The first thing to do is to rest. This thought originated from Taoism of Laozi and Zhuangzi, and was continuously supplemented and developed in content and method in later generations. Health experts believe that the key to rest lies in nourishing the heart, which is advocated by Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism and medicine. "Confucianism says that the mind is right, Buddhism says that the mind is clear, and Taoism says that the mind is fine, so we should all participate in the study of mind." "All methods are idealistic, and human nature is idealistic. Heart is the master of man and spirit. If you refine your spirit, you must first refine your heart. " A cool head is sober, and a cool head is cool. "Therefore, health care should not be based on nourishing the heart."
Neijing puts forward the idea of "indifference to nothingness" for health preservation and disease prevention from the medical point of view. Su Wen Angry God said: "If you are quiet, you will refuse to be shut down. Although there is a strong wind and heavy poison, the Buddha can be harmed. " Here, the important principle of tuning is revealed from both internal and external aspects. Externally, adapt to natural changes and avoid the invasion of evil spirits; Internally, guard against nothingness and maintain peace of mind, so as to prevent external defense and internal defense, and the true qi will follow, and the evil will not be harmed. It can be seen that the essence of "quiet nothingness" is to keep quiet, keep quiet and open-minded, keep the spirit inside without losing, and maintain the physiological state of the body's unity of form and spirit, which is conducive to the prevention and treatment of hypertension and the promotion of health. Social investigation found that after major mental setbacks and ideological blows, without good psychological adjustment, the incidence of diseases such as hypertension increased significantly.
2. Cheerful and optimistic: Cheerful personality and spiritual optimism are the elements of fitness and the magic weapon of longevity, which is well-known common sense. Cheerful personality is a kind of psychological state reflected by broad-minded and open-minded. Although personality is directly related to human genes and genetic factors, it can change with the changes of environment and time. People's task is to adapt their personality to nature, society and their own health.
Confucius said in the Analects of Confucius: "If you forget to eat when you are angry, you will forget your worries." I wonder if the cloud is coming in his later years. "It can be seen that an optimistic mood is the best spiritual nutrition for conditioning spirit, relaxing mood, health care and anti-aging. Spiritual optimism can make the camp and health circulate, the qi and blood flow smoothly, and the vitality is vigorous, so as to be physically and mentally healthy. As "Su Wen All Pains" said: "Happiness means ambition, while camp benefits".
If you want to keep an optimistic mood forever, you must first cultivate a cheerful personality, because an optimistic mood is closely related to a cheerful personality. Broad-minded, spirit can be happy. Secondly, for fame and wealth and enjoyment, we should cultivate the idea of "contentment is always happy" and understand the truth of "being inferior to others", so as to feel satisfied in life and psychology. Third, cultivate a sense of humor, the direct effect of humor is to produce a smile. Modern scientific research has proved that laughter is a unique way of exercise. It can regulate human psychological activities, promote physiological functions, improve living environment, cultivate carefree, cheerful and optimistic personality, and make life full of youthful vitality.
3. Maintain psychological balance: one of the characteristics of contemporary society is competition. Being in a high-tempo competitive environment for a long time is prone to psychological phenomena such as anxiety, mental fatigue and tension. Poor handling will affect mental health. In order to adapt to the development of society and ensure a healthy body, we must cultivate the ability to maintain psychological balance in the competition. Cultivate competitive consciousness and psychological quality, overcome inferiority complex and eliminate jealousy.
To tell the truth, the most fundamental thing in the recuperation (non-drug treatment) of hypertension is psychological balance; As soon as the mind is balanced, the physiology will be balanced. As soon as the physiology is balanced, the metabolic function, repair function and rehabilitation function of the body will be greatly improved. The problem is that it is not easy to achieve psychological balance. Simply put, psychological balance is "a mirror" and "three threes". Philosophers have said that life is like a mirror. Laugh at it, and cry at it. What is happiness? There is no standard for happiness. Happiness is a personal feeling. You think that happiness is happiness and pain is pain; Therefore, some people tend to look at the world with a positive, positive and optimistic attitude and are always happy. Some people just look at the world with a pessimistic and negative attitude all day and are always angry. In addition, the same thing, from different angles, the result is completely different. What is "three threes"? The first three are three pairs: treat yourself correctly, treat others correctly and treat society correctly. If a person can treat himself correctly and have self-knowledge, he can accurately locate his life position, and it is easy to balance without being offside in life; I'm afraid the positioning is not accurate. The second is to treat society correctly. Full of gratitude to society. The third is to treat happiness correctly. Besides, we must enjoy life in adversity and stay happy forever. Paul Wright, the most famous cardiologist in the United States, once said, "Without tension and worry, there would be no hypertension." In order to ensure the three pleasures, there are three things: contribute to society and enjoy life; have adaptability at work and a normal heart in life; We should not only have the energy to face the work, but also have a colorful spare time life. With these three kinds of mentality, psychology can be balanced.
4. Emotional adjustment: (1) Anger "Anger" is the most taboo emotion of health care practitioners in past dynasties, and it is the leader of emotional diseases, which is extremely harmful to human health. Anger not only hurts the liver, but also hurts the heart, stomach and brain, leading to various diseases such as hypertension.
(2) Don't be humiliated by the vicissitudes of the world, everything is complicated; There are joys and sorrows, one after another. Laozi and Zhuangzi put forward the attitude of "not being ashamed to be surprised", which depends on honor or disgrace. Later generations called it "not being ashamed to be surprised". For any major changes, we should maintain a stable psychological state and not exceed the normal physiological limit.
(3) Moderately vent the accumulated and depressed bad emotions in the heart, announce and vent them in an appropriate way, and restore psychological balance as soon as possible. When you encounter misfortune and sadness, you might as well cry; When you are frustrated and depressed, you can vent your inner depression by shouting quickly, strongly and rudely, so as to restore the balance between mental state and psychological state. But vent moderately, and never take irrational and harmful actions.
(4) divert attention. Through certain methods and measures to divert attention and change the environment, so as to get rid of bad stimulating factors and liberate from emotional entanglements. For example, use the achievements of work and career to dilute emotional pain and pin your feelings. When you are unhappy and miserable, you can go for a walk in a park with beautiful environment or the seaside with wide vision to get rid of your troubles. When you are too nervous, arranging a short trip to expose yourself to colorful natural beauty can make you feel happy, relax, relieve stress and relax your nerves. When you are in a bad mood, listening to appropriate music and watching a humorous cross talk or comedy will make you depressed and refreshed.
