(1) Maintain a positive attitude towards life. A psychologist once said: "Feeling is a subjective thing, and life is a feeling. What attitude people use to feel and treat it, what attitude it will use to repay you. As long as you are enthusiastic, positive, optimistic and enterprising, your life will be full of sunshine. " There is a stalactite in Shanjuan Cave in Yixing. This is like a horse and that is like a sheep. The same is true of things in life. From one point of view, we can find its positive significance by looking at it with a positive concept, so as to get people out of their psychological predicament. Half a glass of water is very beneficial to our life.
(2) It is never too old to learn. To prevent mental aging, emptiness and boredom, we must first make the elderly curious and motivated. Curiosity is the psychological motivation to pursue new things and learn new knowledge, and the effective measure to stimulate curiosity is to organize the elderly to learn. Old people should be aware of many possible physical and psychological changes and their adaptation methods. We should also understand the diseases, accidents and psychological troubles that the elderly are prone to, and then we can prevent and treat ourselves. All understanding and knowledge are learning and results. According to research, moderate study is very beneficial to delay aging, especially psychological aging.
(3) Old people are useful and happy. Although birth, aging, illness and death are irresistible natural laws, people should serve the elderly physically and cannot do things beyond their power, but they should not serve the elderly mentally, be afraid of being old, be strong and be useful. Old people can do some jobs that they are good at but not very nervous, so that their spirit can be pinned and their life value can be reflected. Labor, including mental work, can exercise the nervous system, while doing nothing is harmful to the nervous system. Some healthy and interesting hobbies, such as calligraphy, painting, photography, stamp collecting and fishing, can make people have fun in their later years.
(4) Maintain good interpersonal relationships. I believe everyone is familiar with the image of "always teasing children" in many film and television works. Indeed, having a childlike innocence and keeping innocent feelings is very important for maintaining the health of the elderly and delaying aging. There is also a folk saying that "bitterness is worse than old age". It can be seen that the key is that the elderly live in harmony with the younger generation, and they are willing to accept the current "led" status. Similarly, it is also necessary for families and other members of society to respect the elderly and meet their reasonable needs.
