? 5. Pay attention to follow the sleep cycle. A complete sleep cycle includes five stages: falling asleep, shallow sleep, deep sleep and rapid eye movement. A cycle is about 90 minutes, and it is best to sleep for 4 to 5 cycles. However, the cycle time varies from person to person and cannot be calculated strictly according to 90 minutes. So if you wake up early, get up and stop sleeping. It will be more painful to sleep for a while and then wake up by the alarm clock.
? 6. Muscle Tightening-Relaxation exercise is to tighten and relax all parts of the body from head to toe in turn, keeping pace with the rhythm of breathing. Continuous 15 to 20 minutes is helpful to fall asleep faster and keep a deeper sleep.
? 7. Psychological suggestion: establish the relationship between bedroom, bed and sleep. Try not to do anything irrelevant in bed. If you can't sleep, get out of bed and do something else, and then go to bed when you are sleepy.
? 8. Adjust the biological clock by resetting the food clock. In addition to the biological clock, there are food clocks and food clocks in the human body. In general, the food entrainment clock will only be activated after hunger 16 hours. At this time, you can quickly reset the food intake clock through diet. Therefore, when traveling across time zones, if you don't want to get jet lag, you can first fast 16 hours and choose the first time to eat normally after you arrive at your destination, so that you can adjust your biological clock as soon as possible.
9. Snoring is also a disease. It is necessary to treat the hazards in time: snoring will repeatedly cause sleep and apnea, causing severe hypoxia in the brain and blood, forming hypoxemia, and easily inducing hypertension, brain heart disease, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, etc. The apnea time at night exceeds 120 seconds, and sudden death is easy to occur in the early morning. Reason: When sleeping at night, the nerve excitability decreases, the muscles relax, the pharyngeal tissue is blocked, and the upper airway collapses. When the airflow passes through the narrow part, it produces eddy current, causing vibration and snoring. In severe cases, you can temporarily stop breathing, thus affecting people's health. Treatment: Slight snoring can be improved by lying on your side, using soft pillows and avoiding smoking and alcohol before going to bed. In severe cases, functional volume reduction treatment can be performed on the hyperplastic tissues of nose, pharynx and larynx by using equipment or surgery.
? 10. Natural therapy uses pure natural lavender and valerian to make tea, and chooses healthy and comfortable bedding to simulate pleasant and comfortable natural environment, which can effectively help people fall asleep quickly and improve sleep quality.
? Fourth, fight fatigue.
? An energetic person can look at the world optimistically, work efficiently and bring youthful energy to people around him. But most people's state is that they are full of expectations at the beginning of things, lose interest in doing things, and become more and more tired. This kind of fatigue, confusion and irritability fills the brain, making people endlessly cycle in the anxiety that can't be solved and wants to change the status quo. If you want to fight fatigue, you must find out the possible causes of fatigue. ? 1. Competitive pressure. In the process of human growth, we need to constantly acquire resources, such as material resources, security resources, socially recognized resources and so on. During this period, if you want to get resources, you must compete. To compete, it is bound to cost energy. When the energy is not equal, you will feel depressed and tired.
? 2. Physical fatigue. Our psychological state will rise and fall like the ocean tide, which we call "heart tide". If we don't have a regular and healthy lifestyle, we can't excrete "toxins", and the stress response is declining, which will lead to fatigue. In addition, the tiredness and fatigue of women's physiological state also belong to physiological fatigue.
? 3. excessive pursuit of perfection. The pursuit of the ultimate, always have to pay some price. The last 1 step in the pursuit of perfection is often more difficult than the first 99 steps, and we will inevitably spend more energy and feel tired when we are dissatisfied and pursuing perfection.
4. High expectations. Before this happened, you had very high expectations for it, but the final result did not reach what you imagined, so the psychological gap brought by high expectations will also make us feel disappointed and tired.
? Only by knowing the cause of fatigue can we prescribe the right medicine.
1. Improve personal ability. With the improvement of personal ability, it will gradually become easier to obtain resources. Even if there is danger, you can handle it calmly and skillfully, so it will be easy to do things and then pursue better resources.
? 2. Keep your body and mind happy. Regular work and rest, healthy diet and persistent exercise will make your whole person radiant in the long run. If you feel tired, have a good sleep. If you feel sad, find something to make yourself happy. For example, Northeasters often say, "There is nothing in the world that can't be solved by a barbecue. If there is, then two meals. "
? 3. Self-defense. Before starting, cut off the concept of perfectionism and turn your attention to the matter itself. For example, some people want to sum up the most efficient working methods in order to finish the task ahead of time, and as a result, they always pursue the extreme when looking for methods, and spend precious working time on finding methodologies, which is not worth the candle. You should have expectations and goals to correct your attitude, but no matter what the result is, just try your best. Don't always immerse yourself in the environment of self-psychological gap, do your best, let fate take its course.
Fifth, cultivate cultivation.
? Calm and harmonious Chinese medicine believes that excessive anger hurts lung congestion, excessive euphoria leads to scattered qi and blood, and weak thinking leads to weak spleen and stomach. With the intensification of competition in modern society, it is even more necessary to be cautious and patient, be good at restraint and self-doubt, try to downplay gains and losses, and handle interpersonal relationships well. "Those who think are blessed, and those who think are in trouble."
? There is no need to take nourishing qi and vitality as the foundation of life. People should pursue something, but don't expect anything. If you expect too much, you will easily get angry and hurt your health. People should take what they can get, give up what they can't get, and cultivate their vitality with peace of mind. Only in this way can we "keep righteousness in memory and do evil." Excessive desire is harmful to people's vitality, not to mention health.
? Expanding stomach and nourishing qi The human body relies on the stomach to digest and absorb nutrients, so it is very important to expand stomach and nourish qi. The diet should be light, the thickness of meat and vegetables should be reasonable, and at the same time, it should not be too full. Excessive diet, alcohol and tobacco will lead to insufficient stomach qi and insufficient qi and blood.
? Give a long whistle to relieve breathing. This is an extremely important way for the ancients to keep in good health. Whistling can massage and stimulate the nose, throat, chest and abdomen. The singer's longevity is proof. After dinner, take a walk, sing a song, hum a few poems, or hum a few minor tunes, all of which can relax your mood, get rid of distractions and achieve ecstasy.
? Quiet and ventilated. A quiet brain is conducive to muscle relaxation and smooth blood flow. If you can keep your brain quiet for half an hour or an hour every day, you can give full play to the potential of brain cells, coordinate people's physiology and emotions, and reduce the consumption of heat energy.
