According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, recuperating the mind is the foundation of longevity. Mental health mainly includes the following aspects:
Peace of mind: Su Wen in Neijing pointed out: "Nothing is indifferent, and the true qi follows, and God hides in it, and illness is always safe. It is idleness, less desire, peace of mind, not afraid of fatigue, tireless, obeying your own desires and getting what you want. " The original intention of this passage is to say that people who are good at keeping in good health should be quiet and not disturbed by all kinds of distractions, so that the true qi can be unblocked and the spirit can be hidden inside.
Sick can't be born. Although appearance has an effect on the body, it won't make you tired. It can satisfy your wishes and make you healthy and disease-free.
This requires people to treat life with a broad mind. There is a sentence in Shou's version: "Don't say hello before things happen, don't bother when things happen, don't take notes, suck them in and let them out." Zheng Banqiao's famous saying "It's hard to be confused" is also well known.
The spirit of seasonal adjustment: people's thoughts change with the changes of the four seasons. Based on this, the ancients put forward the method of adjusting the spirit in four seasons to strengthen the body. That is to say, according to the seasonal point of view, the spirit and emotion should be lively in spring, smooth in summer, quiet in autumn and not leaking in winter. Cultivating spirit in this way will certainly adapt to external changes and maintain spiritual and emotional stability.
Treating God with Heart: As the saying goes, "Heart disease needs a cardiologist". Psychotherapy refers to a modern psychotherapy. Heart disease begins with yourself. Therefore, "it is necessary to tie the bell to solve the bell", and heart disease cannot be cured with drugs. Therefore, "treating God with heart" is to remind people to adjust their emotions at any time, not to think alone and not to get angry. Otherwise, once you get sick, it will affect your health.
Emotional restraint: Emotional restraint in life is a manifestation of self-cultivation. As the old saying goes, when someone criticizes himself, he is not angry but happy, that is, "self-denial can cure anger." "Xian Wen" says: "Endure a moment's anger and avoid a hundred days' worries". These are all ways to submit to humiliation, forbearance and control feelings. Obviously, if you can control your emotions, it is also a way to keep fit.
Spiritual sustenance: when people get old, they will feel lost. After retirement, having nothing to do and no spiritual sustenance will inevitably lead to a sense of loss. It is suggested that elderly friends should still find something they like to do after leaving their jobs, and if possible, they can "make up the difference" and give full play to their residual heat; Or study painting, play chess and listen to songs, plant flowers and trees, do housework and educate children and grandchildren at home. As long as the elderly have spiritual sustenance and confidence in life, they will not feel old.
When you are old and strong, you will give up the waste heat and love life. Sadness and anger can cause diseases, promote health and celebrate health.
